Before you dive into your emails, set goals and be realistic.
It will help you to draw a rough sketch of your work slate.
Don't go straight back to work, give yourself a day or two to relax.
Catch up on some sleep and use this time to unpack, do laundry, etc.
First, catch up on old mails. Scroll the office groups to get into the groove.
If possible, block off that time in your calendar so that your team knows you're busy.
As you go back to office after some time off, the amount of work may seem more.
Make a clear distinction between urgent and important.
Getting back to your usual best can take longer, so don't worry.
Don’t give in to the urge to start putting out fires and instead, set realistic goals.
