With the holiday season in full swing and another year coming to a close, it’s time to take a well-deserved break from work and spend quality family with loved ones.

In fact, the holiday season brings so many special celebrations, anniversaries, birthdays, and other great events that it can seem like another full time job to fit everything in! The million dollar question becomes, “How do we keep a good workflow during the holidays?”

Productivity might go down during the holiday season

Almost everyone can get caught up in the holiday whirlwind during this time, and it can sometimes feel like everything requires our attention at the same time.Butit’simportanttorealizethat:

• Even the best employees can start to get a little restless at the end of the year and productivity can decrease as the holidays approach.
• It’s normal to want to enjoy the holiday season and go into vacation mode a little early.
• Productivity can decrease because of these factors, so it’s important to widen the margin of error on certain projects

Deadlines may be a little more lax as the holidays approach, which can affect overall productivity.
