The holiday is over and people are now starting off the new work year. It's back to the same old routine of (most people) finishing work at 5pm, sit in traffic on the way home and get supper sorted.
With many people taking leave during December and schools closing, traffic was non-existent because everyone was either on holiday or simply taking it easy at home. Things are now slowly going back to normal again and going back to work after a vacation can make you feel like you need another vacation
For some, they are able to get into the swing of things seamlessly, while others still need time adjusting after an extended time away but that is usually the case. It's during the middle of January where you'll hear more foot traffic and the once vacant offices are now filled with personnel doing their duties.
If you once had a fixed schedule of perhaps going to the gym after work or attending dance classes, first see how your body feels after the long holiday layoff. The worse thing you can do is to go straight into a hectic schedule because it is likely that you can burn yourself out quicker.
