ST Headstart: Beating post-vacation blues at work
Welcome to the latest edition of ST Headstart, bringing you the best of The Straits Times' career, personal finance and lifestyle coverage every Tuesday noon. Sign up here to get weekly tips right into your inbox.
Coming back to work after spending a week or two on holiday can be depressing. But instead of dreading your return, savouring the present moment during holidays helps you gain more from them and improves your happiness. Business correspondent Tay Hong Yi has more tips on how to make the transition back to work less painful in his latest askST Jobs column.
Meanwhile, another way to find happiness is through bonding with pets. If you're looking for a new animal friend, pet shops, licensed pet breeders and animal shelters each offer different advantages. This writer recommends considering adoption, as careful screenings by shelter staff can help you find a paw-fect match.
On another note, Headstart is at the Thrive@Libraries festival this Saturday, Aug 16! Visit us at the SMU Admin Building, Level 5 Foyer, from 9am to 6:30 pm. Sign up here for our keynote fireside chat on balancing big ideas with business realities, moderated by ST assistant business editor Alyssa Woo.
See you there!
