And now we begin the second half of the holiday season: the trek from Christmas Day to the New Year. If you listened to my podcast, you know that Christmas was a little strange this year because my family had basically had our Christmas a couple of weeks ago, due to weather, lockdown and other concerns. With a couple of things popping up earlier in the week, it turned out to be a good thing that we had all the holiday duties out of the way, and that I was off work for the week. It gave us a chance to get things in order, without the added pressure of working towards a deadline of when we’d have people in, etc.
I’ve never been the huge New Year’s Eve-kinda guy. In fact, I think I have left the house to see in the New Year exactly three times in my entire life. I tend to enjoy doing some writing as the New Year comes in, as a way of starting off the new year on the right foot.
With the week between Christmas and New Year’s, I am hoping to get several major projects that have been on my To Do list for quite a while. I figure instead of breaking all these big projects down into small chunks and end up trying to do 10 chunks – each from a different project and/or small stuff – and not feeling like I got anything done, I am instead just going to concentrate on one project and get it done, as close as to once and for all as I can.
Wish me luck.
