Let’s face it, as exciting as the end of the year is, sometimes it can feel like a real drag. Not necessarily because of the holidays, but more so because, despite all the pomp and circumstance of the over-the-top festivities, there’s still plenty of work tasks to complete before the year’s end.
Final budget proposals, lingering client deliverables, the dreaded end-of-year performance review—it’s all such a slog, and to be honest, we’re better off just pushing it to next year. The emails will still be there, so why not just circle back when everyone finally returns to the office in the new year?

But there’s an art to the circle back. It’s not just some tool you can employ willy-nilly. It requires deft and stealthy deployment so that it feels like a mutual agreement between parties instead of just an admission that you’re mentally somewhere sipping your fourth glass of spiked eggnog.
Think of it like a subtle nudge that says, “We could totally spend the rest of the week working on this Valentine’s Day marketing campaign or we could go grab lunch at Panera and talk about it when we get back.” See, subtle.
