We have put together someHelpful Advice

from the Pharmapod Team To you

to help you survive the madness!

Heading for after work drinks tonight?

• PACE YOURSELFTrying to drink the bar dry is not necessary, they have more, and it’s certainly not clever

• KEEP HOLD OF YOUR POSSESSIONSMind your money, purses, phones and wallets. Waking up on Saturday wondering if they have been lost or stolen is not fun

• BE NICE TO BAR STAFF

They want to serve you as quickly as possible so be nice, no clicking fingers, shouting, or distraction techniques.

Learn to say noChances are, you’re inbox is full of holiday invitations and to do lists.Between the office party, family commitments, and buying gifts, you can be stretched too thin. . .

Packing your calendar with obligations means sacrificing time usually spent on other important activities: sleep, eating well and exercise—important stress relievers—could be the first to go

What’s the answer?Get ready to say no to some things. Prioritise tasks, decline some invitations, and schedule time to do holiday activities you enjoy, instead of just those you feel you have to do.
