Well, the free days were over. The holidays are over, back to work. And it's ages until Christmas! Here's how to oil up the machinery. Get it going slowly so you last a long time.
Tip 1
A week before work starts, go to bed on time. Then your body and mind will be ready. Nice. ❤
Tip 2
Do some mindfulness. Right here, right now. Here and now. Don't think about everything that needs to be done later. ❤
Don't worry, there will be more holidays. Until then, why not give Teamr a try?
Tip 3
Before your holiday, you may have been suffering from stress. But now you're relaxed and see what's most important. You see the big picture. You have perspective. Take that with you and make decisions based on it. ❤
Tip 4
Prioritise the order in which things should be done. Then you don't say no, you just plan. ❤
Tip 5
Many people go to work feeling powerless. That can make your stomach hurt. One trick can be to own the job mentally, think of this as a mind trick, a game: if it was all up to you and there was resistance, what would you do? The mental attitude that everything depends on you can paradoxically reduce stress. Run the place! ❤
Tip 6
If you are a manager - make sure you have clear roles and clear objectives. Care about your employees and listen (really listen!) to their experience, thoughts and ideas - most employees change jobs because of their immediate boss. ❤

Tip 7
Now is also a perfect time for kickoff. You've booked that, right? If not, make it happen. Here are tips for team building! ❤
Tip 8
Be cheerful and upbeat, watch and listen to your friends and spread good energy to them. Show that you care. ❤
Tip 9
Start planning in May for what to finish before your holiday and what you can start when you get back from your holiday. Then you can relax when you are free. ❤
Tip 10
For next time: spread out your holidays, if you can. Start work on a Thursday. Break up a long holiday into several and spread it out over the year. ❤

Tip 11
It's very much about your own approach. Do you think you'll drown in the email basket? Or do you think you'll do what you can until you catch up? Your thoughts have a direct effect on your stress hormones. It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full, it's tiring to hold. If you think "I'm behind", you hold the glass. ❤
Trick 12 We like to argue at Skillnad that everyone can love Mondays. But ok, sometimes it might not be so much fun on a Monday at 8am in early August. But hey. You have the opportunity to influence it yourself. Both by treating yourself well and prioritising your team. ❤
