1. Clean up your archive

Throw away what you no longer need and store important items in folders and boxes. Archive alphabetically so that you can always easily find what you are looking for. You often only notice how much unnecessary stuff you have collected when you are done and have everything neatly organized. It will give you peace of mind and has a positive effect on the working atmosphere.

2. Evaluate

Consider for yourself what has not gone well in the past period and how this could be done differently. Why did this not work according to plan and how did you solve this at the time? And why should it work in a different way? Of course, also ask yourself what went well recently. Why does this way of working work so well? Can we also apply this tactic elsewhere and does it have the desired effect? ​​If you have received feedback from colleagues and/or customers, be sure to use it.

3.Apply innovation

Are the products/services you offer still attractive today? Are you still interesting for the customer? Can you offer what they are looking for? Check whether your products/services are still popular in the market. It is important to go along with the changes that happen around you. Stay critical and apply innovation.

4. Maintaining business relationships

It is important to stay in touch with your business relations. Show them from time to time that they are much appreciated. You can do this by having a pleasant telephone conversation with them, but also by inviting them for one enjoyable lunch. This is also a great initiative with which you can breathe new life into an old relationship.

5. Last but not least – Take your rest

If possible, take a day of rest. On this day, don't focus on your work, but mainly on yourself. Do things that you normally wouldn't get around to.
