You've left and returned already but I have a few tips for readers:
To avoid illness, wash your hands EVERY TIME and don't touch your face with your bare hands (I think it's critical). I get paranoid about it before the trip because a simple closed sinus means no diving.
Next, make lists of what you have to do. Not having to keep it all in your head is a big help.
Pack at least a week before your trip so that you just have to get up, pick up your bag and go.
Then delegate tasks while you are away. Not so easy based on the replies already here, but try.
Next is set expectations that you will be gone and then back on X day so they can just deal until yu get back
