In order to get to take that break though, we have to work really hard up until that point. That often means doing things well in advance of the actual deadline, which can be a difficult thing to trick yourself into doing. But if my students can manage it, they get to spend their winter break eating cookies, watching movies, and enjoying time with their families. I also want to spend my Friday after Christmas eating cookies, watching movies, and spending time with my family, so I’m writing this post a week beforehand. That way, I can virtually be in two places at once: posting this on Friday morning and also curled up on the couch with my new Christmas presents. I hope you’re doing the same today. Happy holidays!
