For many of you, summer is here and the holidays are fast approaching! 

Here is a list of helpful apps and valuable advice to take the stress out of holiday planning. We want you to get the most out of your vacation. So just follow our apps’ configuration tips. Go on vacation with serenity by ensuring a return without the stress of 150 emails and 45 calls.  

 

1. Don't forget anything with Microsoft's To-Do 

Easy to learn, the To-Do List application of the Microsoft 365 suite lets you quickly list the different tasks to be done before going on vacation. 

As on a sheet of paper, add a task to the list so that it is visible then tick it when completed. The advantage is that Microsoft To-Do is connected with Outlook’s scheduled tasks.  

P.S.: And we do not stop here… This app also synchronizes with your smartphone to allow you to find your lists wherever you are!

2. The out-of-office automatic replies in Outlook 

One of the first things to do when planning a vacation is to inform your colleagues and external contacts of your absence. To do this, it is possible to configure an absence message directly in the File tab to report, first, the users who work with you, and secondly, all the people who do not work in your company. 

For safety, you can indicate in your message the person to contact during your absence. This way, your colleagues and external contacts will know who to send their emails to during this period.
