October Closure
Say Leadership calls on everyone to use October as a chance to get focused on all those goals we said we would get done this year. Any loops you still have open at this point need to be refocused or they just ain’t gonna get done:
“So here we are in October, the month that begs for closure in whatever you had hoped to achieve in the year, for let‚Äôs face it: November and December are mostly about the holidays to come, that seemingly relentless line up of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve and New Years Day. School breaks, holiday parties, gift shopping and a rapid succession of other schedule changes annihilate the predictability of your routine. It‚Äôs supposed to be joyful, but somehow it becomes a cruel gauntlet that wreaks havoc on any sense of normality you tried to get to until this calendar parade started colliding with your psyche, stressing you out. No wonder most New Year‚Äôs resolutions are rooted in nothing more but emotional turmoil.”
