Is the relaxation from your summer break already a vague memory? Do you feel in need of another break to stay productive and motivated for the last quarter of the year? You are not alone in the struggle to hang on to that refreshed glow.
Instead of coming back to work to inject our projects with endless energy and creativity, we are stuck to catch up with emails and falling further behind of projects and tasks.
We at Timeo-Performance love to see how participants in our business accelerator trainings such as “Getting The Right Work Done” learn to take charge of their time by determining, creating and implementing powerful goals and sustainable action plans.
I compiled for you great articles about strategies to recharge under stress, to get the most out of a micro-vacation and to stay focused by taking control of your time.

Such work stress has been shown to induce anxiety and anger, unethical behavior, poor decision making, and chronic exhaustion and burnout — all of which impair personal and organizational performance.

A lot of people feel exhausted just thinking about planning a vacation—not just navigating personal commitments and school breaks, but deciding how to delegate major projects or put work on hold, just so they can have a stress-free holiday. Because of this, some might put off their time away, figuring they’ll get to it when their schedule isn’t so demanding, only to discover at the end of the year that they haven’t used up their paid time off.
