Workation means – loosely translated to Polish – ‘pracowakacje’, i.e. a combination of a rest trip and work duties.
Increasingly, tourist regions are choosing to establish so-called digital nomad villages – these are able to accommodate a certain number of people who declare a minimum stay of one month on workation before arrival. Guests receive a prepared list of accommodation made available to them on favourable terms, an offer of discounts on on-site services and products, as well as a reserved co-working space – with internet access, a comfortable desk and other necessary amenities.
Working remotely from abroad can be a great diversification of the home office.
Being away from home prompts almost everyone to get out of their room and look around after finishing work. At workation, naturally, everyone starts making plans to get out of the house and these are plans that cannot be ‘postponed’. After all, workation is time-limited, so there is no chance of postponing the exploration of the area to next week, for example, when there is less work. This positively influences the motivation to complete all professional tasks within the standard working hours and to have an afternoon to manage.
Workaction helps to ‘activate’ after work
Staying in an unusual place prompts most of us to do something new outside of work. It could be walking in the countryside or spending an evening by the hotel pool. Most importantly, many of the activities that seem natural to us after spending a day in front of a computer at a workstation can be turned into a habit when we return home and thus ensure a healthier lifestyle.
Workaction – stimulates greater self-discipline and efficiency in less time
When we work from home, many of us assume that we have to allocate a certain amount of time – roughly equivalent to the standard time spent in the office, i.e. seven to eight hours – to fulfil our professional responsibilities, and schedule our work in such a way that we rarely get it done faster. Meanwhile, the attractive environment at work (and the number of after-work opportunities) makes us anxious to get the job done efficiently, much faster than usual. This ‘time pressure’ allows us to verify how much we really need to complete certain tasks. With a little self-discipline, it is possible to streamline your work on a permanent basis, and the time this frees up gives you the opportunity, among other things, to squeeze new projects and activities into your schedule.
