This time of year is extra busy – understatement of the week, right?
You not only have to deal with the regular stress of the holidays, but also the added strain of year-end campaigns at your organization.
Even if you have nothing to do with fundraising at your organization, I thought we could all benefit from some tips on how to relieve some of that extra stress that crops up during this time of year.
I compiled a list of articles below, but here are a few tips that seemed to show up in most often, and while you have probably heard them all before, it’s worth being reminded to:
Move around
Get enough sleep
Stay organized/have a to-do list
Treat yourself
Take a moment and breathe
