I hope you had time to relax and enjoy the holiday season.

I know for some that's a tall order, whether because of family obligations, holiday travel, or the desire to fit a lot into a one- or two-week period.

I used to be all about packing my holiday time with loads of activities as though making up for missing out during the year.

But whether it's just the natural way of things, age, or post-pandemic hangover, I've definitely slowed my roll and given myself a mix of busy and chill this year, which actually makes it feel like I've been on vacay much longer than I have.

As human beings we need downtime. But as business owners, giving ourselves permission to actually step away from our businesses can be tricky.

This is the first year in almost a decade and half that I feel pretty successful in that endeavor.

But, as a result, I'm finding it tough getting back in the swing of full steam ahead.

Perhaps, that's because nobody's making me.

Can you relate?

I've got another advanced business class starting on Monday, however, so I know the clock is ticking and there's plenty of prep work to get done this week.

And yet, everything is feeling like an epic battle and negotiation as I kick off my own back-in-office mandate.

So, here's my strategy for gliding into the thick of things with renewed energy and motivation:

• Keep It Simple with easy daily to-dos and/or weekly goals that don't require a huge amount of brain drain to spark momentum.
  ​
• Make Connections with folks I didn't get a chance to meet with over the holidays to catch-up and explore opportunities for the year ahead, which activates my mojo.
  ​
• Set the Table for a successful year by creating schedules, implementing and updating helpful automations and tools, and developing key templates, which I know future me will appreciate.

If, like me, you're struggling with reentry into business as usual this year, why not schedule a laser coaching session to help you gain clarity and motivation to kick off your best year yet?!

Until next time, remember, even a small step forward is progress!

P.S. If you missed it, before the break, I asked you What's the Good Word for 2025.
