Have you noticed that the most productive day is usually the day before you are leaving for a holiday or a long trip?
It is because you are in the mood to close things and not drag them on. There is a spring in your step!
A number of your unfinished business items somehow get resolved. And most, if not all, of your “To Do” items get completed.
Wouldn’t your productivity shoot up if you took each day at work as a day before your holiday? Why not take your evening off from work and think of it as your holiday for the evening?
