On my first day back, I try to get up a little earlier to get a jump start on my day; make sure I have a healthy breakfast and a stong cup of coffee :-); then focus on my "to do" list; respond to urgent phone calls, urgent emails, mail that has stacked up, and I definitely do not schedule any client appointments on my first day back, either. I also spend a little time making sure my office & desk are organized and ready to go, and my filing is up to date. All of those things help me to ease back in and not feel totally stressed if I take any time off. All great tips and ideas!

I feel much more centered if I allow myself that day.

Try it. Now I'm talking about when you fit sit down to start your work. It sounds easy, but after about 45 seconds I start to get itchy and it only gets harder and harder. Wait it out until the 3 minutes are up, then dig into your list. I think you'll find you pick up speed! Have you ever tried to sit at your desk or wherever you work and do NOTHING for 3 minutes?

If I don't take time to make a list of things to do I get distracted and don't accomplish as much. It's also very gratifying to mark items off the list!!! www.elegant-window.com Mary,
