I'd like to take a break from my panicked dry-heaving about all the stuff I still haven't done on my holiday to do list — including the eight loaves of my famous cranberry, orange, walnut bread that aren't going to bake and send themselves — to share something.
Tomorrow, we're throwing our first-ever completely virtual company holiday party.
How is it the end of the year already? How did this happen?
I'm going to save all of my usual annual reflections for the upcoming New Year's issue, but for now I'll just say that I'm floored. The year the world stood still is finally coming to a close.
Of course, knowing our luck, something like this might happen:
But, until December 32nd, here's what I'm going to do:
- Focus like a laser on only the tasks and projects that will really make a difference going into these last couple of weeks.
- Give myself the grace to set aside other "nice to have" tasks and projects until the New Year, because the world will not end if they wait.
- Prepare Pumpkin for the arrival of her old snuggle pal, Nugget — my little weirdo puppy who will be joining the Moorehead household in January.
- Send out my Christmas cards before Groundhog Day 2021. (This would be a huge win.)
It's all too easy to get consumed by the annual end-of-year stress rollercoaster, where we obsess over all we haven't done instead of reflecting on how much we've been able to accomplish. Tonight, I urge you to take a moment and slow down. And breathe.
Then, make your own list.
Fill it only with things that really count. Cut out all of the distraction and noise. Give yourself permission to punt projects and tasks so you can stay on track with the objectives that will genuinely make the most difference in this final countdown. I guarantee everything in front of you right now in this moment does not fall into that category.
Oh, and uh, if any of you want to add "Bake bread loaves for Liz" to your list, I wouldn't complain.
Now, here's THE LATEST.
