It feels good to be in the home stretch of a very challenging year. I have some loose ends to tie up for a client and after that’s finished I will spend the last few weeks of the year relaxing and gearing up for a successful 2017.
For months I’ve been looking forward to spending my holiday vacation tackling personal design projects and working on new features for my blog. That’s my idea of fun. Around mid-October, I remember looking at my calendar and feeling defeated because it was beginning to look like I would have to work non-stop on client work during the holiday season.
I knew there had to be a way to finish my client projects and still have time to unwind during the holiday season. I created a schedule that required me to bump up three deadlines and extend my workdays by a few hours. It was a challenging commitment, but I stuck to the plan and it paid off. It will feel good to wrap up my client work this week and enjoy the reward of having the rest of the year to relax and work on personal projects. And eat way too many holiday cookies.
