The Holiday Hangover: How to Get Your Ass Back Into Work Mode After Time Off

from Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney · host Megan Yelaney

The post-holiday transition can feel harder than we expect, especially when you've had real rest, space, or slower mornings. In this episode, I'm sharing a very honest, behind-the-scenes look at how I'm getting back into work mode after time off, without the pressure to have everything mapped out or "perfect" on January 1st. We talk about: How to put the post-holiday slump into perspective (and stop being dramatic about it) Why doing the hardest, most needle-moving task first changes everything How I'm using simple focus tools like the Pomodoro technique to ease back in What comparison at the start of the year is really telling you A simple mindset shift that makes getting back to work feel lighter Why having something to look forward to every day matters more than motivation If you're feeling excited about the new year and a little resistant to getting back into routine, this episode will help you reset in a way that actually works for real life.
