The Christmas holiday period is fast approaching, and for many of us studying or immersed in research this provides the welcome opportunity for some well-deserved rest! For some though this break in the academic year does not necessarily equal ‘time off’. How do we manage our research during this time away from timetabled study or teaching? Are these breaks a time for rest or writing? If we do rest, how do we avoid losing momentum? We’d love to hear from you with your experiences and/ or tips on managing the research-rest balance during the festive period!
