Today, block out a morning or an afternoon each week to work on your report. By “slicing and dicing” this task, you will be less stressed and have your report completed on time if not early so you can really focus on enjoying the holidays with family and friends. By working on it bit by bit, you will probably have a higher quality report as well.
