Ah, business travel. Just the words can conjure thoughts of chaotic back-to-back meetings, restless nights in a strange bed and pure exhaustion. But it doesn’t have to be that way! While tight schedules may be unavoidable, if done correctly, you may experience less stress and dare we say it – actually enjoy your business trip!

Keep the below tips in mind to help you relax and unwind on your next business venture.

  1. Unplug – Yes we know, it is business travel after all, but limiting the amount of screen time you have is a surefire way to unwind. If you can spend some time completely off the grid – fantastic! If not, try to minimize your electronics use and go enjoy local sights or spend time reading in the hotel lobby (or visiting you hotel spa, we won't tell!). 
  2. Plan your time wisely – With so much to do in such little time, time management is essential. Prior to leaving, make a list of the high priority things that need to get done, meetings and presentations of the like. Schedule them into your calendar while also blocking off several slots for “you” time – like unplugging, taking a coffee break, visiting the local tourist attractions, etc. Avoid over planning and leave some wiggle room!
  3. Get adequate rest – Getting enough sleep goes hand-in-hand with planning time wisely. Don’t sacrifice shut eye just to attend one more meeting or event. For you to be at your best during business hours, this tip can’t be ignored. If you’re one of the many that have trouble sleeping in a hotel (or any new environment that is unfamiliar to you) this is especially important. Step away from work and play early, and find something to help calm you down from the day’s work – consider taking a bath, doing some mindfulness exercises or watching TV. 
  4. Take care of your health – Whether you’re traveling for business or for pleasure, nutrition and health can be overlooked. But in order to unwind, eating well and taking care of your body is key. Proper nutrition can increase your energy levels and focus and scheduling in a workout can help get your blood pumping, boosting endorphins and reducing stress levels! 
  5. Enjoy ground transportation – Your time on the road is invaluable, spending it behind the wheel on your way to or from a NYC airport isn’t the best option. By reserving your airport transportation with Dynasty Limousine, you’ll be able to use your time in transit to catch up on flagged emails, prepare any notes/presentations or simply, shut your eyes and relax – so you’re able to arrive to your destination feeling stress-free.
