If you feel as though you don’t want to go back to work after the holiday season, you’re not alone. Many people find it hard to get back into work mode in the New Year.
In this article from the Harvard Business Review magazine, author Art Markman provides some tips to help you avoid post-holiday funk.
Art suggests that you:
- focus forward instead of backward to generate the energy you need to get started
- be specific about your goals for this year to improve your chances of achieving them, and
- make the right kind of social comparisons to help you feel motivated.
I’m interested to hear what you do you do when you return to work to get the new year off to a good start. Tell me in the comments below or pop into my Career Coaching Club Facebook group and share your thoughts there.
