It’s a scene straight out of a holiday movie: A family travels to an idyllic farm to cut down their own Christmas tree and spends the day walking the rows, making wreaths and sipping hot cocoa. At some of the 15,000 Christmas tree farms across the United States, this picture-perfect scene isn’t fiction. Many farmers forgo the wholesale market by welcoming visitors to purchase fresh trees—one of some 25 million sold in the U.S. every year.

From OK Doomer : “These days, the phrase ‘mental health’ refers to your ability to engage in surface acting. It has very little to do with your actual emotions or sense of wellness. It has everything to do with how well you can continue fitting in with a group and how much you can contribute to the economy. All of this surface acting has devastating consequences for our mental health.

A couple of Thanksgivings ago, DJ and entrepreneur Steve Aoki invited 30 people to his house for dinner. But he had a surprise in store for his guests. When 10 p.m. rolled around, Aoki announced, “OK, we’re all done with dinner! Everyone’s going to go do the cold plunge!” A cold plunge is the act of submerging your body in cold water; it’s said to have certain benefits for both mental and physical health, and Aoki was using his platform to turn it into a trend.

When “authentic” was crowned the 2023 word of the year by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I let out a whoop. The moment felt too spot-on to celebrate with anything less than a rowdy response. This was also the year that authenticity helped women come out on top. This is not the message we typically receive. Instead, to get ahead in life (in business, in finance, in the school dropoff line), women have been given the message, through criticism and consequences, that we can’t

About a year before I bought the Peter Mayer ad agency, I went to a client meeting with the then-CEO. As we entered the conference room, three of our clients stood up to greet us. I plugged in my laptop and all eyes turned to the screen. I was the main presenter and, as is so often the case, the only woman in the room. We had some tough but interesting and productive conversations about moving their faltering brand forward.

Think about the last time you told someone you had a not-so-great workday. What were some other words you would use to describe you and your team that day—maybe “unproductive”? If your less-than-stellar moments at work come down to everyone not quite getting enough done, you’re in need of productivity goals. These are goals you set to increase the value you create during any constant unit of time.
