Now that many people are working from an office again, and it’s ok to take holidays and travel, we remember that getting back to work after a summer holiday is hard. You’re in the office while your mind is still on the beach, but the longer you put off the tasks the harder it will be to finally start working on them. In fact, the best thing you can do to minimize stress is to make a schedule and be productive from the very start. But that’s often easier said than done.

Whether you work in the office, remotely from home, or still study, returning to your desk after a break can be daunting. Here are our best productivity tips to help you get back on track.

Clean Your Desk

Don’t even think about starting until you’ve cleaned your desk and threw out all trash and clutter. Just get it over with.

To-Do List

If you’re not sure where to start and everything seems urgent, list the tasks that are waiting for you and prioritize them, then start working on the first one.

Start With Manageable Tasks

Pick three things that you can do to get your mind moving in the right direction. It’s okay if that’s all you manage to do the first day.

The idea behind gift-giving during the holidays is beautiful. It really does create joy to give your loved ones something thoughtful. However, in practice, holiday gift exchanges can be quite wasteful. Here are a few ways you can cut down on your waste when giving gifts this winter.

Gift Donations, Experiences, and Used & Homemade Gifts

If you practice low waste, you probably already spend more of your money on things like experiences and used goods than you put toward buying brand-new merchandise. There’s no reason why you can’t apply this ethos toward gift-giving, too. Giving a donation in your loved one’s name to their favorite charity is not only a zero-waste gift, it’s also a meaningful one.

Go Easy on Wrapping

One of the most wasteful parts of gift exchanges is all of the wrapping and gift bags and tissue paper and bows that go straight into the trash. Instead of wrapping your gifts in brand-new wrapping paper, consider using recycled newspaper or scrap fabric. If you receive gifts that are wrapped in paper, save it for next year instead of throwing it out.

Plan Ahead

Do your best to plan your gift list ahead of time. That way, you’re more likely to buy people things they’ll actually want and put to good use. You also will save yourself the temptation to last-minute panic-buy something online with two-day delivery that will inevitably create a lot of waste in the process.

If you’re living abroad for an internship, studies, or any other reason, the holidays can be a challenging time. While you may be used to celebrating Thanksgiving with close loved ones, living abroad may mean having to miss out on some of your favorite holiday traditions. To keep the homesickness at bay, here are some tips for how you can celebrate Thanksgiving even when you’re away from home.

Find Other Ex-Pats

Pretty much anywhere you live, there’s likely to be people from your home country who are also going to be looking for something festive to do during Thanksgiving. Getting a group of you all together can be a great way to not only make your holiday better but that of others, too.

Introduce Old Traditions to New Friends

Chances are, you’ve made plenty of friends in your new country who are excited about introducing you to traditions, dishes, and customs from their home. They’d probably be more than happy to have you return the favor and show them what a traditional Thanksgiving looks (and tastes!) like.

Call Into Thanksgiving at Home

Even if you can’t be at home with your family for Thanksgiving dinner this year, if time zones allow, consider video calling into their meal via Zoom, FaceTime, or Skype. You’ll be able to feel connected to your loved ones even more miles away.

Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is all about the food and the feast. From turkey and stuffing to sweet potato casserole to cranberry sauce, the staples of the season are all on the table. Just like any celebration though, everyone typically has a drink in hand. This year, go above and beyond and make seasonally inspired cocktails for that finishing touch you’ve been looking for. Here are some ideas.

A Little Bit of Everything

This fall concoction really has it all. It gets most of its flavor from fresh fruits—pear, apple, cranberries, even pumpkin—and as a result, is incredibly healthy. It is wonderful because it is not a heavy drink either. The alcohol is just cider and white wine. This tangy drink is sure to complement any Thanksgiving meal.

The Old Fashioned

Everyone loves a good smoky whiskey drink around the holiday season and this holiday is the perfect opportunity to try a seasonal twist on a classic favorite. In addition to the traditional bourbon with bitters, this drink adds more sweet flavors to complement the meal and tone down the strong whiskey. Honey, cinnamon, and a little bit of apple cider take the edge off.

Pomegranate Spritzers

For anyone that wants a bit more of a bold flavor, this cocktail calls for pomegranate, blueberries, and a variety of flavorful juices to add some pizazz to the drink. The alcohol suggested is white wine, prosecco to be specific, so this is a light and incredibly flavorful addition to any dinner.

If you love candy, you need to see this!

There’s a new temporary accommodation in the heart of London, in Soho, and you can stay in it this year around the holidays! Its name is appropriate — Candy Cane — and it features all the candy you could ever imagine along with theme-fitting decoration.

This sweet house will be available exclusively on Booking and for a very limited time. Two guests will stay there over a period of two days when they will be able to enjoy delicious Christmas candy and the incredible space that looks like something from a fairytale.

Each room in the Candy Cane house will be decorated in the holiday spirit, featuring all of our favorite things about Christmas. The rooms include a Ginger-Bedroom, Coco-Kitchen, and Sugar Cube-icicle bathroom. The house is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the city where all the luxury brand stores are located.
