January Sucks. So Does September.
It’s official. No one really wants to go back to work in January.
I spend my days talking to people. I am a coach. That is what I get paid to do. A funny thing happens when you spend your days talking to people, you notice trends.
Here’s a trend that I can’t help but notice, January sucks. Everyone I talk to is in a funk. They are re-thinking their career. They feel unmotivated. They are pondering early retirement. Do you know what will happen by the end of the week? Most people will feel better and that will be fine. There is no big hidden issue, you don’t need to change your job – January sucks.
Do you know what else I’ve noticed? The exact same thing happens in September. It gets better too once you get back into the swing of things.
So what? Just remember that in January and September you will feel unmotivated and then go on to remember that you will also feel better.
