It can also lead to irritability which can interfere with your social interactions, both personally and professionally. While you may not be able to totally slow down the hustle and bustle of the holidays, you can protect yourself from becoming fatigued to the point of impairment.

Here are 4 ways to get through the holidays in one piece.

You can still enjoy the moments that matter even if you aren’t there for every minute.
