Getting back into the routine after the summer and holidays can be a big challenge. During the holidays we change our daily habits, schedules, diets and activities. But September is already here, and we must get back to our responsibilities, projects and goals. Therefore, we leave you some tips to do it in a more effective and sustainable way.
1. Plan your return gradually
Avoid an abrupt return that can create stress. If possible, get back into the routine a couple of days before your vacation ends to adjust to your daily habits. Establishing a prioritized to-do list can help you structure your first few days to feel less overwhelmed.
2. Reset your schedules
Reset your sleep routine to match your work schedule. A good rest will help you be more efficient. Also, get back to your eating habits, resume your meal schedule and opt for healthy foods that give you energy.
3. Set realistic goals
Set small, realistic goals for your first few days back. Avoid doing it all at once. Prioritize tasks and divide them into more manageable parts.
4. Keep a positive attitude
A return to routine is inevitable, but with the right attitude it can be less difficult. Reconnect with your surroundings, your daily activities, and with the people you share your routines.
5. Organize your workspace
Take time to organize your workspace before diving into your tasks. An orderly environment improves concentration. If possible, introduce changes to your environment that make it more comfortable or inspiring.
These tips will help you make the transition back to routine smoother and with less stress.
