Checklist for Year-End Success

 
 

As we near the end of the 2021 calendar year, there are surefire steps to take for boosting productivity that will set you up for success now as well as far into the future:

✅ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘅. Before looking ahead, freshen up the existing fundamentals on which you can build next year. Pull your team together to see if any updates are needed for your company's mission, vision, core values and processes; then, assess what progress has been made on this year's goals and freshen up your workspace organization.

✅ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁. Assess what you've learned and achieved thus far in 2021. Review the list of projects you intend to accomplish "someday", assigning specific time on your calendar for completion of tasks that have earned time now.

✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. Sometimes, that involves tasks being deleted or delegated, but it can be removing what's no longer accurate, applicable, useful, hard to find online or bringing you joy. Consider what's lurking in email, papers, electronic files, desktop icons, contacts and calendar commitments.

How can you adjust the actions you're taking to better align with your goals for a strong finish to this calendar year?
