"Thinking is so often overlooked, since many designers tend to enjoy doing: designing, creating, making. It's the leisure of unstructured time over these next few days that allow the opportunity for thinking."

Most designers take an extended breather around this time of year, however we'd be kidding ourselves to think we could ignore our work for the entirety of our break. Design Matters posts on exactly what thoughts we should focus on and avoid. For example, we should replace this:

"Will anybody notice if I don't send out a Christmas card?" or "How can I synchronize my font library across the network?"

with something like this:

"Where is your design business headed?" and "Are you content with your client relationships?"
