Come December, come frenzy. Businesses scramble to close financial year targets, establishments hurry to tick mark all the Xmas-y activities and me a working mother, remote worker, corporate slave tries to juggle it all alongside the constant pressure to hustle max. Phew, sounds heavy right, well it is mate. And it is real.
December to me is like one endless gigantic day, 744 hours of adrenaline rush, 44,640 hours of back to back hustling. It’s like the longest marathon of my life, albeit it occurs every year like an inter-galectic phenomenon. Can I avoid it? No. Can I embrace it? Yes. Can I play it out differently? Maybe.
What I equate this craze is the mad frenzy which an unorganised, clutter-loving, last moment champion lives with all through their lives. Everyday is a mad rush, a thrill of living on the edge and racing past milestones at the eleventh hour. Coffee in one hand, one hand on the steering wheel, speaking through the wireless while one foot is on the gas – a vivid picture of definitely how life shouldn’t be conducted on daily basis.
Anyways back to my end goal for this month long, not so festive cheer is downtime. No roles, routines, rules attached. So with my eyes on the prize of calmer days ahead, signing off this task from my to-do list of December!
