How to Survive the Holidays at the Office

The holidays are already upon us. While this season can be a source of joy, it can also be one of stress. With end-of-year deadlines looming and increased social activities filling up the calendar, here’s how to keep Scrooge from appearing at the office:

• Put in your requests for time off now and don’t wait until the last minute.

• Don’t procrastinate. It’s easy to get distracted with holiday potlucks and parties, but make sure you’re staying on top of your workload.

• Don’t skimp on sleep. Making sleep a priority will keep your energy high and immune system happy.
