It’s the season of giving and everyone is in the holiday spirit. The holiday season for me is the most distracting time of the year. Everyone is busy with traveling and meeting up with friends and family. And you have big plans for your business next year. So how best to deal with all the year-end hustle and stay positive and productive even during the holiday season?
Take the time off
Don't be overwhelmed about all the tasks you will be returning to after the holidays. In fact, sit back and take the time off and reflect on all the strategies you've implemented this year. What worked for you? What do you need to do to make it better for 2019?
Come up with a work plan
List your goals for the year and break it into a quarterly plan that would help you maintain your focus and get things done. Schedule your priority tasks into your calendar.Take advantage of your client’s slow-down

Granted, it’s not easy. To ensure success, you need to embrace all elements of digital marketing and that takes effort. But the digital marketing puzzle is exactly that – a puzzle, and only when every piece comes together will you have a complete marketing solution.
Many business owners struggle to appreciate this concept and often the business will see losses as a result. For example, maybe Google Adwords is being used to advertise a website but the site isn’t optimised for user engagement. This will deter people from visiting in the future.
Or perhaps a business owner is confused and overwhelmed by social media so they’re only using Facebook? Or they’ve handballed the task to a more junior employee with no experience. This is not an effective use of digital marketing. To get the most out of social media in particular it is integral that, as a business owner, you ask yourself these five questions:
If you don’t have answers to the above, chances are your business’ digital marketing campaign is suffering and you could do with some help.
