With the focus now fully on Christmas peak trading, here are some tips, ideas and help to get you through what is potentially the busiest time of the year.

Set limits and expectations
Setting realistic goals and limits could be the difference between enjoying your peak trading or pushing too hard and being too busy to cope. It's good practice to think of goals in terms of S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.) This will help you work successfully within your limitations and also help you review how well you did afterwards.
Another tip is to look back at what you did and how you performed in previous years, trying to match the key days on your calendar. If you can, look back and compare your working plans then and now. This can help guide strategy for this year too, reflecting on what worked or perhaps didn't work.
