Keeping a Timetable
In-spite of many misconceptions, keeping a rhythm during the holidays is important: When you go from a 60-hour week to nothing, the organism is turned upside down, and this state of extreme nonchalance will fatigue it. Establishing a small schedule is thus effective, to avoid any stress related to the organization of vacations. This also avoids cogitations of any kind, which tend to jostle in our mind as soon as, full of free time takes shape.
