Switching off from work with a pre-holiday routine
Getting ready for some time off can be pretty stressful when you have a lot going on at work! Tying up loose ends before you leave for a few days/couple of weeks can be full-on, so it is time to introduce a pre-holiday routine to help you have a Better Workday. That way you can finish up anything you need to, and plan for your first day back so all you need to worry about is relaxing!
How To Create Space in Your Workday
The third time I reached burnout in my career wasn’t due to working excessive hours or not being able to switch off in the evening. It was due to a lack of space in my workday. Work was crammed into every available minute, leaving no time to rest. The result was that, although I logged off every day at 5.00 pm, I burned out due to work exhaustion and stress.
Manage your time with a weekly planner
What would you do if you had a half-day off from work? A recent study of over 3 million people found that we are working, on average, 1 hour longer each day. The result is that many of us are spending 5 hours, or over half a work-day, every week working when we didn’t plan to. There are many reasons why the workday can spill over into the evening or weekends. One of the most effective ways to address the problem is by planning your week. A weekly planner will help reclaim your time and improve your work-life balance.
