Skip to content Easing Back Into Work
After the Holidays
Coming back to work after the holidays can feel overwhelming. Instead of diving headfirst into tasks, take a moment to reset, reflect, and plan intentionally. Here’s how to ease back into work with purpose while focusing on your career goals, workplace skills, and meaningful connections.
Spend 30 minutes to an hour clearing mental and physical clutter.
Start with a clean slate by organizing your workspace. Declutter documents, archive unnecessary emails, and create a fresh environment for productivity.
Instead of setting annual goals, break them down into quarters to make them more achievable.
Find ways to stay accountable, whether through a goal tracker or regular progress reviews.
Take time to nurture professional relationships that support your growth.
Before rushing into the new year, take time to reflect on your achievements, challenges, and lessons learned.
Write down your top 2-3 career goals for the next year and identify specific workplace skills you want to sharpen.
You Got It!
Easing back into work is about being intentional, not perfect. By clearing the clutter, revising your goals, fostering meaningful connections, and reflecting on your progress, you can start the year strong and stay motivated.
