End-of-Year Checklist: Wrapping Up Your Practice for the Holidays 🎄

12 Mar

The festive season is here, and it’s time to wind down, switch off, and take that well-deserved break. Before you step into full holiday mode, here’s a quick checklist to ensure your practice wraps up smoothly—so you can truly relax and start 2024 feeling refreshed.

1. Set Expectations with Clients 🎅

Whether it’s updating your website, sending a quick email, or sharing a holiday post on socials—make sure your clients know:

Your closure dates and when you’ll be back.
Any emergency contact options for you (if that’s something you offer), or reminders about help lines.

Clear communication now avoids last-minute confusion later.

**2. Update Your Out-of-Office Email 📧**
A simple, cheerful auto-reply does the trick:
Let clients know when you’ll be returning.
Share a resource or FAQ link to help them while you’re away.
✨ Bonus points for a festive touch: *"Wishing you a joyful holiday season—see you in 2024!"*

3. Office Shut Down: Tick Off the Basics 🎁

Before you lock up:
✅ Turn off power points to save energy and avoid any power surges ruining your electronics.
✅ Safely store any valuables.
✅ Do a quick walk-through to check everything’s secure.

Bonus - If you have living plants, you might want to take them home with you or organise a slow-release watering system.

Now you can switch off your mind too.
