This is the third year in a row I'm embracing a "no-plans November" where I intentionally try to keep our plans to a minimum. After a busy month of October, I love carving out several weeks to slow down and allow for spontaneity. We have very little on the calendar and it feels great :)
This approach is particularly helpful this year as I'm project managing a high profile event for work and anticipate a bigger workload for the next two weeks. I am, however, looking forward to taking ~6 weeks off between Thanksgiving and New Year's. I'm still figuring out what I want that stretch of time to look like, but ultimately hope it's personally restorative and domestically productive!
