It can feel intimidating to return to an in-office routine after working remotely for an extended period of time. But there are steps you can take to make the transition back to the office a smooth one.??

Redesign your routine. This means rethinking every component of your schedule. If this feels overwhelming, don't fret. Start by imagining an ideal workday. Figure out when you need to be at your desk and work backwards from there. When would you need to wake up? When would you eat each meal? When would you exercise? Writing down your dream routine is the first step toward making it a reality. And think of it as an experiment; if you find your redesigned schedule doesn't work for you, change it.?

Get the right gear. As you organize the new flow of your day, you’ll want to think through what you’ll need for working away from home. This might involve investing in some new work clothes, gear for your commute (like a work bag or rain boots), and anything you might need for your desk in the office. Write a “back-to-the-office” checklist to make sure you have everything you need, and add to it as you get reacclimated.?

Update your tech. To avoid a stressful start, do a little research. What do you need to know to set up your computer once you arrive? Are you able to access the internet? Often, the most straightforward way to get this kind of information—and avoid embarrassing hiccups—is to simply ask IT.
