Your vacation has come to an end. What is your first thought when returning home?

In your work, you will find that there are several urgent tasks waiting for you. What will you do first?

I'll make a list and divide it according to priorities. I will take care of the quickest things to feel a sense of progress. I will ask my colleagues what is really urgent.

How do you envision the ideal first days after a vacation?

Select an answer:

Gradual return, without pressure and with time for conversations. Jump right into action, so I can get it over with. To have space for ideas that emerged during leisure time. Alternating easier tasks with mental breaks. Have a clear plan, but allow room for improvisation.

How do you react when you realize that your work hasn't fulfilled you for the second day in a row?

Select an answer:

I will start to explore what specifically bothers me. I can endure, after all not every day can be inspiring. I will talk about it with someone I trust. I ignore it – there are more important things. I am considering whether it is time for a change.

You notice that your colleague is demotivated after returning from vacation. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will ask him how he is doing – personally, not professionally. I will suggest a coffee together, to distract him a little. I will give him space – everyone adapts differently. I will offer help with something specific. I don't pay attention to it – everyone has their period.

Imagine you have one workday just for yourself – with no tasks. What would you do?

Select an answer:

I am engaged in creative things that there is otherwise no time for. I will reorganize my workspace. I take a deep breath and do nothing – just enjoy the peace. I am coming up with new ideas and direction for the team. I choose some manual activity to clear my head.

How do you maintain a feeling of lightness during the workday?

Select an answer:

I take micro-breaks and focus on my breath. I am writing down the positive moments of the day. I switch between types of tasks according to my mood. I'm joking with my colleagues, lightening the mood. I am trying to separate the important from the unimportant.

How do you react when things don't go as you expect?

Select an answer:

I am exploring a different way to solve it; I see it as a challenge. I will stop for a moment and take a new direction. I'll vent it out and move on. I'll put it off and come back later. I will analyze the reasons and try to learn from it.

Which statement best reflects your attitude towards returning to work?
