The holidays are over and
it’s time to return to work. Many of us have spent innumerable days waking up
late, watching your favourite TV shows, and lounging at your favourite hotel in
Lagos with friends and family. Jumia Travel understands that transiting from
vacation mode to work mode may not be something you look forward to, but
whether you like it or not you have to return to work especially in this New
Year. Here are 5 tips to help you return back to work after your vacation and
get things done.
Organize
your workspace
The possibility that your
workstation will be messed up is very high. So, you should take out a few
minutes to clean your workspace. You should remove idle items and open your
emails which may have already piled up during your holiday period.
Make
a prioritized list of tasks
The tasks waiting for some
people as they return back to work may be inundating depending on the type of
job you do. It is a New Year, you don’t have to overwork yourself. You should
make a list of the things you want to do and ensure that you do each task at a
time. If you don’t, you may only end up not completing your task.
Get rid of unnecessary
distractions
What is preventing you
from concentrating on your job? Social media or your phone? Some workers check
their phones almost every minute. If any of these are distracting you, it is
perhaps time to get rid of them. You can switch off your phone or block social
media.
Ensure
you take breaks
Since you just are just
returning from work, it is possible for you to overwork yourself and not take
breaks. This is perhaps because you have so much to do. Notwithstanding, you
should know that you are just returning from vacation and it may arguably take
time for your body to adjust to the workplace mode. So, always take whether you
have a loaded schedule or not.
Deactivate
your ‘out of office’ auto response
For workers who activate
‘out of office’ auto response, you should update it before you get overwhelmed
by work. This is something that you may overlook but it is important so that
you will send the wrong message to those receiving your email. This is also the
best time to review your email.
