Have you noticed that the most productive day in your life is usually the day before you are going 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, one way or the other, and most, if not all, of your “To Do” items 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 night?
