How do you separate from work when you're on vacation? I've been off for a week now but i still feel the need to read my email to make sure everything is ok. I feel that when something goes wrong while I'm out, it means that I'm a terrible planner. I'm curious as to what others do. I have a very understanding manager that encourages people to take vacation. But even then, I feel like I need to stay abreast of what is happening.
