There’s a great episode of "The Office" called “Back From Vacation” where the fictional manager Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, just can’t seem to leave his Jamaican vacation behind, so much so that he plays steel drums in the office and wears a tiny braid in his hair.
The show is right on target. It’s getting harder to let go of your vacation time and start concentrating on work time.
• Schedule your return to give yourself some reentry time.
• Start planning your next vacation right away.
• Call a co-worker before you return.
• Bring back a memento and keep it on your desk, recommends Debbie Mandel, a stress-management specialist and author of Turn On Your Inner Light
