Title: 9 Ways to
Kick Off the New Year With a Bang
There is nothing magical
about the New Year, except if we decide to make it so.
It’s always kind of a
letdown when the holidays end. The decorations come down, the parties and the
gift giving come to an end, and there’s no more fruitcake.
Okay, maybe you’re glad
there’s no more fruitcake, but other than that, it’s time to cheer up.
The New Year offers a
bright, shiny opportunity to clear the slate, make a fresh start and set new
goals.
Here are nine ways to kick
off the New Year with a bang.
1.
Take a break.
After the hustle and
bustle of the holidays, allow yourself a break in the action.
Break from the norm and
take a couple of days off to take a day trip, catch up on your sleep, or go to
lunch with a friend.
A new landscape will help
you de-stress and open your eyes to new possibilities.
This is also a good time
to write thank-you notes to all those who gave you gifts during the holidays.
2.
Create a vision board.
Use this quiet time to
reflect on the past year and plan for the
new one that has come.
Pick one or two big things
you’d like to accomplish and create a vision board.
Bestselling author Jack
Canfield believes a vision board serves as a tangible representation
of where you are going.
In other words, it
represents your dreams, goals and your ideal life.
Set your goals for each
month, quarter and the year, and lay out weekly and monthly action steps that
will help you reach them.
3.
Tidy up.
Clear out and spruce up
your working space.
The new year is also a
good time to purchase new office furniture or accessories.
Pack away last year’s
files and make space for new ones.
Clean out your email inbox
and electronic files.
Organize end-of-year
records. Dust, vacuum and decorate in order to get those productive juices
flowing.
4.
Restock.
Like the start of a new
school year, you need new supplies to help you do your best work.
Take an inventory of all
items you need to do business, and purchase or replace items you have run out
of or need to order.
This can include a new
monitor, computer, printer, or even small items such as business cards,
stationery, order forms, catalogs, note pads, pencils, pens and paper clips.
5.
Get moving.
Perhaps you overindulged
during the holidays.
Just about everyone does.
Get back in a healthy routine by eating well and exercising regularly.
Set specific times during
the week to take walks or go to an exercise class.
Make an appointment with
yourself and put it in your calendar.
Use your exercise time to
calm the mind, listen to music, TED
talks or podcasts, or socialize with new friends.
6.
Get organized.
To boost productivity and
reduce stress, determine which tasks and duties are priority and which are not.
Learn to delegate the less
important tasks to others so you can concentrate on running the business.
Hire talent or outsource
work to freelancers.
7.
Get out from behind your computer.
Technology is a great way
to network and hold virtual meetings, but try scheduling face-to-face meetings
with clients and colleagues whenever possible.
Relationships blossom and
more deals are likely to happen if you can meet someone in person.
8.
Commit to a work-life balance.
Don’t let work control
your life.
This year, set a work-life
plan that will enable you to nurture relationships and interests outside of
work as well as take care of business.
A mastermind group or an
accountability partner will help you stick to these resolutions.
9.
Set a theme
Instead of making a New
Year’s resolution, come up with a theme instead.
The theme should be a word
that resonates with you and embodies something that has been missing from your
daily life.
Write this word down and
keep it on your desk and look at it every day.
Here are some examples:
mindfulness, flexibility, simplify and adventure.
The New
Year offers an opportunity to reboot, reorganize, start over, and do the things
you’ve been putting off way too long.
Be
patient with yourself.
You have
all year to accomplish your new goals.
And don’t
forget to reward yourself whenever you make strides in a positive direction.
