My Tip of the Week: How Your PTO Can Escape the Guilt Trap

You swing right into the new year and build on your successes from the fall. Or, and I think this is pretty common, you have a hard time recapturing that spirit and building momentum. The feeling is more like "back to the old grind" than "let's get rolling."
