Happy New Year! 🎉🥳 hands up who’s finding it difficult to get back into work after some time off 🙋🏼‍♀️ . . Here’s three tips to help kick start a productive year 💪 . . 1. Make a plan 📝 sometimes it helps to brainstorm what you hope to achieve this week or month and write down a plan to keep you on track. . . 2. Do easy tasks first ✅ tick those easy (and sometimes mundane) tasks off your to-do list first, such as replying to emails, before launching into something that requires more brain power. This can help get you into the correct headspace to tackle bigger tasks. . . 3. Take breaks 💆🏼‍♀️ don’t expect to be able to go full throttle from your first day back. Give yourself time to ease back into your working schedule and make time for the things you enjoy. . . Do you have any top tips for us? 👩🏼‍💻 . . #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMaths #NewYear #Productivity #ProductivityTips #BackToWork
