12 Tasks To Get Out Of The Way Ahead Of Christmas
We thought we’d share 12 tasks to tackle which, once complete, will help you to wind down for the
festive season so that you can relax, sure in the knowledge you have planned
ahead (and don’t need to feel guilty while you party and take some well deserved
time off).
10th December
Produce your Christmas Card list from your Outlook contacts
(if you don’t have one, ask your VA to create one – you can build on it year
after year)
11th December
Write those cards!
12th December
Print your labels and don’t forget to mail your cards!
13th December
Write a blog and place a link to it on your website. You
never know who will be browsing from their shiny new tablet over the holiday
period!
16th December
Get yourself on Google+ if you haven’t already done so.

18th December
If you sell products and are launching a January sale, now
is the time to get those gorgeous things on Pinterest!19th December
Add a message to the home page of your website advising your
clients when you’ll be closed for business, reminding them they have a couple
of days left to get those orders in!
20th December
Collate your receipts for the month and enter them onto a
spreadsheet for your accountant (and make this a monthly habit - April will be
here before you know it)!
21st December
Yes, we know the 21st is a Saturday, but this is probably the last opportunity most of us will get to buy those last minute gifts ... remember, stay calm and carry on - it has to be done!
23rd December
Prepare your out of office email message and record your
voicemail greeting, advising people when you’ll be back at work.
24th December
Call those important people you won't be seeing over the break and as soon as the sun is over the yard arm, treat yourself to a glass of mulled wine, or something stronger. Finally, sit back, relax and wait to see what Santa brings those who have worked hard all year.
Happy Christmas!
