How do you get back to work after a long vacation?

I have found it to be more productive and many times easier. To not only plan a vacation but also plan an early return to home base. When that is not possible then there is good old Plan B.... First, take care of emergency work needing immediate attention and response. Keep the most important boss, customer, client, happy and things usually work out better. (But Not Always) Second, after accomplishing the above. Then, organize all what is left-over by priority on a note pad. And scratch them off when completed. Third, the above provided a way for me to see things being accomplished. As each day the list stopped growing and started to shrink down. It is just a mind thing but it worked for me, maybe it will for you too!
