The Annie Awards is always an exciting time of year. We work so hard throughout the year to breathe new life into the annual event with new logo design, new website skin, new program book design and all the little things along the way. The actual event is a celebration of a job well done! We work with very talented people in the public relations field, creative writers, savvy developers and of course the funny comedians who draw cartoons. The Annie Award is animation’s highest honor and we’re very proud to be part of this night celebrating such extraordinary individuals.

The Balancing Act
It’s that time of year again, where the holidays consume more of your time than daily life. Even work takes a backseat to the holiday office party or the holiday gift exchange. It’s impossible to get all your work done and feel comfortable to enjoy the actual holiday time. Luckily we dug up some helpful advice from a previous blog post By Robin Madell US News: On Careers blog.
4 Ways to Find Work-Life Balance During the Holidays
1. Schedule a walking meeting. Exercise is a proven stress buster, yet it’s often the first thing to go during the holiday season, edged out by festivities and obligations. Maren Kate Donovan, CEO of Zirtual, notes that if you’re feeling stressed from the pressures, it’s a fair assumption that many of your clients and colleagues will be in the same boat.
2. Think of alternatives to travel. While many people equate the holidays with cross-country flights packed like sardines, the rigmarole of holiday travel often infuses us with the spirit of bah humbug. While many people feel they have to travel during the holidays to get together with extended family they don’t often see, the holidays may be better spent limiting travel or calling it off completely, according to author April Masini.
3. Don’t power through it. Perfectionist personalities may fall back on all-or-nothing thinking during the holidays, which transforms potentially fun times into misery. With so much to do in only a few short weeks (or sometimes days), you’ll have to make decisions about which priorities really matter and what you need to let go.
4. Say “no” more often. In the spirit of the holidays and giving back to others, it can be even more difficult than usual to decline requests. But Charlie Harary, professor of management and entrepreneurship at Yeshiva University’s Syms School of Business in New York, notes that everything you take on when you’re too busy at this time of year has a cost.
