It's a slow time of year at work for me. Thanks, holidays! While I'm appreciating the time to relax a bit, I've caught up on my back log of everything that needed to be done. My execs are all on PTO for the next 2 weeks so work coming in will be light. I plan on using some of my remaining sick time and taking it easy, but I not the type of person who can kill the hours I am on the clock and do nothing. I've got some LinkedIn learnings saved to go through. But what else can I do? Any suggestions?

LinkedIn learning is a great way to pass the time. Could you take advantage of the slow time to start prepping the calendar for January and February if you haven't already? That obviously isn't all that easy without getting any input from your exec for two weeks, but that's probably what I'd do if it was me. I'd want to have as much mapped out for when they return so all I'd have to do is present options, (hopefully) get the greenlight on everything and get the calendar locked down ASAP. That's always a great way to start the year.

Thanks! I've already got the calendar set for January and February. Between one leader at conferences and filming for a documentary, and another involved in a lot of internal calls for our company cycle, it's been locked for a while. I probably could work on a better strategy for recurring internal calls though and try and get them on a better cadence where they arent all over the place.

I am not going to lie, I am super jealous. This seems to be one of our busiest times but there are a lot of people out of the office so that is part of it. I always look for things to organize when I am slow or bored haha.

I get that! For me the busy time comes the first week of January when they all come back. I'll unfortunately also be working at an off-site for 12+ hour days so I should take advantage of this now because I know I'll be crying later 😂. I'd do some organizing but because it's a slow time I can work remote for 2 weeks and I'm out of state at my parents.
