Looking forward

Going back to the office will be new terrain. To help ease into collaboration and communication, pay attention to the following:

• Don’t overschedule yourself. Allow yourself some open, non-task time and space to readjust.
• Set an intention for connection. Research shows that our minds wander 37% of the workday. Returning to the office can lead to distraction, which is not ideal for collaboration and connection. Try to set an intention to reorient your attention.
• Get more sleep. Extra commuting, catch-up socializing, and mental overload will be tiring.
