Mental Closure
I’ve been in the industry of corporate training & development for over 13 years now. I’ve heard it all, seen it all and been through it all when it comes to corporate training sessions. One thing that consistently lacks, when it should be one of the most prevalent threads, is employees who are putting any sort of mental closure on their work day. They are working late, bringing work home with them either physically or emotionally or mentally, sleeping poorly, waking up unrefreshed and when they arrive back at the office they feel like they’ve never left. They haven’t!
In order to have a successful work life AND a successful home life, it is imperative that employees learn to close out their day. Put a cap on their work and start setting up for tomorrow. By making that clean mental break between today and tomorrow, they are assured that their tomorrow will start better and that their tonight will be a refreshing break from work.
