Make your vocation your vacation. That is the secret to success (Mark Twain)

For once I've been able to clear the decks of work so that I can enjoy my study break, rather than leave things hanging until the end of the break - my usual method.

That means my marking is up to date and feedback has been sent to my students; details of a health and safety incident in the last week have been completed; preparations and planning for the start of Term 3 have been sorted for my class and the supervision of students at my campus; and my email inbox is down to single figures.

That's a great feeling. I can head off on holiday now without that nagging suspicion that I have stuff to do.
