Not much time left this year. Let's get it done before the budget runs out!Last week began the rush to get everything wrapped up before the Christmas break. Doesn't it seem like everyone with the exception of health care workers and convenience store clerks get Christmas and New Years off? The email grows so quiet it feels like not a lot goes on during the run up to Christmas Eve and the drift to New Years Day. Over here in magazine world, we're still a bit busy. Printers still print. And don't forget postal workers who sort the pallets and orders and deliver the magazines to subscribers' homes. Then there's the shippers who pick up those pallets, and the IT folk who make sure the servers are running and posting to the site and social and taking subscription orders, and the merchandisers who put up the magazines in the stores and the other clerks who ring them up for you when you buy them.Meanwhile, print orders are due, and upper management still wants some explanations for how the year turned out and predictions for how the New Year will be. Got that deck prepped and ready?So, yeah, there's still a lot going on this time of year, even if some of us (Hey, who's "us"?) aren't so busy.So, are you going to make it? The final deadline for the year is approaching at light speed...
