They often advise to avoid travel, sensitive communication, and making decisions during this period. Surviving Mercury in Retrograde is quite simple: we need to remember to proofread everything, stay away from situations primed for misunderstandings, choose our words carefully, avoid signing contracts, back up our data, and plan for travel mishaps.
