How Long It Takes to Bounce Back After the Holidays

Maybe you settled back into your routine last week, or maybe you’re not “kicking off your new year” until this week . . . either way, a new survey found it takes us, on average, about 4 days to get back into the swing of things, post-holidays.

Here are the top ten culprits that make readjusting so dang difficult:

  1. The weather is horrible.  Which is just depressing.
  2. The days are still short, and it gets dark early.
  3. We know we’ve got another two months of winter left.
  4. You just feel tired and sluggish in general.
  5. January feels like the longest month of the year.
  6. The excitement of Christmas has passed.
  7. Readjusting to your routine feels boring.
  8. It feels like ages before you’ll have time off work again.
  9. You feel like there’s nothing to look forward to now.
  10. You want to exercise, but can’t get motivated.
