Book Your Annual Leave ASAP!

It is easy to get swept up in the demands of your job, letting holiday plans slip down the priority list.

As your ideal leave date draws nearer, guilt can start to creep in, especially if you haven't asked for time off yet due to your busy schedule.

The closer the date gets, the harder it becomes to take leave. After all, there will always be another deal to close and another client to advise — work won't take a break, and you may start to feel that you shouldn't either.

Booking your annual leave early is the smart play. It gives you time to be emotionally ready to step away and also gives your team adequate notice to find cover (or avoid assigning you to that deal in the first place).

So, don't let guilt steal your holiday — plan ahead and enjoy your time off.
