Ending the year on a high note

For most people, the countdown to the New Year has already started. Given this, people are already on holiday mode. And with parties left and right, work productivity, unfortunately, takes a back seat. Last-minute vacation planning and gift-buying top the list of concerns for most employees. After all, work will begin again in the coming year.


However, for employees who intend to race past their peers in getting that raise or promotion, they need to finish the year strong. They could set themselves apart from the rest of the pack by giving that final push. They could do so by creating their own yearend goals and sticking to deadlines. Their guiding philosophy is: Be the new you now.

Though it may be difficult to keep the pace at times especially when everyone else is slowing down, what employees may do is vary their daily routine. For example, they could switch their daily cup of black coffee with a holiday blend on some days.


They could embrace the holiday mood, too. A positive attitude will certainly help when tackling tasks, so it is best to smile and bring cheer to colleagues. If for the most part of the year things have been difficult in the office, the best time to make up for it is by ending the year in good spirits.
