If you’re hurtling toward Christmas in a hectic hot mess, here’s the good news:That’s fine. It’s what November is for.If things are STILL chaotic in February, we might have issues. Our great mate and friend of the show Digby Scott writes an annual “Christmas won’t fix it” newsletter. In the spirit of nuanced debate for which social media is revered, The Fink Tank offers this response:He’s wrong.Christmas WILL fix it.  Life and work come in cycles. There's an end-of-year frenzy, then we chill out for a while. Feeling frazzled isn't ideal, but Col thinks it might be a sign your business is... businessing.Here are two Fink Tank approved suggestions for the end-of-year rush:1. Suck it up for a couple more weeks then enjoy your break.2. Cross some things off your to-do list without doing them.And yes, Digby's right about avoiding toxic cycles and the dangers of running on empty. You can read his excellent newsletter here (and follow him if you don’t already) https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/christmas-wont-fix-digby-scott-tuxpc/We’ll leave you with this quote, which I stole from his newsletter:"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." - Anne Lamott
