Work From Home Wednesday - Business on Christmas Eve

🎄 WFH Wednesday: Christmas Eve Edition

How to Handle Your Creative Business the Day Before Christmas

Christmas Eve isn’t a “push harder” day—it’s a protect-your-energy + close-the-loop day. The goal is to keep your business steady without stealing time from the moments that matter most.

🧵 What to Focus on (and What to Let Go)

✅ 1. Finish, Don’t Start

Today is about completion, not creation.

Do this:

• Ship any already-sold orders
• Send final customer messages
• Close open support tickets
• Post a simple “holiday hours” update

Skip this:

• New product launches
• Big content creation
• Major strategy decisions

If it can’t be wrapped up in 30–60 minutes, it belongs in next week.

🎁 2. Set Clear Holiday Boundaries (Once)

Creators often feel guilty stepping away. Don’t.

Post one clear message across your shop + socials:

• Holiday hours
• When messages will be answered
• When shipping resumes

Then stop repeating yourself.

✨ Clear boundaries = fewer interruptions + happier customers.

🖥️ 3. Do One Tiny “Future You” Favor

Choose one low-effort task that makes January easier:

• Draft a New Year announcement
• Schedule your first January post
• Jot down 3 goals for Q1

Set a timer. When it ends, you’re done.

🫖 4. Close the Laptop Earlier Than Feels “Responsible”

Your creativity is a renewable resource—but only if you rest it.

Christmas Eve productivity looks like:

• A shorter workday
• A clean stopping point
• Permission to enjoy the moment

Your business will still be there tomorrow.
 This version of today won’t.

💚 A Gentle Reminder

You didn’t build your creative business to be chained to it— you built it to support a life you love.

Today, protect that life.

🌿 Create, sell, and rest—your business should support all three.

Always, peddl💚
