How do you survive the day after King's Day

After King's Night and King's Day, there's a good chance you're now sitting behind your computer with trembling hands. I must say right away that it's quite hypocritical of me to tell you how to get through this day, because I took the day off to recover properly. On the other hand, I went to bed early on Friday so I could go to the office on Saturday afternoon and write this now, so that balances it out. Anyway, this is how you get through this rough day.

Good food

Essential. Are you like me and not a good breakfast eater? Tough luck, now you have to. Fresh yogurt with fruit, warm croissants, sandwiches with good toppings, anything goes, as long as you find it super tasty and it fills you up a bit. A good base is essential, otherwise you'll be wobbly all day.

Drink plenty

Your body is extremely dehydrated so it needs a lot of water. Put a carafe or bottle of water on your desk and force yourself to drink at least two of those units.

Can of cola

Don't let Jet hear this but a can of cola (light) always works wonders for me.

A quiet place

If you work in a busy and large office, you have a lot of stimuli all day long, and that's exactly what you can't handle right now. Step away from your regular workspace and take a seat in the meeting room, for example. Or maybe there's a quiet café around the corner where you can sit for a while.

Realistic planning

Don't set yourself an impossible amount of work because you won't manage it today anyway. You'd better save very complex tasks for tomorrow; focus on chores that are less brain-bending today.

Go to bed on time

Very important; go to bed on time with two paracetamols and you'll see that you'll be back to your old self tomorrow.
