It's a brand new month and as you well know, December has 31 days. It’s one of the longer months of the year in terms of total number of days on the calendar. But in reality, it’s actually one of the shorter months for accomplishing your goals. Are you using the limted time you have effectively?
To get a better sense of how many productive days you really have - first, take all the weekend days out of the mix - that’s eight days - you are now down to 23 days. Now take out Christmas Eve, Christmas day and the day after, along with New Year’s Eve - that’s four more. Now you are down to 19 days. As far as sales days go for most businesses, the days between Christmas and New Year’s are a bust - so there goes the 29th and 30th. Now we are down to 17 days.
If you start at the beginning of the month, you only have 17 working days to accomplish your goals if they have anything to do with other people. Even that may be a bit of a stretch. Good luck attempting to reach someone that you absolutely have to talk with on the 22nd and 23rd. That leaves you 15 days.
You’ve got 15 days to be productive - slightly less than half the month. What do you need to do to ensure this is a productive month? What's your plan to have a successful month? What do you need to do today? How about right now? Get going!
