You know how every year, as government agencies approach the end of the financial cycle, we rush to close off reports, tidy loose ends, and get the numbers lined up before the cut-off?
We prepare briefing notes, ministerial updates, budget forecasts, end-of-year performance papers.
But we rarely prepare ourselves to transition into downtime.
It’s almost like we assume rest will somehow squeeze itself into the calendar between end-of-year events, office lunches, staff farewells - and last minute emergencies.
But rest does NOT automatically appear!
For many public sector leaders, the holiday period is actually the busiest time of emotional labour:
Family commitments, social expectations, and carrying the responsibility of keeping things steady - “just in case something happens”.
So here’s my question for you today:
What would it look like to apply the same intentional planning you give to your work… to the break your mind and body actually need?
In this episode, I share 3 questions to help you take stock.
Be honest with yourself. And courageous.
Your future self will thank you for it!
