It’s the holiday season; time to put your feet up, grab a mince pie and get your carolling on!

Or not…

Do you have to work over the Christmas break? If your one of the unlucky ones we’ve got some positive tips to help you stay driven at work during the holidays.

Plan early

By doing this you can create goals for 2019. This way, you’re clear on what to order in the New Year

Finish your projects 

Make sure you get everything done on your “to-do list” so you can start the New Year on a brand-new clean slate.

Winter clean 

Refresh your workspace ready for the 2019 period. When you’ve got a spare moment, Clear desk, clear mind! tidy, organise and freshen up your desk or office area.

Exercise 

The working days can be very long, particularly when everyone else is on their holiday. This is your time to get out of the office and take a walk at your breaks or lunch time. Talk to other people who are around over the holiday period, you’re not the only one who’s working over the Christmas holidays!

Limit the distractions 

Fight the battle to look at your social media when you’re at work. Seeing other people’s Christmas snaps will only put you off your work and make you want to get out of the workplace

Don’t over promise 

Always be realistic with your deadlines over the Christmas break. Don’t stress and try to get everything done at once before the new year, plan and achieve to succeed.

Review your past year 

Look back on your 2018 year and think about what went well and what you could have done better. Then, write down your goals for the 2019 year and set your mind to achieve and conquer what you really want in your career.

Get into the spirit 

Even though you’re at work, you can still get into the Christmas holiday spirit! Decorate your workspace/ office, turn up the volume and get the Christmas songs.

We hope this helps you over the festive period, make sure to stick with it and make it a good end to the year!
