The least productive month

I just wanted to write this post so that it will serve as a reminder for the future me — Never try to get anything done in December.

I don't know what it is about this month, but things just don’t seem to happen for me. Maybe it’s the cold weather, It’s tough to get up early and start working when it feels so comfy inside your blanket.

Maybe it’s the shorter days. Here in Mumbai, the sun doesn’t come up till 7 AM on some days. You can’t possibly expect me to be productive when it is so dark outside.

And of course, it’s the holidays. I haven’t even gotten over the Diwali vacations yet, and it will be Christmas and New Years' in a few weeks. My mind just refuses to get out of vacation mode just for this little period.

And it’s the end of the year after all. At the beginning of the year, we all had hope, and aspirations. We had goals and resolutions that we thought we would work hard to attain. And we start off well. But then one of two things happen. You either go through with it and attain your goals, in which case you want to chill out in December since you deserved it.

Or you might be like me, who failed each and every resolution you set in 2020. And you just want this year to be over so that you can start fresh on January 1.

In conclusion, December sucks.
