Do you remember those few days leading up to your holiday? While you were on the job your mind was in the mountains or on the beach. Doing that in reverse may help. You don’t have to think about it for a few days though, just a day or two before you head back to work. Start listing the projects you will have over the coming weeks. Prioritize the things you want to get done. The brain will start to pull together the threads of tasks you left behind.
If you are fully engaged in your job then you will be keen to get back and tackle those projects. If you are not fully engaged in your work then a few days of asking yourself why not, would be a good idea. There may be small things within the workplace that would help you to be more emotionally involved and excited by your work. No? Perhaps take the time over the holidays and reassess your life. Is your current job taking you in the direction you want to go? What options do you have?
Go for a run or a good workout after your first day back at work to release the stresses of the day and make a commitment to regular workouts to keep some of the benefits of the holiday. And if you have had a fabulous holiday or been overseas, bring a little something back for fellow team members. It will give you the opportunity to reminisce about the holiday and they will get the opportunity to enjoy some of it as well.
