Take it easy

On your first day back in the office, you may be greeted by a tidal wave of emails and a mountain of paperwork first thing in the morning. Don’t panic! Scan through them and sort them according to their urgency, so you know which tasks you should deal with first.

Alright, so you feel the urge to take in more work if that means making up for the time you were on a holiday, but by doing this, you are just biting off more than you can chew. Don’t be afraid to say no. It will cause you nothing but stress. Just focus on the duties you currently have and work on another project once you’re done or almost done with them.

Clock out on time

You may have a lot on your plate on your first day back at work, but you yourself know well enough that finishing all of them in one day is impossible. Handle what you can over the day, while keeping track of your hours, and leave the office on time. Your mind and body will thank you.

Schedule another trip
