The pre-New Year period is a time when many tasks fall on us. We want to have time to complete all work projects, buy gifts for loved ones, prepare for the holidays and, of course, relax. How can you avoid drowning in this stream of to-dos and get everything done?

Here are some tips to help you cope with the New Year's rush:

Make a to-do list. This is the first and most important step. Once all the tasks are written down on paper, it will be easier for you to understand what you are dealing with and what needs to be done first.

Set your priorities. Not all things are equally important. Determine which tasks are your top priority and which can be put off until later.

Set deadlines. Set a clear deadline for each task. This will help you not to procrastinate.

Break large tasks into small ones. If a task seems too difficult to you, break it down into several smaller and manageable steps.

Do the most difficult tasks in the morning. As Mark Twain said, “if you eat a frog in the morning, the rest of your day will be wonderful”, because the worst has already happened. Therefore, try to complete difficult tasks in the first half of the day.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you are not able to handle all the issues yourself, do not hesitate to ask your loved ones or friends for help.

Don't forget to rest. Even during the New Year period, it is important to make time for rest. This will help you maintain strength and avoid fatigue.

Tell yourself often that you can do it. Keep yourself positive and don't let yourself get discouraged.

By following these tips, you can finish all your work before the New Year and celebrate the holiday in a good mood.
