December will bring the usual Christmas slowdown

December arrives tomorrow, and as the Christmas lights go up in people's homes and offices, so thoughts naturally turn towards the festive season. And despite, many good intentions, people begin to switch off from work. (Except for those in retail, of course.)

December has always been a quiet time for getting things done in the office. Any project that relies on as much work being done in December as in, say November, will fail. It is a disappointing fact of life.

Even if you can get through the first week or two with steely determination to cary on regardless, then by the third week - for example, this year the week starting 20 December - you will find yourself weighed down by the lack of enthusiasm for work shown by everyone else.

You might as well give up fighting and enjoy the Christmas period just like everybody else.
