Do you feel like it is hard to get going in January? Like all you want to do is sit on the couch all day watching Lifetime movies or Netflix? January seems to be tailor made as a time of recovery from the hectic holidays, a time to relax and unwind. On most days, the weather is pushing you to grab a blanket and cup of hot chocolate, but the thought of another day in front of TV has you feeling guilty. The secret to being productive, while still enjoying your holiday recovery, is to take on small, easily managed chores that can be done in increments.
