Before we know it, the end of the year will be here. There are only about 100 days left—crazy, right? Do you feel like you’ve gotten enough done this year and can start wrapping things up, or are you feeling like you’ve been stuck and procrastinating? Either way, we believe everyone can boost their productivity a bit more. So, we’ve put together a list of things you should try to tackle before the year’s over. Let’s check them out together.
1. Don’t forget those health check-ups
Remember that dentist appointment you keep putting off? Be honest, ladies—how many of us skipped the gynecologist this year? And what about your annual health check? If even a little bit of guilt is creeping in while reading this, it’s time to take action. Make those appointments this week! You can’t take your health for granted—after all, we only get one body!

2. Finish the book and the TV series
Finish what you started this year. Sometimes, simple things like reading a book, listening to a podcast, or watching a series can be the perfect way to refocus and prepare for a fresh start. It’ll leave you feeling more free and ready for what’s next. But honestly, this advice isn’t really about hobbies. You might realise deep down there are bigger, unfinished projects or goals weighing on you that need to be completed and brought to life.
3.Go visit them
Every year, you and your relatives or friends promise you’ll finally get together, but with busy schedules and not enough time, it always feels unrealistic. Now’s your chance to actually make it happen and spend some meaningful moments with your loved ones. You might be surprised to find out you have way more to talk about with that distant cousin than you thought!
4.Plan a vacation
Do you often end up rolling over unused vacation days into the new year? Avoid that this time and give yourself a well-deserved break. Maybe you’ll want to spend a few days at home, enjoying some cozy downtime. On the other hand, if you’re feeling adventurous, take advantage of your time off and go for a nice long weekend or a relaxing getaway. Visit those places you’ve been dreaming about but haven’t gotten around to yet. You’ve earned it—take a break.

5.Organize your home
Take a good look at your closets and shoe racks, and realistically decide what items you no longer need. Donate them to charity or to someone who could really use them. The same goes for your desk drawers—get rid of that pile of unnecessary papers that are just taking up all of the space. Don’t forget to go through your bookshelves too. You might find a few books you can sell online and make some extra cash. And let’s not ignore the pantry, storage rooms, and garages either! 🙂
Finally, remember that the end of the year is the perfect time to reflect on what you’ve achieved and prepare for new challenges. Give yourself credit for everything you’ve accomplished, and get motivated for what’s to come. Set your own pace and reward yourself along the way. Self-love really does matter!
