Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion: How to switch to holiday mode? Easy, get a bag big enough for a book and a beach towel
Briefly

Setting an out of office message is less effective in 2025 due to the ubiquity of smartphones. Most individuals remain reachable through text or direct messaging. A more successful method to embrace holiday mode involves physically changing bags as a psychological shift from work to leisure. By storing away the work bag, it symbolizes a break from work responsibilities and encourages engaging in enjoyable activities. Choosing a more spacious holiday bag promotes relaxation and leisure rather than the stress of checking emails.
The best way to set your brain to holiday mode is by signing out of your Work Bag, marking the moment by switching to a more casual bag.
A holiday bag sets the tone for how you spend your break, helping you to engage in leisure activities without the pressure of work.
