I hate hearing people say that. We can't push literally everything off until January. I have no problem calling out when I think they are pushing something off that needs to be done now.

I get that frustration. I try to ask myself whether delaying actually reduces risk or just shifts discomfort. If something affects people, safety, or trust now, I feel a responsibility to address it rather than defer it.
Are they not both the same? Unless something is an emergency, putting things off until January IS taking a healthy pause. I think most, if not all of us are very burnt out by this point and our minds are already in holiday mode.

I also see your point. I think context matters. If capacity is genuinely low and nothing harmful comes from waiting, I see January as recovery, not avoidance. Burnout changes judgement more than we admit.

I hear a lot people say it in a throw a comment as I’m bad for that, I know some things can wait if you are really busy etc, but in my opinion I wouldn’t push everything until January, I would help myself but doing bits before to help future me.
