What You Should and Should Not Do
During a Mercury Retrograde Phase
Don't make any important moves when Mercury is retrograde. Nothing will be settled successfully for the future during these periods anyway - you will find it nearly impossible to nail down a plan. During a retrograde period, it is hard to get decisions from others. Even if a decision is made, it will be subject to change, either just after Mercury turns to direct motion or much later.
Mercury retrograde periods would not be good times to do anything involving communications, such as launch a magazine, website, or an advertising or publicity campaign.
These phases are also considered poor times to launch any new endeavors, even if they are not related to the communications industries.
Similarly, a retrograde period is not a good time to sign any contracts or even to shake hands on any new agreements. Do not close on a house during this time nor sign a lease. Verbal agreements are considered the same as written ones. The environment will be quite fluid and changeable, no matter what you are told or what you think.
It's not that the people you are dealing with are necessarily duplicitous. It's just that nobody can fully predict what conditions will be like later. If you start a new job, it won't necessarily be the position you thought it was when you accepted it. If you are a manager, you will have difficulty choosing the right candidate for the job, so, if you can, hold off hiring anyone. If you buy a house, problems could crop up later that were completely unanticipated. -- Source.
Yogi Bhajan on Mercury Retrograde
Yogi Bhajan
 When Mercury retrogrades in the Heavens, it takes one hundred and seventy percent more energy to communicate the same thing. Note it down, one hundred and seventy percent more energy to communicate the same thing... so things are important to understand, the universe and our self. Within our self it is important to understand the Chakras. -- Source.

IT'S TIME FOR INTROSPECTION
WHEN MERCURY IS IN RETROGRADE
The planet Mercury rules communication, travel, contracts, automobiles, and such. So,when Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow for extra travel time, and avoid signing contracts. This time is traditionally associated with confusion, delay, and frustration. This is an excellent time for introspection and reflection on the past. Intuition is high during these periods, and coincidences can be extraordinary. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions. See IsolatedSeer.com.
A week or two before Mercury retrogrades, finish any tasks or projects at hand. You can’t stop your life, but plan ahead, have back-up plans, and be prepared for angrier people and miscommunication.
Some people blame Mercury retrograde for “bad” things that happen in their lives. Instead, take this time to sit back and review where you put your energy in your life. For example, if family and faith are important to you, are you putting your energies there or just overextended in other areas? Take a moment to reflect. --
