Time is money! That’s one thing Thomas and Skhumba agree on, and with the end of the year fast approaching, the Kaya 959 presenters don’t have any time to waste.
There’s no time like the present to achieve every goal that you may have set at the beginning of the year and ensure that you end the year productively.
Here are five tips to ensure that you devote the next 4-months to turning your time into money:
Mentally prepare for the year-end
It can be a real mood killer, thinking about your time at the office, while a majority of people are planning holidays.
To mentally train your mind for the daily routine and possibly working throughout the holidays, remember that time is limited and you have to push through to make sure you end the year reaching those personal objectives.
Practice some deep breathing exercises to help you cope with any anxiety you may experience during this time.
Take things at your own pace
The internet was not built in a day. In the same light, there’s only so much you can accomplish in the last few months, so try not to set too many major goals for yourself, as you wind down the year.
Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
Start a bullet journal
Journaling is a great way to keep track of your days, tasks, moods, projects, accomplishments, and failures.
There are fantastic digital journaling apps available on app stores, for those who are more environmentally conscious. If however, you prefer putting pen to paper, a journal could also help you manage your stress more effectively.

To do lists for everything
Well-oiled engine though you are, you’re human. Which means that mistakes are bound to happen. You can’t remember every menial task you need to get through every day.
From the kids’ schedules and all the social activities you need to fit in, it’s safer to pin down all your daily to-dos on a list.
If you’ve taken up the idea of the bullet journal, your lists could be included here. Keeping a digital version of your list will help you keep track of your goals on the move.
Keep it fresh
Clean living and work spaces help you focus. It’s not practical to work in a cluttered and messy space. According to the ancient Chinese, Feng Shui principles, there are key elements that one could include into the living and working environments to create harmony and balance energy.
Crystals and fresh plants with a water and fire element included can all help to create a naturally peaceful space for creativity to flow. Don’t expect too much on your return to the office after a break. You don’t want to lose the serenity you recently acquired so soon now, do you?
