Vacation Over, Back To Work

Transitions are always hard for me, but I think this is true for most people. It has been over two weeks since my family left for vacation. We have many more new memories and we are glad to be back home.

I made good on my promise “not” to check business email while on vacation. This weekend, I waded through hundreds of email, most being obsolete already. Funny how little life an email has.

The trick is to ease back into my routine. The last thing I need to do is to let the problems and issues hit me hard and destroy the peace. Two week vacations really  refresh you. I highly recommend them.

This is a time of reflection for me. I almost consider this to be the beginning of a new year, at least professionally. I want to change some things, learn new management strategies, and make more of an impact.

I have my goals printed out next to my computer. I think I will read them, because vacation has seemed to purge most of of professional memory.

Have a great Monday.
