Are you planning on working any over the holiday break? I will be doing so because this is a time of the year that’s quiet for me and allows me to get a jump on the new year. What about you? Staying away from work or doing a bit along the way?

I plan on taking full advantage of the break and not working one bit. Notifications will be off and I will not be reachable unless it’s an emergency.

Ah yea then that means no rest for the wicked. How was working on that campaign gone?

I'm technically off, but I don't know, I might do a little bit of work if I'm feeling it. I don't think I'll be working any late nights or anything, but I may make some notes and outlines and see how it goes. If I get ideas sometimes it's good to just get them down before I forget them, so there's always that.

This is a good idea. Keep the mind open and flowing.

I am unfortunately working right now. I am trying to rush through it so I can take the rest of the holiday off. I’d like to spend it with my family, away from a laptop!

I will be working this week for sure. It’s so quiet that I want to use the time to knock out a few tasks.

Yep I am getting some work done this week and next. I plan to take the week after next off so I am working so that I don't get behind on anything. The flights home this time of year were ridiculous so I decided to wait to go home and work in the meantime.

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach
