The One Thing You Must Stop Doing This December: A Poem for Holiday Overwhelm

In December we do a little work

And anticipate a lot of pleasure

And December is the one month of the year

Where I always change what I measure



From January through November

I'm a big believer

In shooting for the stars

(Yes, I'm an overachiever)



But with December's change in energy

It seems to make sense

To adjust my expectations

And stop swinging for every fence



So I pick several areas

In work and in life

To lower my standards

(And lower my strife)



I stop measuring my performance

(What I do and how well I do it)

And take credit for my practice

(That I simply got through it)



In January we can all resume

Working hard, achieving more

We'll go back to our performance standards

And make them even higher than before



But to make your end of 2014

A little easier to get through

Simply give yourself practice credit

For doing what you do!
