When you wake up in the morning, do you dread going to work? When you\u2019re there, have you become ineffective at what you do or how you lead? What do you do in these situations? It could be fixed with a simple change, or maybe it\u2019s time to not just step back but maybe to step away.
\nI consider myself a workaholic, and I\u2019m sure that friends, family, and co-workers would agree with this statement. While it is sometimes a great quality to have, the cost of this quality can takes its toll.
\nIt isn\u2019t always easy to take time off or get away, though, so here are some key things I think about so those steps back don\u2019t put me behind:
\nUse your PTO where you can get the most out of it.<\/b> If you have a 3-day weekend or a holiday coming up, but you feel like you could benefit from an extra day off (Spending one more day with the family or maybe just a day to relax after a vacation) then do so. Put your mind at ease and erase the guilt of maybe leaving a family function early or going back to work when you\u2019re not quite ready for it.
\nIf a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind<\/b>\u2026.<\/b> Taking a day off is not just good for taking a day off, but also for re-organizing your work and personal spaces. This doesn\u2019t mean to take everything on your desk and throw it on the floor. Organize the things you use daily; get rid of anything you aren\u2019t using anymore.
\nExtended leave of absence<\/b>. This is a last resort, but one you might need one day. An extended leave of absence, when necessary, allows you to reset yourself and your goals \u2013 personally and professionally.
\nNo matter what industry or work environment, the stress of everything can get to any of us. With the holidays around the corner and the end of the year nearing, think about how and when to take a break \u2013 then get back to doing what you love better than ever.<\/p>\n
