How to get back to work? Read the following tips and discuss. Are they
really helpful?

1. Try to think positively

Practising positivity in the days leading up to your return can help. When you are thinking about your first day back at

work, instead of focusing on the negative – such as your full inbox or a daunting client meeting – think about those

elements of your role that you enjoy.

2. Consider changes you can make

If your typical working day leaves you feeling bored and you find yourself watching the clock, the prospect of

returning to the same old routine after a fun-filled holiday may not exactly fill you with joy. For example, if your

commute is long, buy some new books, subscribe to some podcasts or watch your favourite TV programmes.
3. Add some personal touches

According to the Association for Psychological Science, creating a tidy and more personal workspace can

improve your mood – whether you’re in the office or working from home. Try adding simple touches such as a

treasured photo (perhaps a snap from your recent break) or plants that will give you an instant lift.

4. Keep your first day back as free as possible

Avoid scheduling lots of meetings and calls. Instead, schedule time in your calendar to work through your
inbox. Start by focusing on the emails you know are a priority or have been sent by key stakeholders within
the business.

5. Take some practical steps

Before you leave for the holiday, go food shopping and fill your freezer with pre-prepared lunches for work

and healthy dinners. This will take the pressure off when you return and help you adjust back to a busy

schedule. This also means you will benefit from home-cooked healthy meals instead of resorting to takeaways.
