Breaking Out of The Ordinary
Everyone has their normal daily routine, it is something that we cling to like a comfortable blanket. A good deal of us probably hear the early morning alarm that wakes us up out of a deep sleep and we think, "how am I going to get up and do this today?" The good thing is that you know where you have to go and more than likely already know what you have to do.
When traveling for business, the unknown becomes your reality and your whole routine can become derailed if you aren't careful. You have a schedule but it is something that was made for you, not by you. Don't worry though, I have created a short list of ways that you can stay productive while on your next business trip so that you won't have to stress about explaining to your boss why you didn't get anything done.

1.) Make a checklist of all of the items you may need while on your trip: It is difficult to try and pack your life into a suitcase, especially because of the limited amount of space you have to deal with. Remember to pack business attire (probably the most important thing), casual attire, cosmetics, electronics, and sleepwear just as the essentials. By making a list you will be able to relax knowing that you brought everything you could ever need on your trip.
2.) Put your electronics in your carry-on bag: Depending on your luggage preference, it may be a good idea to hold on to your electronic devices when you board the plane. Even if you opt to check your bag to it's final destination, things can happen and the airline may lose your bag. If you packed your laptop and your iPad in your checked bag, you may be out of luck when it comes to conducting business on your trip. As you can imagine this could lead to a very unhappy boss when you return home.
3.) Check in with the office: By allowing yourself to keep in contact with your co-workers back at the office, you can ensure that you are getting all of the projects done that you are assigned to. You can also make sure that you are on the same page as your team in regards to project details and updates. Since it will be tough for your team at home to contact you during your trip, make sure to answer emails as quickly as possible so that you can stay in the loop.
4.) Try to keep with your normal schedule: Even though going on a trip may throw off your normal rhythm, it doesn't have to completely knock you off of your feet. Attempting to stick with your normal routine will do you a lot of good when it comes to staying productive. Waking up and going to sleep around the same time is important for keeping your mind sharp so that you are able to make those important decisions each and every day. If you exercise regularly or eat healthy foods, try to make sure that you partake in those activities as well so that your body is not shocked by any differences.
5.) Reserve your transportation before your trip: Planning your rides in advance will help ensure that you are not stranded when you have somewhere important to be. Ordering a last minute Uber/Lyft to pick you up from the airport at 5am is never a great feeling. Sometimes you have to wait for a half hour for the app for find a driver for you and then you never know the quality of the transportation you are going to get. Ride sharing drivers are not professionals and are not trained at all. Many times the driver will end up getting lost or going the wrong way down a one way street. It is best to book your transportation with a professional corporate limo service to ensure that you are provided with a licensed, trained driver who will be on location when you arrive. You will also be picked up in a late model vehicle that is maintained to the highest standards in regards to both safety and comfort.
