I love this time of year – it has a taste of the crazy without being full blown frantic.
I can lull myself into a (perhaps false) sense of security that I’m on top of things. I can write my lists, prepare my budgets, get things sorted at work to reduce the last minute rush, support my team to finish the year strong, fill up my social calendar and, importantly, cheer my kids on at their end of year events.
There’s excitement in the air, a sense of productivity and calm urgency to get things done.
And this is an environment that I thrive in. I love deadlines and structure, budgets and events.
The reward at the end is a little bit of R&R, special times with family and friends, and another year to be proud of.
For me, the most important thing in my life is to do things I love with people I respect and admire, and if I can look back on the year and see that this is what I have done, then it’s a good year.
So let’s finish the year strong, achieve all that we set out to and set ourselves up for another great year ahead.
What’s your plan for the next 6 weeks?
