Stressed About Work-Life Balance During the Holidays? Here's How to Enjoy the Season Without Worry.
The holidays are the perfect time to celebrate with loved ones, reconnect with family, and spend time away from the office to recharge. But new data from LinkedIn reveals that the latter is easier said than done. In fact, 88% of U.S. workers feel stressed during the holidays because they find it difficult to balance personal and work-related commitments.
Of course, the fact that the holidays coincide with the end of the year makes things harder for employees whose work tends to be deadline-driven. Often, there's pressure to wrap up key projects, submit certain reports, and close out accounts in advance of a new calendar year. And when you're grappling with a strict timeline, it can be difficult to take time off for the holidays, or enjoy it when you do.
If you're anxious about managing your time during the latter part of the year, here are a few things you can do to make your schedule more manageable, all the while letting yourself actually enjoy the holidays rather than resent them.
