Ted Chiang explains why your real estate performance in January depends on the work you do in December. Consistent effort through the fourth quarter sets you up for strong first-quarter results.
One of my best months every year was December, and I think it's because I treated every month like it was the same month. I would show up and do the work regardless of the time of year. Doing the work in the fourth quarter, specifically November and December, that's going to set you up for a monumental Q one of the following year. So whatever it takes, take the days off for the holidays, but don't take weeks or even months off around the holidays.
