How to Stay Productive During the Winter Holidays

1. Create shopping lists on the weekends. Gather with your family and write down everything you need to buy for Christmas: food, presents, etc. 
2. Beat the rush. To remain productive at work it's important to make plans and schedule while you are home and to do this in time without delaying untilthe last moment. 
3. Dedicate your after-work time to online shopping.
4. Ask for favors. There's nothing wrong in asking for help from your friends and family if you find yourself stressed by time.
5. Organize your work and get things done. Once you get to the office, forget about Christmas and organize your work.
6. Deal with important tasks first. Morning is the most productive part of the day for most of us, so it's better to get the most important tasks done in this part of the day. 
7. Steal time from your break if you want to check last-minute offers. If you know there will be a good promotional offer and you want to catch it, you can do this during you lunch break.
8. Focus on your work not on how your vacation will be.
9. Avoid distractions.
10. Be consistent in your work. If you start falling behind, don't give up!
11. Think about the consequences if you won't finish the work. It's not a nice approach but this might motivate you.
