7 Ways to Stay Focused at Work During the Holidays

in Work & Education
Reading Time: 3 min

Working during the holidays seems like such a boring thing. Everyone gets into the holiday mood and spends their time either shopping or cooking up feasts. It might get hard to put in quality work during this season with everything going on around you. Not being able to do good work often means you will start the year on a bad note at the office. These few ways will help you stay focused at work during the holidays.

Have a Routine

Having a routine will come in handy for you during this busy time. With all the partying and get-togethers going around, you can easily get caught up in these activities. A routine will help you stay in control of your day and get everything else done. Sticking to a routine ensures you cover everything and avoid disappointing friends or family while staying productive at work.

Write a to-Do List

Holidays mean that you have so many things you are working on altogether. It may get busy, and you are bound to forget what you are meant to be doing at a particular time. Having a checklist with every important thing you need to do will help you keep up with everything. The best way to make a list is to do it way ahead of time. Come up with one at the beginning of each week and write what you need to do in order of importance. Schedule these in and then add the other stuff you’d like to do.

Do Not Multitask

Working during the holidays can seem like a bore. It is made even worse when you have your family partying without a care in the world. With all this, you might find yourself zoning off in the middle of a workday. One thing you need to remember during this time is to have an objective view of work and other activities. For instance, it would be rude if you went to work and spent the whole day picking out the best Christmas sweaters or trees online. On the other hand, your family will not take it kindly if you pick work calls at a Christmas dinner. Ensure that your work and family life is kept separate, especially during the holiday season.

Find Ways to Make the Office Look Festive

While you may think that you are alone struggling to concentrate, the opposite of this is true. Chances are your colleagues at work are also finding it hard to be in the work environment. One of the things that can get you all motivated is having Christmas decorations up in the office. It helps the atmosphere feel more relaxed. You can also have gift parties like secret Santa, which can help everyone get into the holiday spirit and work without feeling so overwhelmed.

Plan Your Holiday Break

The thing with holidays is that everyone wants to travel or take some time off. This cannot be possible for everyone. If you intend to travel or be away from the office during the holiday, it will help if you planned early. Take the time to ask for your days off before the holiday season begins. In doing so, will help the office plan on how they can carry on during the holiday season without you. It also saves you the hassle of getting your off-day request canceled because you are required at work.

Start Work Earlier

Where possible, start your workday earlier. It will give you ample time to clear your workload, and you might get off work earlier as well. Getting to your tasks earlier means you’ll be done in good time to meet up with friends or family and won’t feel like you have missed out on the holiday fun.

Take Short Breaks

As much as you might be required to give 100% at work, go easy on yourself. Take short breaks in between work if you can and relax a little bit. The holiday season is there for a purpose, and the breaks you take will do you good. Many office spaces have a relaxed routine during the holiday, so do not beat yourself up too much about work. You can organize office parties or team-building activities to help you and your colleagues bond better.

The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy. It is a great time to reflect on how far you have come and what hopes you still have for the year to come. As such, take the time to look outside and appreciate the little things that you have. It will leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to give your all at work when you return.
