How to Disconnect from Work
When on Your Fishing Adventure
By - Aikens Lake Wilderness lodge
Picture this: you’re standing in a stream and you’ve just cast your line into the water. You’re feeling relaxed and focusing on the water. Then it happens. As your office calls, your cell phone disturbs the calm and likely scares the fish away. Is that how you want to spend your vacation, instead of concentrating on fly fishing in Manitoba?
It’s hard to completely unplug from the office, even if you do schedule a vacation. Smartphones and the Internet make it easy to stay connected and be reachable. Consider these tips for disconnecting from work to focus on a fishing adventure.
Trust Your Team.
If you find yourself calling to keep tabs on your team members, that’s not the most relaxing way to spend your vacation. Not only does it keep you linked to work, but it distracts you and could cost you the perfect fish. It could also communicate to your team that you don’t trust them.

Home.
One of the best ways to unplug from work is to not bring it with you. Leave your computer at home. Leave work phones too, unless you use your personal phone for work too. In that situation, consider the next tip.
Delete Your Work Email.
If you take your work email off of your smartphone, you won’t be receiving emails that link you to the office you’ve just gotten away from. Relax. You can put it back when you return to work.
Conclusion
Vacation time helps to lower blood pressure, stress levels and allows you to go back to your job with a fresh mind. Spending time out on the water, casting a line and spending time out in nature is a great way to unwind.
