Getting back to work after Thanksgiving can feel like stumbling through the fog – your brain is still somewhere between pumpkin pie and holiday planning.

Sure, your inbox is probably overflowing and those deadlines are staring you in the face… but you don’t need to hit the ground running at full speed.

Think of this week as your warm-up lap.

Here are a few tips I’m focusing on to ease back in:

• Take 10 minutes before diving into your email or task list to jot down your top 1-3 priorities for the week.
• Find a quick win that will create momentum and help you feel accomplished right away.
• Schedule short breaks to maintain focus and keep your energy levels up this week.
• Plan something fun to look forward to (anticipation can be a powerful motivator).

How do you ease back into work after a holiday? Hit reply – I’d love to hear your tips!
