September return to work: Managing post-vacation stress
As September begins, many individuals are experiencing the ‘post-vacation blues’ or ‘back-to-work blues,’ a temporary psychological reaction to the sudden shift from relaxed holiday rhythms to rigid professional schedules. This transition often manifests as fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and stress caused by accumulated emails and new project deadlines.
To manage this transition, experts suggest a progressive return to work rather than attempting to resolve all backlogs immediately. Strategies include prioritizing tasks by urgency, protecting calendars from excessive meetings in the first few weeks, and maintaining healthy habits such as physical activity or relaxation routines established during the summer. In cities like Rome, the return to office is further complicated by high temperatures and the need to balance professional responsibilities with personal well-being.
