If you are like most people, you probably have a lot of vacation days saved up. But if you’re like me, you don’t want to just sit on your vacation days and not use them. That’s why I love setting my vacation in Outlook.
Configuring Out of Office in Outlook
Out of Office in Outlook is a feature that allows you to designate specific days and times during the week when you will not be able to respond to emails or phone calls. This feature can be configured in the Outlook settings.

In the Outlook settings window, click the Accounts & Settings tab, and then click the Email tab.
In the Email tab, under the Out of Office section, click the Add button.
In the Add Out of Office dialog box, type the days and times you want to use for your Out of Office policy, and then click OK.

Enabling the Out of Office Assistant
If you’re like most people, you probably take your vacations seriously. You plan and save for months, dreaming of all the places you’ll go.
But sometimes life gets in the way. You get a new job, your boss is on vacation, or your kids are sick. Suddenly, your dream vacation is out of reach.

First, set up your Out of Office Assistant.

Setting the Out of Office Message
Hello, colleagues!
I hope all is well and you’re having a great summer! I wanted to let you all know that I’m taking a vacation for a few weeks. I’ll be back in early September, but in the meantime, I wanted to leave you all a little reminder that I’m unavailable.
I hope to see you all soon!
Scheduling the Out of Office
Hey everyone,
I hope all is well and you’re having a great summer! I wanted to take a quick break and share with you my tips for planning the perfect vacation – even if you’re out of office!
First and foremost, make sure you have a solid plan. This is especially important if you’re traveling with others. Make sure everyone knows where they’re going, when they’re expected back, and what to do if they’re not back on time. You’ll have a lot more fun and less stress this way!
Second, make sure you’re comfortable. A lot of people overlook this, but comfort is key when traveling. There are a lot of great places to go out of town, but if you’re not comfortable, you’re not going to enjoy yourself. Make sure you’re packing the right clothes and have plenty of comfortable shoes to wear.
Third, have fun! This is key. If you’re not having fun, you’re not going to stick around for long. Make sure you’re staying on top of what’s going on around you and having plenty of fun activities planned.
Fourth, be safe! Always be aware of your surroundings and stay safe. Don’t drink and drive, stay out of sketchy areas, and don’t take risks you wouldn’t take at home.
Finally, document everything! You’ll never regret taking pictures and documenting your trip so you can always look back and relive the memories
Setting Exceptions for the Out of Office
I have a personal policy of not taking any days off during the first three months of the year. This is because I want to get my annual review done early and set the tone for the rest of the year.
However, if I am out of the office for more than three days during the first three months, I will set an exception for the fourth month. This exception will be for travel, illness, or other extenuating circumstances.
This policy has saved me from taking any days off during the first three months of the year on numerous occasions. For example, I was out of the office for four days due to a cold and ended up taking a full week off instead of just three days.
Likewise, I was out of the office for seven days due to an emergency with one of my children and took three days off instead of just one.
Additionally, this policy has helped me stay on top of my workload. For example, I was able to take a week off in the middle of the year due to illness and still have time to finish my annual review.
So, if you are ever out of the office for more than three days during the first three months of the year, remember to set an exception for the fourth month. This will help you stay on top of your workload and avoid taking any days off.
Conclusion
Outlook can help you plan your vacation with ease. You can start by creating a list of your favorite places and then arranging a trip to each one. You can also set up Outlook to send you travel updates, so you don’t have to worry about planning while you’re on vacation.
