Don’t just shop the sales. Do one thing that connects you to the spirit of the holiday. Read the history of your own job. Thank a retail worker. Or simply sit outside and notice the quiet.
If you’re a boss, give your team a real break. Send them home early on Friday. Don’t schedule that Monday meeting. Trust me, the work will still be there on Tuesday.
If you’re a worker, unplug without apology. No one ever said on their deathbed, “I wish I’d answered more emails.”
