Between Christmas and New Years sits a beautiful 7-day period.
(If you want to get technical, it just depends on what day you include in your counting. The point isn’t the math here.)
During this period of time, many businesses are still open. Many people still report to work.
But, many businesses also run skeleton crews. Many people go on vacation or don’t work at all.
🤫 Factories run a little quieter.
🤫 Offices run a little quieter.
🤫 Homes run a little quieter.
Schools are closed. Universities are closed.
There’s a beautiful exhale of sorts.
If you need to catch up on some work and projects, you can often focus better and knock things out quicker because so many people are gone.
If you need to reconnect with friends and family, you often have more margin to relax and spend time together.
If you need time to reflect and re-evaluate where things are at in your life, you often have space to do that.
Maybe you need all three of those things. Maybe you need something else entirely.
Take advantage of this quiet week and do what you need to do.
The one thing I can tell you for certain is that it goes by quickly.
Carpe diem! Enjoy!
