Pro?Tips?to Master 'Feierabend' This Summer

1.?Commit to a Daily Ritual

Even though Switzerland takes a slower pace in the summer, most of us won’t fully take on weeks-long vacation. If you fall in this category, you might still choose to work on some projects or tasks.?

Make sure to define your work hours and honour them. Once the workday ends, disconnect completely.

For example, when work is done, turn off your work phone and email notifications. Allow yourself to be fully present in your personal time without distractions.

2. Engage in Nature

To truly experience ‘Feierabend’, you need to step outside your working zone. Take advantage of the Swiss outdoors this summer. Spend time hiking, swimming, or just sitting in a park. Nature has a wonderful way of helping us unwind and recharge.

3. Pursue a Hobby

Dedicate time to something you love.?Try?cooking, painting, gardening, or reading. Engaging in hobbies helps shift your focus and brings joy.?This not only enriches your 'Feierabend' but also allows you to appreciate life beyond your?work.

4. Reconnect with People

Plan regular meetups with family and friends. When you share experiences and laughter with loved ones, you feel more relaxed and feel rejuvenated.

Switzerland in its slow summer is?magical.

Allow this season to bring you closer?to 'Feierabend'.? Prioritise?your wellbeing as you teach yourself to savor each moment. This will create a ripple effect that sets?you?up for a future filled with success and contentment.

I wish you a meaningful?summer!

As you enjoy the beautiful Swiss scenery, make 'Feierabend' a part of your routine.? Soon enough, it will become part of your everyday.
