Things to note after resuming work from the holidays

By Jumia Travel Tanzania

If you are a regular user of the roads in the City Dar es Salaam, then you must have noticed that they have started to form queues comparing to the past few weeks of the festive season. The main reason is because most people are back from the holidays to proceed with their daily office routines following the end of festivities.

Honestly, many people find the month of January very difficult to work with the same pace as before following the holidays. Most of them are lamenting of the fatigue, boredom, and that not-to-work-feeling due to too much time spent away from the office. The following are the few things to note that Jumia Travel (www.travel.jumia.com) thinks would be helpful to you in combating that situation.

Set the alarm to wake you up early

It’s obvious that nobody bothers to set the alarm during the holidays because there are no reasons to. But if you did so, now it is the time to reset it again otherwise you will be late for work during the first few days.

Start by tackling the unfinished tasks

Not all people do finish their tasks before leaving for holidays, you can’t finish them all by the way. Therefore, the first thing when you get back to the office is to make sure you complete all the unfinished tasks so as to get back on track with your colleagues.

Ask your colleagues what went down when you were not around

It does not mean that things are not proceeding when you are not around. It's better to be proactive by asking your co-workers the projects on board, and what your responsibilities are.  

Do exercise

Exercises are good for your mental and body health because they will help you to recover to your normal condition. You can either do exercises in the morning or evening after work on your way back home. Also, you can decide to join the nearby gym or jogging alongside the road, that depends on your own preferences.

Evaluate yourself

The moment when you get back to the office after the holidays, is the perfect time to do a self evaluation to contemplate on what you have achieved over the past year. This will help you to understand what you attained and what went wrong so as to formulate effective strategies towards this new year.   

Seek for advice

Sometimes it is not possible to overcome the transitions our minds and bodies go through. Hence, we are advised to seek for advice from people who have been in the same condition and who understand what we are going through. Moreover, seeking professional help from therapists is widely advised more oftenly.

There are a lot of several techniques to help someone from escaping that feeling of not to work or boredom in the early few days after the holidays. Jumia Travel (www.travel.jumia.com) hopes these tips will help you recover your momentum.
