Work Less, Sleigh Hard: A Professional’s Handbook for Holiday Zen EP78


Listen Later

It’s time, Podsters!  December is upon us and this week’s episode if exactly what you need to finish the year, whatever way you choose.  Do you want to finish strong? Great.  Do you prefer to ease up and enjoy all the joy which comes with the holiday season? Also great.

Here’s the thing Podsters: we are all about action over here at Unmute Yourself the Podcast and this week I’m making the case for inaction.  That’s right.  Deferring action.  Deciding how you want to spend the next 30 or so days, and finishing the year soft, sane, and slow.

Why the pivot?  This past weekend, many of my friends slowed down to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday. We did not get on a plane to cram in one more work trip, we did not rise early and grind all day and we did not “FINISH STRONG”.  Instead, we took time to enjoy everything the start of our holiday season has to offer.  For me, that meant a significant amount of time walking on the beach, too much time on the couch and lazy afternoons doing nothing.

And here's what I noticed.  I witnessed a big change in how those around me were showing up.  I saw my friends become more vibrant and live healthier by deliberately slowing down.  I could hear it in their voice and see it on their faces.  And I saw myself revel in taking it slow which is something I rarely do.

I get it, Podsters: It’s go time.  I know that December is the Super Bowl of business.  Wrapping up contracts, planning to “hit the ground running in January, financial close outs – all the things.

So, I'm proposing three things to end your year with ease.

  1. Reflect on 2024: What do you want more, less, or the same? Start living that way now and you’ll finish the year with YOUR meaning of strong.

  2. Block some time the first two weeks of January for focused business planning.

  3. Embrace the power of "no." No overcommitting, no overextending or a simple, “no thank you.”

  4. Life isn't meant to be a constant grind and we finish the year however we choose to do so.

    So, Podsters, my wish for you is to end the year strong, on your terms, and with EASE.
