Kelly Forrister’s been really busy improving her productivity… by taking a vacation.

I was also off email for 6 days–always a great experience for me to disconnect from the world that way. Sure enough, despite hundreds of emails upon my return, nothing was so urgent it couldn’t wait or be covered by someone else. When I’m in busy mode it can be hard to convince myself sometimes it’s OK to unplug. But I don’t think there’s ever been a time where I’ve regretted when I have gone off-line and given my brain some breathing room from the day to day grind.

Yet another example that it’s a good idea to take a break, especially from email. I would bet she didn’t miss those meetings and emails when looking at this view.
