Everything gets a little busier during the holidays. There are parties to attend, things to bake, decorations to put up, and family to deal with lovingly enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, it’s my most favorite time of the year, but it’s also really easy to let productivity fall to the wayside in lieu of more fun winter activities. Even if you’re feeling a bit like playing hooky in the snow, you want to make sure you head into the New Year as productive and motivated as possible. Below you’ll find tips that have allowed me to stay motivated during the holiday season. Of course, I’d love it if you’d share what’s worked for you.
1. Plan Ahead
Be realistic about your time. If you know you’re going to be traveling or skipping out early, schedule those as days off. Don’t assume that you’ll be able to work from the train the same you can from your office or that you’ll be able to find a quiet spot to focus when your house is filled with family. You can’t. Before things get too crazy, take a look at your calendar and decide when it’s realistic to schedule work time and when you should admit you’ll need the day off. If you work those days in now, you’ll be able to plan for them so you don’t fall behind.
