Starting from what you should do before vacation, or before/till the end of holidays, before the studies, and continuing with how to restart yourself and get past post-vacation/holidays productivity dip with advice provided.

Even if you’ve enjoyed a long holiday with your best friends on the trip, for instance, two weeks in Hawaii, or a week at your grandparents’ summer cottage with your entire family, coming from vacation can leave you in a productivity fall that’s difficult to escape. It appears that time away should leave you calm and revitalized, but that doesn’t always imply, whether it’s conquering the hill of post-travel laundry or coordinating a full day of appointments.

However, getting back into your schedule and avoiding wasting time is simpler if you handle it in two ways: planning your first day back before you go and refreshing your mental state when you return.

Before You Leave for a Trip or Come Back To the Office or Studies: Prioritize Pre-Trip, Work, Studies Preparation:

Finish everything needed before you go! Make yourself feel more comfortable while you’re away. It can also make you more prepared for your first day back. Furthermore, if you will iron sheets and towels left in the laundry before the relaxation time, the stacks of holiday laundry won’t feel as onerous, when you had your time to rest.

Particular preparations will seem slightly different for each person: Some individuals want their house to be perfect, their mailbox empty, and all of their online orderings delivered; others want the garden ferreted, meetings scheduled, and voicemails answered. Clearing everything off your list can make your departure day feel more rushed, but it’s frequently worth it: Consider it as a present for your future self.
