The long weekend is coming to an end and you need to tune in to a working mood. For many, the period of adaptation after the New Year holidays is very painful. To prevent this from happening, you can follow some tips that will help the body get out of stress and set it up for work.
You should not try to sleep longer than usual or lengthen your sleep even slightly after the alarm rings. After a long weekend, it's best to get up earlier than you're used to. If you arrive at work before the rest of the staff arrives, this will give you the opportunity to relax a little, have a cup of coffee or tea, enjoy a few minutes of silence and tune in to the next working hours.
In order to be more efficient and easier to get involved in work after the long winter holidays, try to plan some important things in the morning for the current day. They should be written down in a notebook / diary, and then the plan should be strictly followed. This will allow you not to overload your head with unnecessary thoughts and do what is needed today.
The psychological attitude is also important. So, for example, self-motivation can help you get started from the first day after a long weekend. Try to plan a little more than you usually do. Set yourself high goals and even super tasks, make a kind of challenge to yourself. It's okay if you don't do something, but this motivation will help you start working right away. Just remember: you cannot scold and criticize yourself if something is not done in time or is not done as well and efficiently as you would like. Otherwise, you can provoke unnecessary stress in yourself.
Remember that you do not need to take on everything at once, arranging a kind of race with yourself and with time. You will not get the result, but the mood will definitely deteriorate and there will be no talk of any normal performance. Psychologists recommend starting the work week after long holidays with computer games that require quick reaction and concentration. Of course, you shouldn't get carried away, but 10-15 minutes spent playing the game will help "wake up" the brain and speed up its work.
