There are those who say that even with days to go before their vacations arrive, their sleep schedule has already changed, there are those who look haggard, lazy, anxious, hungrier than usual, thirstier.
The countdown has begun so that When your vacation arrives and you feel that your nerves are taking over you, it is a tremendous feeling of overwhelm, it seems that the hours do not pass, your productivity drops significantly, you are aware of it… Friend, what you suffer from is the pre-vacation syndrome. Yes, yes, you read it correctly, not the post-vacation syndrome -which you will surely suffer when you return from your vacation-, but the pre-vacation syndrome, the one that invades your body days before your well-deserved annual rest arrives.
Indeed, I have pre-vacation syndrome: what do I do to avoid it?
It is a whiting that bites its tail: your productivity drops, however you know that before leaving everything has to be finished, everything well organized, no thread can be left loose. You are unable to do it, your brain has slowed down, your hands are paralyzed… They are all excuses to delay work, you think: I can do it after the cigarette, after the mid-morning break, well, better after eating. If I do that tomorrow…
We regret to tell you that little can be done to avoid this syndrome. It’s natural to be nervous and touchy after so many months of hard work. Now, you should not let this feeling persist once you have started your vacation. You must completely disconnect!
Having everything organized before going on vacation is a help to cope with this syndrome, of course, organizing will create some stress. .. Take a deep breath, take it easy, plan patiently, and above all, don’t leave it to the last moment. You know that after so many moments of anxiety you will have your reward. Enjoy your vacation days!
