February 29th came and went. What did you do with the extra day? I think that with how many "holidays" we observe, the 29th should be a mandatory day off. Why spend the extra day working?!!
Here are some things you can do with your extra time:
1. Sleep.
2. Reflect
3. See if your contracts have the clauses I've recommended.
4. Assess if your employee handbook needs updating.
5. Sit down and listen to someone who needs an open ear.
Hopefully, you did something you enjoy! If not, you have 4 years to prepare for the next one.
