On Monday, we celebrate the social and economic accomplishments of the American worker. In an effort to truly honor the spirit of the holiday, here are 5 things I forbid you to do this Labor Day weekend:
- Set Your Alarm Clock. Sleep in. You work hard. You deserve it.
- Check Your E-Mail. Don’t worry, those “urgent” e-mails will still be there when you log in on Tuesday.
- Make or Take Business Calls. Please step away from the cell phone. Turn it off or send those calls straight to voice mail. Just like your e-mail, the messages will still be there for you on Tuesday.
- Engage Your Professional Social Network. I know you’re concerned about your Klout score but a couple days away shouldn’t cause any irreparable damage. Besides, we’ve got something in common with your e-mail and voice mail, we’ll also be here on Tuesday.
- Neglect Your Family and/or Friends. Spend some time with those other people in your life who you don’t get the chance to see while you’re in the office.
Hope you all have a fantastic, relaxing, and disconnected three-day weekend!

Good advice, Adam. If only my boss would heed it …
Great advice. It’s timely and so true that so many of us find it difficult to unplug. My number six? I forbid myself from putting so many things on my “to do” list that I forget to sleep in, spend time with family and friends,and enjoy an “unplugged” weekend.
