Finding it hard to get back into the swing of things after a long holiday? It could be because you haven't had enough time to relax.
No matter how you look at it, holidays still cannot replace a full vacation.
Moreover, often before such a vacation, things accumulate that we manage to complete only at the last moment, and as a result, we are faced with fatigue and burnout.
If you feel like you'd be thrilled to sit at home for another week, but work just makes you feel bored and irritated, this is probably your story.
What to do to get back in shape?
If you recognize yourself in the description above, don’t despair. Instead, try the following methods – they should help you get back to your work routine:
Recognize the need for rest
The first thing you need to do is admit to yourself that you still need a rest. Don’t scold yourself for lack of enthusiasm: this is a normal state after the holidays. Try to work in a more gentle mode for 1-2 weeks.
Tidy up your workspace
Go through drawers that may contain items you've long forgotten about, from an old chocolate bar to a dried-out shoe polish.
Remove all unnecessary and superfluous items from the table surface, leaving only the necessary items and a couple of little things that bring a smile to your face.
Take on simple tasks
Start with the easiest tasks or those that bring you pleasure. This will allow you to gradually get involved in the work process.
Don't forget to rest
After work, don't check your email or think about how to get your tasks done.
Instead, do things that help you relax and recharge.
This could be walking in the fresh air, reading or playing sports – the main thing is that it brings pleasure.
