Ease Back into Work After a Long Holiday Break

10 January 2023

After taking a vacation this Christmas and New Year break, don’t you find it hard to return to work?

You were binge-watching one Netflix show after another with your children at home and now you need to go back? You just went on an island hopping trip with your parents and now you need to work again? You absolutely had nothing to do so you can savor mornings more and not think about any work for the whole day.

But the time has come. You now have to say goodbyes to your parents who live in a different state. You have to finish the Netflix shows you’ve been binge-watching. You plan to finish that painting of your mom before there’s paperwork in front of you instead of paint.

You need money to cover bills and have your quote, unquote “best life” so there is no choice but to work again. Even if you have a business, you can’t avoid work forever. At some point, you need to face it again.



But how will you work when your mind is still in vacation mode?

The first, simplest yet effective advice is to just do it. Nike really hit the nail on the head when it pushed people to just do things. It’s always much better than inaction so if things are taking time, the best solution is to force yourself to just do something without overthinking it.

Having a to-do list will help to make sure that you don’t forget anything and that you can prioritize what needs to be done first.

What you can do is to take on small tasks first so you won’t get overwhelmed. Answer your emails one by one until you’ve already covered everything. Clean your desk to clear your mind. Request for an update on a project that you left. Finish projects that cascaded from last year’s unfinished work. Take things slowly and allow yourself to gradually ease back to work.

Of course, it’s a big help if you already worked on a lot of things before going on vacation. You should have also set up an out-of-office e-mail then so that you won’t be stressed on your first day back to work.

One last piece of advice is to make use of the right tools around you to motivate and boost your productivity. Ergonomics can help you organize things, make work comfortable and convenient, as well as put you in a focused and alert state.

Here are pieces of ergonomic furniture that you might like:
