If you haven’t felt the spirit of the festive season yet from Christmas carols, daily shopping, final bookings to holiday and Christmas plans, you might not be in South Africa or you’re slaving away behind a work desk.

It might be a difficult time to stay focused and motivated at this time of the year, many choose to just ignore work and start becoming lethargic.

Some days you feel it, and other days you can’t get yourself to do anything.

You stare at the computer screen, willing yourself to type, create, plan meetings, and instead you find yourself trolling down your social media feeds and feeling FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

If you really have to be at work then you don’t have a choice but to make it count. TYI has created a motivational booster to keep you going and help you get over the last few days before the holiday or working during the festive season.

Ready, Set, Go… 


 

Redirect you focus.

You’ve worked hard all year to get where you are now. So the best thing is to redirect your focus just for a few days. Even if it means you have to pep talk yourself every morning or every minute if you have to.

Set your priorities in order:

By now you know what works for you and what doesn’t work. So get your priorities straight as you walk into the office. Start working earlier so you can catch up with a few people during the holidays.

Go out after work.

Turning up at a restaurant or pub after work ensures that you’re not sitting in the corner and feeling frustrated with things.

To help you get over the FOMO slump, listen to your favourite pick-me-up songs throughout the day and create the best party in you head.

Here is our pick-me-up playlist:

1. “We Dance Again” – Black Coffee ft. Nakhane Toure
