Six Ways to Set Christmas Boundaries

Regardless of how many days off you have, the Christmas season is a time to switch off, properly. It’s the middle of winter, energy is low, and the Christmas break is the closest our fast-paced culture comes to hibernation.

We all need time to switch off and refuel.  Every learning and growth cycle includes a period of quiet, a period for rest and recuperation. It allows us to come back stronger, renewed, ready to go again.

So if you want 2022 to be your most effective, powerful, satisfying year yet, it starts now by setting Christmas boundaries.

Here’s are my six ways to set Christmas boundaries:

  1. Prioritise
  2. Limit Work Time
  3. Make Time for Fun
  4. Have an Escape Plan
  5. Let Go of Perfect
  6. Be Present
