Recently, I celebrated the graduating seniors from Stony Brook’s College of Business during their spring convocation. It was a wonderful event that helped me suspend my “summer scaries” and focus on the accomplishments of others. The “summer scaries” are like the “Sunday scaries,” but precede summer rather than Mondays. Maybe you’re like me and you also experience the “summer scaries.” I get the “summer scaries” because I don’t like having unstructured time and unclear expectations. I’m terrified of seeing August 1 arrive with a full summer to-do list. At the same time, I want to ensure I have time to breathe, appropriately reflect on the past year, and, quite frankly, relax. So, although I still don’t know how entirely to combat the “summer scaries,” here I share some things you may want to consider as well as some strategies you may want to employ when deciding how to make the most of your summers.
The (summer) heat is on!
