Work ahead
Plan ahead to cut yourself some slack upon your arrival. To stay on schedule and keep from piling on to your holiday time and energy, have your ride from the airport pre-booked and itinerary fully set. If you're returning to work, make sure you've started ahead on whatever tasks are expected of you. Even putting aside 15 minutes per day to work ahead during your trip can cut you hours of slack when you first get home.
