Productivity right after the holidays is tough and can surely be quite a stretch. The kind of
stretch that, in brief, rips through your hard-earned rest. Indeed, it may be hard to get everything
back in gear. The absence of work is easy to adapt to, in time.
On the positive side, vacation days are a great productivity hack as they often feel like a
cognitive reboot. In fact, going on a vacation might be a great way to refresh your productivity.
That is if you get any rest, of course. In truth, most vacations these days can load you with
worries and anxiety. Particularly the winter holidays. To be sure, all those details you need to
take care of can sometimes take over.
In any case, returning to work after a vacation is rarely easy. To be sure, it feels like work just
stacked higher. There is so much more to do, and a lot less energy for it. For the same reason,
all those new year resolutions feel like an ordeal.
