It’s mid-week of Winter Break for NY schools, and time again to balance work and play in the best possible way. And to help us along, there are options galore: music camps, sports camps, arts & crafts classes, week-long “party” camp… to these I say “no thanks.”
Winter Break offers quality time with the kids that you’ll never have again. Time to watch them as they grow beautifully, articulate perfectly, wrestle with the puppy and enjoy playtime and books.
It’s a time to just “be.”
For many of us, it’s also full-speed-ahead in business. At Abelson Group, we worked on President’s Day. With many of our clients conducting business globally, we need to be always-on. And our flex-work model offers employees the choice of working in the office or at home.
If given this choice, how do you balance kids and work during Winter Break? You just do it. We know many of our clients and colleagues face the same challenges. Our advice to them: don’t miss these precious times. Work and play. Just do it!
