You need to tackle the 'fear of the return' head on

You’ve been bought a little time. But for an accident of the calendar that occurs once every few years, today would be The Worst Day Ever, writes Colm O’Regan. 

As it stands, this Monday is a slim buffer between you and the abyss. Use it wisely. Some people might want to “make the most of today”.

This is short-sighted because while you’re out cliff-diving or IronManning or some other active nonsense, the unwanted thought that you are going back to work tomorrow will worm its way to the front of your brain.
