How to Be Productive When You Don’t Feel Like It

It can be a bit of a challenge to stay focused and productive around the holidays.

Two things to keep in mind:

1. It’s okay to take a break!  Just plan for it and be smart about what you focus on during your work time.
2. If you stay focused, you can be super productive, on the right projects/tasks – and still have time to enjoy with family and friends.

So, start by writing down your goals for the rest of December and figuring out which are most important to you to achieve.  Then break those down into action steps.  Finally, block out the time in your schedule for the specific tasks you’ll complete and stick to it!

If you need a bit of inspiration to get yourself into “work” mode, try these – a few are pretty counterintuitive.  Cake first, anyone?
