Career psychologist Sinéad Brady says learning Cognitive Shutdown is key if we are to feel rested over our annual leave.
With summer comes the holidays and the gloriousness that is our Out of Office. But so many of us struggle to leave our work behind. So much so, the bulk of us never really do switch off. Career psychologist Sinéad Brady says learning Cognitive Shutdown is key if we are to feel rested over our annual leave.
To combat this, Sinéad says we need to re-evaluate at how we view productivity, looking at it in a more multi-faceted way. “One really easy way of doing this is to have a different routine for going to work and a different routine coming home. On your morning commute, you might listen to the news, catch up on emails, make work-related calls, set out your results list, write your to-do list and name your not to do list, or read the news headlines. On your way home, you alter your routine making it a non-negotiable promise to yourself that you will begin to wind down on the commute home.
Create a results list for yourself. Forget a to-do-list. Be razor sharp in your focus outlining the 3 things that you are going to get a result in the week before you go on holidays. Be clear with yourself that you are not going to do everything instead give yourself permission to get the highest priority tasks completed.
