Another Reason to Get Away: Vacations Increase Productivity in the Workplace

Have you taken – or do you plan to take - a vacation this summer?

The day you took off for a dental procedure and binged watched Game of Thrones from your sofa doesn’t count. Nope, I mean a real vacation, away from your regular routine and – gasp – away from work.

If the thought of those emails and projects piling up while you’re gone gives you anxiety you’re not alone. Turns out, almost half of U.S. workers don’t use all of their allotted vacation days. And for those that do, the majority of them still check email or take care of work business while they’re away.

Content Marketing Example - Straight from the Dog's Nose

Deep thoughts for a Tuesday...

I don’t know for sure, but I imagine that orthodontists can’t help noticing people’s crooked teeth. Even when they don’t want to.
And I’m guessing that interior designers subconsciously rearrange their friends’ furniture in their heads without even thinking about it?
I bet waiters take note of particularly good service when they dine out, because they understand the difficulties of the job.

Point is, no matter what line of business you’re in, it’s sometimes hard to find the “off” button. You notice things out of habit. You subconsciously critique, even when you try not to. Which is probably why lately I’ve noticed when content marketing is working on me, or I’m being targeted in a business’s email workflow. Sometimes I smile to myself, thinking “I’m on to you, I know this game!” But many times lately I’ve been impressed with how well companies have used good content to attract me and lead me further down their sales funnel.

Sorry Marketing Majors, Turns out Marketing is FULL of Numbers

Working at a coffee shop recently, I overheard a college student tell her friend/study partner, “Marketing is for business majors who don’t like numbers.”

Bless her heart.

If she only knew.

I didn’t want to burst her bubble so I minded my own business and continued working (on a spreadsheet, ironically enough). But she and her marketing major friends are in for a real treat.
