What is your holiday strategy?

[Karen Margrave]

Christmas and New Years are upon us. What do you do in regard to business on the holidays, and looking forward? Do you use it as a time to reflect on the past year and adjust your plan for the future, find new projects, or do you settle in and enjoy the holidays, getting back to business in a few weeks?

I usually plan a bunch of thinking time between Christmas and New Years. The office is very quiet, so it's a good time. I'm a goal motivated person, so I do New Year's resolutions, even though many see them as a cliche. Sometimes I over commit, but they are still useful.

I really need to do a better job of taking a mental vacation. Not now, though ; )
