How to relax and rejuvenate

It is time to start winding down for the holidays, clearing your desk and finishing up all pending work. It is really important to take some time off, even if just a few days. PHOTO| MARTIN MUKANGU

What you need to know:

  • If you plan to do your shopping, hair and present wrapping on December 24, you will be overwhelmed by the traffic and long shopping queues everywhere.

  • If you know that you will not be able to get away before this, find time to do some of the important things early.

It is time to start winding down for the holidays, clearing your desk and finishing up all pending work. It is really important to take some time off, even if just a few days.

If you are self-employed, this may not happen immediately, but it should be the case immediately after Christmas. Experts have proven time and again that working continuously without taking time off is the fastest way to getting into a burn-out situation. Worse still, it could develop into a melt-down from which it is difficult to recover.
