Even with a mince pie in hand and The Muppet Christmas Carol on screen, it can be hard to properly switch off over the festive period.
The festive period is supposed to be a time of rest, relaxation and merriment… but all too often, we find ourselves still thinking about work. How do we switch off?on screen, it can be hard to properly switch off over the festive period. Try as you might to get stuck into the merriment, the siren call of work stress and checking emails continues to blare – often in a chorus with that old favourite, productivity guilt.
“If the last 20 months have taught us anything, it’s that we should be taking time to properly relax with our loved ones,” he tells us. “People are now working harder and longer hours than ever before and should use their personal time as a way to disconnect from corporate life.”We know, we know, it feels scary. What if someone at work needs you? What if something big happens?
“If switching off notifications doesn’t work for you, it might be an idea to delete any work-related apps to stop you from checking in on what’s going on while you are off.”Cooper says: “Sometimes the best way to forget about work in your personal time is to draw a line under anything you have been working on. This means not leaving any pieces of work half-finished and making sure you are on top of your inbox before you clock off.
“If you are planning on taking annual leave, then it’s important that you manage the expectations of your managers, clients and staff, by telling them as early as possible when you intend to be out of the office,” says Cooper.If you have a hard time switching off, it might be worth getting your friends and family involved to keep you on track. Perhaps you ask that there’s a ban on work chat or, if someone spots you checking your emails, ask them to remind you that you pledged not to do that.
