8 ways to stay on track till Christmas....

Monday is a good day to take stock. It's good to take a moment, and look at what you are acheiving and see if you are on track. The week before last I had the audit and last week I was busy finishing off the tasks for that. This week I come back to my incredibly messy desk (when did that happen again?) and ask myself... am I losing my way?

Here are some of my thoughts....
  1. It is quite challenging to stay focussed when you are running on empty! find a way to replenish the energy tank. there is no point is completely running out of steam.
  2. Focus on the most important things with the end time line in view. Some things are important, but now could be left till after Christmas. Now is absolutely the time to prioritise.
  3. Keep your work environment tidy and simple.
  4. Do one task at a time.
  5. Write everything down.
  6. Schedule stuff if your diary. This is important.
  7. Don't forget to have some fun with your co-workers. The end of the year is an opportunity to lighten up a little!
  8. Remember the pleasureable end result... there are holidays coming, you will enjoy them all if there are not a whole lot of things clamouring for attention.
