Smart habits for taking a workcation

To get our weekly posts directly in your inbox, sign up for the Training for Translators mailing list!

I’m the guest on this week’s episode of Smart Habits for Translators (Madalena Sanchez Zampaulo and Veronika Demichelis’ really awesome podcast about the language professions!)

Madalena and Veronika interviewed me about smart habits for taking a workcation. My husband and I spent the month of July in Fernie, British Columbia (a small town in the East Kootenay region, about an hour over the US border from northern Montana). We worked pretty much full time and spent evenings and weekends mountain biking and hiking. In the podcast episode, we talk about:

  • How to take a workcation
  • Why to take a workcation
  • How to choose a location
  • What to take with you
  • How to make this work if you have kids

You can listen on the Smart Habits website, or find the podcast in your favorite podcast app!
