The holiday season is here—cue the festive chaos! Between wrapping up projects, juggling family commitments, and trying to keep your socials alive, it’s easy to feel like you’re spinning too many plates. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back!
Here are some tips to stay calm, organised, and present (pun intended!) during December and January.
1. Plan Your Socials Ahead of Time
December can be a whirlwind, so let’s get those social media posts sorted early. Create a holiday content calendar now—think festive themes, seasonal offers, or a ‘year in review’ post. Schedule your content using tools like Planoly (we love this one of us and all our clients), Later, Hootsuite, or even Instagram’s built-in scheduler.
Pro Tip: Pre-plan a mix of posts that entertain, educate, and promote. This keeps your feed fresh and engaging without stressing you out daily.
2. Set Realistic Goals
Let’s be honest: December isn’t the month to reinvent your business (LOL!). Focus on what really needs to get done.
Wrap up outstanding projects.
Prioritise tasks that’ll set you up for success in January.
Accept that not everything will be perfect—and that’s okay!
Holiday mantra: Done is better than perfect.
3. Outsource Where You Can
Feeling overwhelmed?
Call in reinforcements! Hire a VA to manage customer inquiries, or delegate your social media to a trusted agency 👀 (hello, stress-free holidays).
If you’re running a promotion or holiday campaign, consider outsourcing some graphic design or copywriting to free up your time.
4. Batch Create Content
Got a quiet day or a few hours? Use it to batch-create content like posts, stories, or reels. Dedicate a few hours to snapping photos, recording videos, or writing captions. You’ll thank yourself when the holiday craziness hits.
Quick idea: Create a “behind-the-scenes of your business during the holidays” reel. People love seeing the real you!
5. Set Boundaries with Your Time
You’re not Santa—you can’t deliver everything overnight. Make your working hours clear to clients, family, and even yourself. Schedule time off and stick to it. Your mental health will thank you!
6. Automate the Little Things
Automate processes where possible.
Set up email autoresponders to handle inquiries.
Use social media automation tools for replies and scheduling.
Streamline order processing with apps or software if you run an e-commerce store.
7. Lean into Holiday Spirit
Incorporate the holiday vibes into your business. Run a fun giveaway, share your favourite holiday traditions, or post a “thank you” message to your customers for their support this year. These little touches make your brand feel human and relatable.
8. Remember Self-Care Isn’t Optional
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take time for yourself this season. Whether it’s a walk, a cuppa in peace, or a Christmas movie night, make time to recharge.
The holidays don’t have to be all hustle and no fun. With a bit of planning and a dash of holiday spirit, you can survive December and January while keeping your business (and sanity) intact.
Cheers to a season that’s merry, bright, and beautifully organised!
