To-Do Before January 1st
To-Do Before January 1st and the New Year
It’s the Holiday season and that means January 1st is right around the corner. There are several tasks to complete around the office before the end of the year and before the new one begins!
It’s time to say goodbye to the clutter holding you back. You’ll be able to help yourself once you’ve cleaned your area for 2019. Clear any extra clutter and un-used papers, notes, letters, lists, emails…etc. Get some new organization boxes for papers and office supplies. This will make your desk and work space so much more exciting to be in. Put some pictures of loved ones on your desk to add some extra personalization and happiness to your new year.
Although your fiscal year might not end now, the calendar year is still important for setting goals (personally and work related). So, make a list and check it twice before the January. Here are some tips to help transition into January more smoothly:
- Clean out your email inbox.
- Clean out your email contacts. There are probably several junk email contacts that need to be removed from your list.
- Review office accomplishments.
- Set goals for the year (short term and long term).
- Turn on your vacation responder if you’re going out town or for a few days of Holiday break.
- Make a priority list for goals.
- Check with your team about their goals/resolutions at work.
- Meet one on one with each team member to check in with them and review yearly performance.
- Celebrate your employees and managers for a great year.
