With holiday season around the corner, we are all looking
forward to time off to relax and rejuvenate. However, coming back to the office
post break could be a toll for both our physical and mental health. It is not
uncommon to feel exhausted and unmotivated after a break from work. To dissipate these feelings, check out some
of these tips below to avoid the post-holiday burnout this season!
1. Eliminate burdens:
While the holidays are a time to wind down
and relax, spare some time to take care of personal business at home. Prior to
the start of the holiday, avoid over scheduling upon your return. Do not
inflate other’s expectation of what you can deliver. Overestimating your
capabilities would only lead to a let-down for all parties involved.
2. Reset internal clock:
For most, it is incredibly difficult to
snap back into work mode immediately. In order to avoid missing your dreaded
morning alarm on the first day of work post-holiday, consider going easy on
your schedule on the last few days of your holiday break. Adjust your bedtime
hours to your usual work week schedule to ease your internal clock for an
easier transition; this is especially important if you have traveled abroad
during your holiday!
3. Ease back into things:
Upon returning to the office, it is
important to prioritize your tasks and schedule accordingly. It is also helpful
to take regular breaks throughout the day. Continuous working could in fact result
in less productivity as exhaustion can hinder our judgment and perspective.
