The Tax Accountant's Busy Season Survival Plan

The Tax Accountant's Busy Season Survival Plan: A DBT-Based Guide to Using Distress Tolerance and Mindfulness to Manage the Extreme Stress and Long Hours of Tax Season
A DBT-Based Guide to Using Distress Tolerance and Mindfulness to Manage the Extreme Stress and Long Hours of Tax Season
Busy season has a strange way of making ordinary objects feel accusatory. The unread email count looks judgmental. The printer sounds impatient. A client portal notification arrives at 8:47 p.m. and somehow carries the emotional weight of a fire alarm. On the desk sits a mug of coffee that went cold three hours ago, beside a list that has grown despite an entire day of work.
Tax professionals do not need a lecture on pressure. You already know what a compressed filing calendar feels like from inside it. The harder question is what to do with your own nervous system while the work keeps arriving.
That is the purpose of this book. Busy season cannot always be made pleasant. It can, however, become more workable. The aim is to help you meet difficult hours with better control of attention, more tolerance for discomfort, and fewer reactions that create a second problem on top of the first.
