Hello, this is Laura Lee Rose. I am a speaker and author. I am an expert in time and project management.
I help busy professionals and entrepreneurs create effective systems so that they can comfortably delegate to others, be more profitable and have time to enjoy life even if they don’t have time to learn new technology or train their staff. I have a knack for turning big ideas into on time and profitable projects.
At the end of the day, I transform the way you run your business into a business you love to run.
Today’s comment came from a busy business owner:
How do I schedule 2 weeks of vacation when we have aggressive delivery schedules?
Your responsibility to is make the team know well in advance – what your vacation schedule is. You should have all your vacations outlines by end of January. This allows people to create effective project schedules that include your vacation schedule. And now the project plans can manage around your vacation time.
I also recommend NOT TO modify your vacation based on project changes and project deliveries. It has been my experience that project plans change. And even if you are trying to schedule your vacation “after” a project is done – what normally happens is that the project is delayed and now you see that your vacation is at a bad time for the project. So you postpone your vacation again – only to discover that the project is delayed again. If you just select a vacation time that’s right for you – regardless of the current project schedule – everything will be fine.
