Christmas Eve - Got Your List Of Things You Want?
Christmas eve is upon us!
It’s almost Christmas but what’s on your list of wants?
What matters most to you in this moment?
Go do that!
And I’m not necessarily talking material things.
I’m talking about what are the things that are most valuable to you this holiday season?
Is it family time? Is it learning a new skill? Is it seeing your kids brighten as Santa gets his bags ready? Is it the traditions, the games, the yearly movie you watch with the family?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Being productive is a personal and subjective experience. It is 100% dependent on what you give value to. If being productive is spending time with family doing the most mundane things, then go do that!
When you have responsibilities, family involvement and basically anyone else’s opinion coming into your head, recognize that they have their priorities and you have yours. Whatever the compromise is that you figure out with these people, you have to figure out for yourself if you’ll be happy.
If you’re traveling to visit family and find yourself sitting at the dinner table while your parents cook and you’re simply catching up and enjoying each others’ presence, if that’s what is most important to you - that’s productive time.
That’s valuable time.
The main thing though, is that people have the time and right headspace to sit down with themselves to establish that that is in fact the most important thing to them.
Make sure to ask yourself what matters most. What do you prioritize or value?
For me this season, here are my most important priorities:
Spend time with wife, friends and family
Clean the home
Organize my office space
Finish learning my Notion template
Finish my webinar lecture for work
If I accomplish these 5 things over the next couple of days to wrap up the 2023 year, I’ll be so happy!
Anyways, hoping you get to achieve your productivity goals this winter break! Hoping you get to do what’s most important in your life at this time. Hoping you get to start the new year revitalized, refreshed, relaxed and ready for another 12 months of productivity!
