4 tips to pick up your work routine with
energy
Back to the office: avoid startup stress
The moment when you resume your work routine comes several times a year. After a vacation, after the holidays or simply after a period of rest. Whether you start your workday online or in the office, an energetic restart requires conscious choices. These four Back to the Office tips from our colleagues will get you off to a powerful start.
1. Make stress your friend
The transition from relaxation to a full schedule sometimes feels awkward. A mailbox bulging, appointments scheduled and colleagues wanting to talk to you. Stress is part of that. Luna chooses not to fight stress , but to harness it! It gives her focus. “I see it as a challenge. Grateful that there are valuable projects ahead and an opportunity to sharpen my productivity.” Research shows that your mindset determines how you experience stress. Your physical response follows next. Want to discover how to make stress manageable? Then check out the Optimal Coping with Stress training course.
2. Structured planning
A good handover beforehand helps, both for yourself and your colleagues. After returning, our colleague at Customer Success always starts by sorting incoming mail: need to know, nice to know, not to know. This is followed by a schedule that gives you something to hold on to. Clear communication to other colleagues prevents misunderstandings. Would you like to sharpen your own productivity rhythm? The training course in Time Management will help you.
3. Zoom out to zoom in
A vacation is the perfect time to zoom out. By distancing yourself from the daily activities at the office, you start to see the big picture again. Therefore, according to Adam Galinsky, a social psychologist and expert on travel and creativity, the new impulses you experience during a vacation have a positive effect on you. “New sounds, smells, tastes and sensations activate new synapses in our brain and thus offer our mind a chance to reinvigorate itself,” Galinsky said. One of our marketing professionals on the team uses free moments to literally zoom out. Upon returning, it helps to put them on paper right away. That gives direction and motivation to get back to work!
4. Schedule a workout
For many professionals, exercise works as an important link in regaining rhythm, including one of our other colleague from the marketing department. Scheduling a training course after the first day of work provides relaxation and resilience. A vital rhythm helps you handle stress better. Regular exercise balances your cortisol and supports sustainable recovery.
Whether you return from a vacation or a shorter break, the quality of your reboot often sets the pace for the weeks that follow. By consciously resetting, you give yourself an edge: more focus, more resilience, more direction. Want to maintain and deepen that effect?
