I'm very jealous of you on this -  in a week or two you'll be completely reborn and rejuvenated.

Meanwhile, if your workplace is anything like every place I've ever worked, your urgent To Do list will take you months to complete - a real stress producer! Instead, try to imagine you're a temp just filling in for the newbie when they arrive. Yes you should do a To Do list, but try and think of it as the newbie's To Do list, and you're just helping out doing what you can before you leave.

Somewhere on your list you could give yourself time to write an induction note to your replacement telling him/her about the main responsibilities, what regular jobs need doing etc.

Have a great time with your kids!
