That strange period between Christmas and New Year always makes work feel different. Some people are fully offline, others are slowly checking emails, and a few are quietly planning their next move. I see more reflection than action right now. I love the lull of this time

That's true, it is a time of reflection. Perhaps it's hardwired into us from ancient times, thinking about how the solstice has just happened and the days will now be getting longer and we need to be prepared for the coming year. I like the idea of people quietly planning their next move. This is the time for it.

I feel this too. I actually enjoy the quiet reflection. It feels like a pause where I can think clearly without constant urgency. I find this is when I reset priorities and quietly decide what I want next.

It really is such a weird time at work. I am still working a little but most of my colleagues are not. I am ready for the New Year and for a normal schedule.

I am in the same in between space. I am checking emails lightly but not pushing anything forward. Part of me enjoys the slower rhythm, but I am also craving the structure that comes with a proper restart.

I always find it such a weird time, but in my opinion I really like it as I feel like I can chill and I have nothing to do or no where to go and it’s a week of doing whatever I want 🤣

Isn't it annoying how no one ever notices all the hard work you put into your research? The countless hours you spend in the lab, library, or curled up on your couch researching—all of that dissolves into what can feel like obscurity.
