Getting back in work mode after the holidays

Create Yourself - Practical Activities for Self-discovery, Transformation and change.

**Podcast Notes: Getting Back in Work Mode after the holidays.**

Hey everyone! Can you believe summer is already wrapping up? It feels like just two minutes ago we were welcoming it. Now, the school holidays are over, and Zen is heading back to school on Tuesday. Time flies!

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of home-related activities. I had such high hopes of being productive with work during the break, but as it turns out, life had other plans! Between putting bikes away (only to pull them out again), making endless meals, and managing kids running in and out, my productivity took a back seat.

But you know what? That's perfectly okay! Sometimes, life takes over, and you just have to go with the flow. Instead of feeling guilty about not getting more done, I’ve decided that September is my fresh start date. A new month, a new mindset.

I’m kicking off a new, exciting project this September, and I’m feeling a bit unsure of where to begin. It’s time to shift gears, dig deep, and get motivated again. Getting back into work mode after a relaxing summer is definitely a challenge, but feeling sluggish or unfocused is totally normal during this transition.

To help get back on track, I’ve put together some tips to regain motivation and energy:

1. **Set Small, Achievable Goals:** Start with simple tasks to build momentum and gain a sense of accomplishment.

2. **Create a Routine:** Establish a daily routine to help transition smoothly from summer relaxation to work mode.

3. **Revisit Your “Why”:** Reflect on why you do what you do to reconnect with your purpose and reignite your passion.

4. **Declutter Your Workspace:** A tidy, organized space can improve focus and inspire productivity.

5. **Start with What You Love:** Tackle the tasks that excite you the most to set a positive tone for the day.

6. **Break Tasks into Smaller Steps:** Simplify overwhelming projects into manageable steps and celebrate small victories.

7. **Get Moving:** Incorporate physical activity to boost energy and clear your mind. A few minutes of movement can make a big difference.

8. **Set Boundaries:** Define work and personal time to avoid distractions and maintain focus.
