There is not much time left before the New Year. What is important to put on the priority list and be in time before the hands cross the 12 o'clock mark on the night of December 31?

1. Pay off debts and receive from debtors

It's not about superstition at all. Simply, in order to draw up a financial cost plan for the beginning of the year, spend something on gifts for yourself and your loved ones, go on vacation during the New Year's holiday calm, you need to streamline your financial affairs. To work with an elementary personal budget and planning family finances, both special planners and regular task lists will come in handy.

2. Put things in order in the house and in the head

It may seem that it is simple, and it is not worth talking about such obvious things. But I'm not talking about just stuffing things into closets. We have already considered the topic of putting the house in complete order, and before the New Year's celebrations, I recommend doing the same, only for a shorter period. Get rid of unnecessary things, garbage and trash not only in things, but also in people, relationships, projects. Do not take anything with you in January that should have been “thrown away” long ago, but at the same time it was somehow a pity to do it earlier. If you put it off until the last - get rid of it now: there are 6 more days.

3. Make a list of tasks, tasks and goals for the first quarter

Usually everyone advises making lists of goals for the year, but from my own experience I can say that this practice leads to a blurring of goals and to the fact that everything that seemed feasible and achievable, in practice, remains unfulfilled in 80%. Of course, there is a good book on this topic by Neil Fiore, but books, tips and small exercises alone will not achieve results. Start small: outline your goals, objectives, and ambitions for the first three months of the coming year. You can make the list as detailed as you want. I recommend breaking it down into structural parts: subsections or headings - Life, Work, Relationships, Leisure, Shopping, Health, Communication, Hobbies, etc. Set yourself no more than 10 observable and realistic goals in each of the headings. And give yourself a 3 month lead time. But only in such a way as to really achieve the fulfillment of all these goals and objectives.

4. Buy gifts

New Year's Eve shopping is also a "joy": queues, rush, confusion in prices and discounts, problems with delivery and many other small and big troubles will inevitably be your companions. To avoid queues, overpayments and fuss - order gifts in online stores, and for expedited and convenient delivery of goods from abroad, use special services like Shipito or Qwintry.

5. Do not get sick

Winter is still outside. In running for gifts, cleaning the house, constantly moving between shops, supermarkets, work / study and home, we often neglect the elementary rules of behavior and the choice of clothing for the winter season. Therefore, we want to remind you of a good post with the rules of behavior in cold weather, so as not only not to get sick yourself, but also to protect your loved ones from health problems.

I hope that you will cope with these 5 important tasks by December 31, and meet the New Year in a good mood, with good gifts, in the circle of people dear to you and completing all the planned activities.
