"December's back-to-back social demands — work parties, family gatherings, everyone's events colliding at once — are worth testing against now, in a comparatively quiet November week, rather than discovering the actual social capacity limit for the first time when the calendar's already packed.
Try genuinely saying yes to slightly more social contact than usual this week, and notice honestly where the energy actually runs out.
Better to find that limit now, with a month to plan around it, than mid-December with no time left to adjust."
