It’s early December. Are you sitting on the couch with your family watching holiday movies, but mentally re-writing emails in your head?

If so, you are stuck in the "Gray Zone"; that exhausting place where you aren't fully working, but you're definitely not resting.

In this episode, Jennifer Swineford tackles the "December Overreach"—the tendency for business owners to try and cram 3 months of work (like launching a new program or podcast) into the busiest 3 weeks of the year.

You’ll learn how to perform a "Triage" on your to-do list, sorting your projects into three buckets so you can identify exactly what needs to happen now, and what needs to be pushed to next year.

This is your permission slip to stop trying to fit everything into the last bit of 2025 and start the holidays with peace, not panic.

In this episode, you will learn:

✅ Why being physically present but mentally absent is the fastest path to burnout.

✅ Why trying to launch something "new" for Jan 1st is usually a strategic mistake.

✅ The "Watermelon in a Mug" Analogy: A reality check on your capacity during the holidays.

✅ How to sort your list into Must-Dos, Loop-Closers, and Deferrals.

✅ Why the best gift you can give your business for 2026 is a rested leader.

✨ Feeling overwhelmed by your year-end to-do list?
