Another year is coming to a close. Hard to believe that Dec is knocking on our door, especially with this spring-like weather here in St. Louis as of late.
Each December I find myself managing my schedule like no other month. Everything seems to take a little longer. You have to manage around vacation and holiday schedules of your colleagues and business partners. Seems that the week that Christmas falls on is pretty much written off across the board.
There are some advantages to this different schedule though. I find it a great time to organize all that I have worked on over the past year. I make a backup of all of my important digital files and put it on a series of DVDs so that I can access historical projects easily. It is also a great time to get ahead on projects for the coming year. Many businesses have new budgets as of Jan 1. By now the briefing has most likely begun on 2010 Jan projects, though "work" should not begin until Jan 1.
It about time to put this year into the time capsule and make 2010 an even better year. I look forward to working forward a little again this Dec...get off on the right foot for the new year. What projects are on your horizon? What can you do to set yourself up for a strong 2010? What will you learn when you close up 2009?
