Returning From A Bleisure Trip? What Should You Do?
After returning from a half-business, half-personal (Bleisure) trip to New Orleans, here are some steps you can take to wrap up your trip effectively:
Organize Your Receipts: Compile and categorize receipts for both the business and personal aspects of your trip. Separate them for expense reporting (business) and personal tracking.
Follow Up on Business Contacts: Send emails or LinkedIn messages to individuals you met during the business part of your trip, thanking them for their time and keeping the connection fresh.
Review Your Expenses: For the business portion of the trip, ensure that all relevant expenses are logged in your expense report software or system, along with notes to clarify any business-related expenses.
Plan Future Follow-ups: Schedule reminders or set tasks for any follow-up meetings or connections you made during the trip.
Unwind and Reflect: Since your trip also had a personal side, take time to unwind and reflect on the personal experiences—whether you visited new places or connected with friends and family. This balance helps rejuvenate you for work!
Share Insights: If applicable, share any insights or learnings from your New Orleans trip on platforms like LinkedIn or within your company, especially if the business portion offered new opportunities or industry insights.
