Roskachestvo named the reasons for the difficult return to work after a vacation

The difficulties in returning to the usual routine after a vacation are related to several factors at once, said Sergey Lvovsky, an expert at Roskachestvo, an expert on team development at Beyond Taylor. In an interview with Izvestia on September 2, he gave tips that would help you get into a working rhythm without unnecessary stress.

"The main reason for our difficult return lies in the lost work rhythm. During the holidays, our biological clocks are reset. We wake up later, eat at a different time, and our activity and rest are governed by completely different rules. The brain and body get used to a relaxed state, to the absence of stress and deadlines," he explained.

According to Lvovsky, when a person tries to quickly return to his usual work pace, the very "perfect storm" arises — an objectively increased workload meets the inertia of the vacation regime. This explosive mixture creates a feeling of burnout, apathy and deep despondency.

The school management fears that it will be necessary to recover the funds paid for the rest if the teacher does not work for a year.

The main principle that will help to avoid apathy is to gradually get into a working rhythm without abruptly engaging in tasks. First of all, it is necessary to synchronize with the work schedule — to restore sleep, nutrition, rest, and return to the usual routine. You need to adapt gradually, without taking on a lot of stress in the early days, Lvovsky said.

"Trying to meet double the norm in the first couple of days is a sure way to get completely drained and crushed by the end of the week. This approach devalues all the rest you get and leads to unpredictable consequences in the medium term. Instead of an even amplitude of working capacity, you get a wave-like swing: now you are a Stakhanovite hero, then the greatest procrastinator. It is better to avoid these swings," the expert believes.

The expert also advised paying special attention to breakfasts and dinners and giving yourself time for them, rather than eating in a hurry. Returning to work will be painless if it is gradual, and productivity will be stable and sustainable, he concluded.

Earlier, doctor Svetlana Mirgorodskaya called the rules of rest for the eyes when working at a computer. According to her, the "20-20-20" rule must be followed: after 20 minutes of intensive work, you need to look for 20 seconds at 20 feet (6 m) into the distance, to the end of the office, out the window, and so on.
