Keeping up during the holidays

The holiday season is just around the corner, and before you know it 2019 will be here. November is notoriously the time of year when the holiday stress starts to hit, both at home and at work. Here are some tips to conquer that pile of responsibilities during the busiest time of year:

• Make to-do lists for both work and personal/family time.

• Give your schedule to colleagues and ask for theirs so you can plan collaborative projects in advance.

• Check emails periodically so you don’t fall behind, but don’t let work be a burden at the same time.
