It’s the busiest time of the month for me, trying to get organised and wrap a lot of things up before the year ends. Does anyone have any strategies or advice for dealing with the December mayhem? As I’m sure I’m not the only one trying to juggle a million and 1 things😅

I'm just trying to keep my head down and work away and not get distracted. I have a lot of personal stuff I need to get squared away before Christmas, I'm way behind in my shopping. It's just a matter of not thinking of any of that while I plow ahead with tasks at work.

I feel the same, it’s a lot on your plate at this time of year, hope your doing okay 😊

It is the busiest time of the month/year for us as well. I feel like part of the reason it is so busy is because everyone takes time off this time of year. We are shorter staffed so that makes things more challenging.

Yes that’s the same at my place, everyone using up holiday too, so it’s even more of a mad rush.

This time of year always turns my desk into organised chaos as well. I try to block small protected pockets of time for deep work because it is the only way anything moves. December feels like a race that nobody admitted we were running.

I think my desk will always be an organised chaos, don’t think it will ever look tidy😅 I feel you.
