The working-weary may sit back this week and enjoy peace and quite inside their four-walled office.
But don't let the quiet fool you.
If you have some downtime between Christmas and New Years, spend a few minutes picking up your office, and I promise you: you'll enjoy a year of increased productivity.
Where else can you get some office organizing tips? In today's Los Angeles Times Business Section of course, where yours truly is being featured in Karen Klein's In Box column.
"Question: I have some downtime this week and need to get my home office organized. Can you offer any suggestions on where and how to start?"
