Is anyone struggling with lack of motivation the first week back to work? I feel like I just don’t want to do anything basically🤣 I have got so used to having nearly 3 weeks (we shut down for a long period of time) of doing whatever and I’m finding it hard to slot back into my original routine. Any tips!?

I was feeling a loss of motivation but it occurred in an odd way. On Monday I felt kind of energized to be back and things went fine and I felt enthusiastic. It was yesterday when I guess it dawned on me that everything was back to the same old grind. And having to be working all day felt odd after the time off. Today I felt a little more stabilized, but it's been an odd swing of motivation up and down this week.

Big time! I'm still partially in vaca mode 😂 my brain doesn't want to work right now. It's not much of a tip, but I've been trying to ease back into the swing of things by setting small goals for myself each day, like organizing my calendar or clearing my inbox. Feeling like I'm actually getting things checked off my to-do list is slowly - VERY slowly - getting me back into work mode.

Coming back after a long break is rough. I try to ease in by tackling smaller tasks first to help me gain momentum and feel productive without diving straight into the deep end.

I struggle with this every year. I give myself a soft restart and focus on one simple task at a time until momentum returns.
