Monday after a holiday always feels different. The regular rhythm returns, but the holiday mindset lingers. Do not fight this. Ease back in. Demand less of yourself today.
Start slowly. Review what needs attention. Choose one priority for the week. Resist the urge to catch up on everything at once. That intensity rarely serves well, especially in summer heat.
The week will find its pace. By Wednesday, the holiday will feel distant. But today, allow for transition. Allow for the gradual return to full productivity. Allow yourself to be human about the shift from rest to work.
What is your single priority for this week?
