Positivity in Getting Back to Work Post-Vacation
Getting back to work after a vacation presents some unique challenges.
After taking more than a week offline, I am finding returning to my regularly scheduled program a bit more difficult than I had anticipated.
Why? I had a perfectly excellent time. I got to hang out with friends, disconnected and got in a ton of exercise, time outdoors, and sunlight.
Though I certainly love my work, it’s not that I don’t have ideas for things to write about. But I want them to be more than just filler or fluff, I want them to be insightful and interesting.
Are you snoring yet? Hopefully not. So let me share some insight about getting out of vacation mode, back to work, and the positivity in doing so.
Life in bite-sized chunks
I know that I have a tendency to get caught up in big-picture issues. After taking time off from the usual schedule and activities, when it is time to go back there is this enormous screen you face. Look at all the things you need to get back to, all the responsibilities…it can really be overwhelming.
SO — it’s important to chunk it down. Don’t let the calming and relaxing effect of your vacation get blanketed by all the things that make up your usual life experience. Don’t examine it…
