struggling with slow period at work

Hi,

So I have changed jobs in my company and I have gone from a very busy KPI orientated role, every single day was the same volume of work and I did this role for 10 years from a young age which obviously instilled a certain work ethic in me.

I have moved departments to a more analytical role where I work on projects etc, I work very closely with colleagues in Europe , mainly France, Germany , Italy ETC, from my understanding these country's go on 'shut down' for summer with a lot of my colleagues taking there holidays in one big go 3/4 weeks at a time.

So a lot weekly meetings have been cancelled until they are back and a lot of things put on hold for this period.

My more local colleagues are loving it and embracing it and I probably should to but its just so strange for me, thankfully i'm only in the office twice a week so at least i can catch up on housework etc at home on my home days, but even that's getting tedious , am I just so institutionalised from my previous role?

It takes a bit of getting used to, but it should pick up again. I'd recommend keeping a slow season to do list throughout the year. For this year: Is there anything you can read up on? Webinars you can sign up for? Online courses you can do (Coursera has lots).
