Working a job or owning a business, and handling your
personal life, leaves you very busy, both personally and professionally, but
here are a few simple tips listed below to help you.
Anytime can be a great time to get a jump on your
competition, and exerting a little effort can differentiate you.
Now is a great time to take advantage of planning early, getting organized, and taking the stress out of the season.

Lists serve you well during this time, so follow these tips:
1. Make
a List and Check it Twice: Imagine
Santa’s organizational challenge of delivering gifts to every child across the
globe within 24 hours without a list.
You should make a gift list of the people you need to remember, and carry it with you.

2. Carpe
Diem – Seize the Day! Now that you’ve got your gift list, seize the
moment. At year-end, many of us find
ourselves attending conferences/seminars dealing with our work.
Take advantage of your travel to another city
and give someone the gift of chocolate from Chicago or barbecue sauce from Dallas.
If you’re running from place to place, try shopping in airports during your layover. Airports have many unique and unusual shops, and you can kill time while checking off some gifts from your list.

3. Get
Organized Early: Being organized now
will give you more time to focus on work when everyone else is frantic and
losing ground.
Review your current goals and outline what you can do to affect
your success for the remainder of the year.
Make sure you’ve got a list that categorizes what you can do to help your clients during the busy holidays.

4. Take
Advantage of Quiet Time: Many people
take vacations during the holidays.
There are times when your place of business or office seems empty.
Great!
Use the quiet time to get work done without the typical
interruptions. Get a jump on your
business plan for the next year, prioritize activities that will generate the
largest payback, and brainstorm ideas with your group on strategy.
5. Remember
Your Customers: Don’t forget to remember
your customers by sending greetings.
A little effort can go a long way in building an ongoing relationship with clients by thanking them for their support and patronage.
Include some personal comments about your successes together this year, and hopes for the coming year.

A personal note to each customer is best and
is a gesture often overlooked these days.
It can go a long way to differentiate you from your too-busy-to-bother
competition.
In this very technological and harried modern world many of
the niceties of the past are either forgotten or never taught.
There should be a course for every up and coming executive/MBA candidate that puts back the personal touch in business.

You’d be surprised to learn how many of your
customers remember the salesman or company that exerts that little bit of extra
care.
You never know who is going to give you that next giant order that keeps the wolf from the door.

It might just be the client that got your
personal holiday card and remembered it.
In business, being “nice” is not an option, it’s your living! so Enjoy.... :)

I completely agreed with the fact that now day's we are seems to be very busy personally and professionally; therefore we are getting less time for planning good things for our personal and professional life. But in case of professional life we are always looking for better and effective opportunities and from here we can get some facts through which we are able to organize our business. I hope through these valuable points we are able to achieve whatever we want in our business.
