Hey,
The current year is about to come to an end. People around the world are already in the holiday mood. Now, you might be planning to take a break during this time. But there are a couple of things you must do before you take some time off. You need to do some pre-holiday organizing.
When you go on a vacation, all you want is to relax and enjoy your time off work. But if you do not organize your work beforehand you might end up returning to an unattended pile of work. This is a stressful situation you do not want to deal with after a blissful vacation. So here is a list of tasks that you must do before the holidays.
Make a to-do list
This is a good way to begin organizing your business responsibilities. Make a list of all the things that need to be done during the holiday week and next. This will help you to increase productivity and minimize stress.
Prioritize
No matter how much you want to finish all the tasks before you go on leave, you cannot possibly do everything. Hence, prioritize your tasks. Prioritize more important tasks and note the least important ones at the bottom.
Inform everyone beforehand
Notify your managers, clients, and colleagues at least a week in advance. Ask them for any outstanding requests. Tell them if you will be available to respond to their request next week and to expect a delayed response during your time off.
Tomorrow we will discuss in detail the arrangements you need to make before you go on leave.
