If my baby was due during the holidays, here's exactly what I'd do differently with my parental leave, looking back π
I'd lock in my open enrollment choices instead of assuming they wouldn't matter this time of year. I'd actually ask how holiday closures affect my parental leave timeline, not just assume the office being closed helps. I'd find out ahead of time whether unused time off needed to be used before or after my leave started, and I'd map out every source of income before the season got busy and I stopped paying attention.
Waiting until the new year to sort any of this out cost people more than they realize, way more often than you'd think π¬
Let's map out your parental leave now, while there's still time to actually use what you find. Comment TRAINING π and we'll send you the free training.
