Revitalize Your Winter Break with These 6 Essential Preparations By Rivette Pena The holiday season is fast approaching, and as you eagerly anticipate your well-deserved Christmas break, it’s crucial to ensure a smooth return to work. Here are six essential tasks to tackle before you immerse yourself in the festivities: 1. Strategize Your Lesson Plans in Advance:
2. Create a Serene Workspace: Treat yourself to a clutter-free environment by tidying up your desk. A neat and organized workspace will not only welcome you back with a sense of calm but also set a positive tone for the upcoming year.
Before you embark on your two-week break, take some time to prep your lesson plans and organize all necessary materials. Avoid the last-minute rush and ensure a seamless return by setting the stage for a productive new year.
3. Activate the “Out of Office” Mode: Unplug from work during your break by turning on the “Out of Office” notification for your email. Resist the urge to respond to messages from parents and dedicate this time to creating cherished memories with your family.
