Your task for the first day of the last month of the year is to make sure you're connected. Yes, if you look up from your desk and realize you haven't checked in with the five most important people in your life in the last couple of months, then you have your work cut out for you. Put aside those spreadsheets and call them up -- yes, all five of them. Indeed, it takes time out of your day. And yes, you could spend that time working instead of chatting. But having a solid social network is one of the best ways to maintain your strength through thick and thin. Something to think about this holiday season, no? On the 4th and 5th, you may already see some unexpected benefits cropping up in your work. On the 9th, creativity is key for you. By the 13th and 14th, you see a way to make things better. Implement said way to make things better ASAP! On the 19th, let go of something old and try something new. Whether it's a pie-baking method or an approach to disagreements with your sweetie, the results could prove very interesting. Prepare yourself for success on the 23rd. On the 25th and 26th, everything is already on its way, so just sit back and let it happen. By the 31st, you can really take credit for all of the good things you've done this year. Cheers to that!
