The countdown is on! What you need to do before the New Year. New Year's signs and traditions: what you definitely need to do on New Year's Day What you need for the year

They say that in the old year you need to leave everything bad. Of course, this list also includes your least favorite job. If you have been thinking about leaving for a long time, wrote statements and hid them in a drawer, the time has come to finally make up your mind. Firstly, you will enter the new year absolutely free and open to new proposals. Secondly, the holiday holidays will definitely pass without calls from your boss and an overflowing mailbox.

End a painful relationship

It’s like with work: you’ve been thinking about breaking up for a long time and a lot, but you can’t leave. New Year- a good reason to do it or at least try. When, if not now?

It can be difficult to decide on your own, so seek help from a psychologist. He will set you up in the right way, and the separation will be less painful than the relationship itself. Moreover, at such moments friends and relatives are always nearby.

Forgive or say goodbye

There is no need to light sparklers with a heavy heart. If someone has offended you or betrayed you, try to forgive or say goodbye to this person forever. You shouldn’t take a bag of claims and understatements into your new life.

Spend the day with someone who deserves it

You probably have a person whom you love very much, but you call and meet with him extremely rarely. Usually the closest ones fall into this category: mother, father, grandmother, younger sister or nephew. Have time to free at least one day before the New Year and devote it entirely to this person. This will be the best gift for him.

Buy gifts in advance

The advice is obvious and everyone seems to know about it. But three days before the New Year, the shops are crowded. Queues, confusion, absence the right sizes and flowers, a fight for the last discounted vase. To avoid this and make choosing gifts enjoyable, plan your shopping trip in advance. Set aside the required amount and free one day.

In most stores, good discounts begin in November. All items that have not left the shelves this year are being sold out. The closer December is, the fewer such goods remain. And in the second half of December there are almost no discounts. On the contrary, prices are rising as demand jumps significantly. Therefore, it is better not to postpone New Year's shopping.

Decide to do something crazy

A skydive, a spontaneous trip or a tattoo that you have dreamed of since your youth. Finally, get out of your comfort zone and decide on something that you will remember for a very long time. And no “what ifs”! Then when the chimes strike, you definitely won’t think that the year has passed boring and ordinary.

Overcome your biggest fear

Still afraid of flying on airplanes? Buy a ticket for the next flight. It doesn’t matter where. The main thing is to have time to overcome your fear. This is a reason to be proud of yourself and a good story to tell at the holiday table.

Eat something unusual

Go to your favorite restaurant on Fridays and always order “as usual”? Change your consistency and order the craziest thing on the menu. This dish may become your favorite. If not, another vivid memory is guaranteed.

Get rid of debt

This applies to both finances and work, study and everyday life, that is, all the things that you started but did not finish. There is no need to enter the new year with the effect of unfinished action. Pay off your debts, finish all your letters, complete all your projects. As a rule, this does not take as much time and effort as it seems. Just stop procrastinating.

Tidy up your home and workspace

Starting the year in a clean apartment is much more pleasant. Get rid of all the junk: throw away trinkets, offer nice things that you no longer need to friends or family.

Pay special attention to your work area. Feel free to throw away (or donate) unnecessary waste paper, update your office and start a new diary.

Clean your phone

Our whole life today fits into one smartphone. Before the holiday, put things in order too. Delete numbers that you definitely will never need, erase messages that you secretly re-read before going to bed, get rid of photos that bring up not entirely pleasant memories.

Take stock of this year and plan for the next one

Take a piece of paper and write down all your achievements and failures for this year in two columns. It’s unlikely that all 365 days went smoothly for anyone, so don’t be afraid of the truth and admit your mistakes.

With such a visual list, it will be easier to create a new one, but with plans for next year. Your goals should be specific, achievable, measurable, and truly important to you. Try to set clear and realistic deadlines for yourself and think through a step-by-step action plan.

For me, the New Year is a time to take stock, think and ask myself... Ask what worked and what didn’t, think what could have been done better or faster. Unfortunately, time doesn’t add up, every year you get older and you realize that it’s time to think more intensively with your head, otherwise there’s no other way...

Since ancient times, there has been an opinion that with the new year, each of us has the opportunity to start life with a clean slate. Well, there is something in it. Our holidays last a long time, some go farther away to celebrate, but I never saw much sense in this. It’s simple, sometimes it reaches the point of absurdity, what’s so interesting about celebrating the New Year underwater? Well, nothing, as for me. Although take your family and go on vacation to the mountains, why not...

And here’s another thing, the fulfillment of wishes... As the chimes strike, everyone says goodbye to the old New Year, and expects from the New Year that it will give them a magic wand that will do everything for them. But this is all a fairy tale, Lord, ordinary Christmas story... You have to really work hard, and there’s no smell of magic here anymore.

Of course, no one will forbid you to make a wish, but you shouldn’t hope for a miracle. In general, it’s better to turn your dream into a goal, make a concrete plan, and while the idea is still clear and doubts are not filling your head, GET TO WORK.

In general, there is still a month until the new year, and we are already thinking about what and how to do...

It turned out to be a small list, only 100 points =) Some things are serious, some are funny, some are simply heartwarming. In general, I hope that those who read it will bring inspiration and new ideas for their future plans for the new year.

To-do list for the year! 100 things to do in the new year

  1. . It's no surprise that this item was number one on my list. After all, the development process involves constant improvement. Each of us knows what we need to change in ourselves to become better. So, we remember all such moments and make a list of 5-12 bad habits. And then, go to point 2, and work on them whole year.
  2. . The process is similar to creating a list of bad habits, only now we are thinking specifically about what needs to be done to become more disciplined or healthy, or to become an expert in some field. This is your fantasy stream. Because It takes about a month to form a new habit. Over the next year, 12 new habits will appear in your arsenal that will make your life easier. Think about these habits in advance or you can take them from our list, because... The items in the list below can become your new habit.
  3. Come up with ways to implement them. Turn your dreams into goals, because this is what our action plan for the next year was created for.
  4. Write your plan for the year and follow it. If you have a plan, then you know where to go.
  5. Sometimes go to a quiet coffee shop to be alone and make a plan for the next month. It's better to choose your favorite cafe.
  6. Once a month, take some time to cook a new dish. In this case, you can kill two birds with one stone: first, diversify your menu or find your signature dish, which you will treat your guests every time.
  7. Learn a new one/or improve an old one foreign language(English/German/Italian). What are the advantages of introducing this habit: firstly, you train your memory, and secondly, you train your brain. The main thing is to understand that the language requires constant daily practice.
  8. Learn poems. This point, like the previous one, trains our memory, and sometimes you can show off your intellect at a party. Those who don't like to learn poems can learn their favorite song. And remember that consistency is key.
  9. Read the minimum. Or maybe more, it all depends on your appetite. By the way, if you decide to read specialized literature, then within a year you can become an expert in your chosen field.
  10. Watch only. How do you know if a movie is good? Easy, ask your friends what their favorite movie is, or read reviews on the Internet before watching the movie. After doing this research, you can be 90% sure that the film is worth watching. Don't waste your time on stupid movies and TV shows. By the way, you can arrange to watch movies with friends on Fridays. 😉
  11. Start making sweets at home and completely eliminate store-bought baked goods.
  12. Pass a medical examination or simply make an appointment with the necessary doctors. Take care of your health, and it will thank you years later.
  13. . The ability to complain and feel like a victim is what you need to get rid of first. Of course, there is nothing wrong if you tell someone about your problems once. But when this is repeated constantly, it can ruin your positive aura and your friends will start avoiding you, so you need to start getting rid of this bad habit right now.
  14. (with vitamins and minerals) and stick to it. I don’t think it’s worth talking too much about the benefits of proper nutrition. The only thing I want to emphasize is that a planned menu will help you save time and money.
  15. Accustom yourself to a special regime (get up at 5-6 am, go to bed until 11 pm) Thanks to this mode, you will have a lot of extra time. After all, when the city wakes up, you have already done a lot of things.
  16. Say “I love you” every day. For yourself, those around you, your loved ones!
  17. Every month, plan who you need to meet this month. Don't forget old friends, even if you rarely see each other, call them, or even better, meet them.
  18. Plan a time when you can visit distant relatives. In case you rarely see them.
  19. Find out your hometown as best as possible. Cafes, exhibitions, buildings, secluded corners. Decide for yourself. Set aside a day once a month when you can explore your city.
  20. . When people complain about something, they don't value what they have now. And God sooner or later takes it away from them. So, start appreciating everything around you right now, without waiting for the new year.
  21. At least once a month, turn off your mobile phone for the whole day and devote the day to reflection.
  22. Learn to think at least once a week about ways to generate income (passive and active). Counting on retirement in our time is a very optimistic forecast. So, insure yourself and create passive income and save for the future yourself.
  23. Write your life story. Start writing a diary. If you read this article after the start of next year, then don't wait until next year to start. Start writing right now, everything that worries you motivates you. And don't forget to analyze every day.
  24. Take one characteristic photo per day. Memories are quickly erased, but if you can capture what was important to you on that day. You'll have something to remember later. Make a separate folder on your computer. And sign each photo in a special way. In addition, this task will teach you discipline.
  25. Learn all the capitals of the world. And make a plan of the places you want to see someday. Don't forget to explain why these particular places. Compose detailed description each of the places. What places do you want to visit there? This will bring you closer to your goal.
  26. Make a list of 12 achievements for the year. It often happens that when you come to an interview, they ask you about your achievements. And you have nothing to answer. It seems like you’ve been running around all year like a squirrel in a wheel, but you can’t remember anything. Therefore, it is necessary to write everything down. Plan your achievements in advance. Think about the area in which you want to achieve something. And forward to achievements.
  27. Plan your budget(20% to save, 10% charity, 50% regular spending, 10% for entertainment)
  28. Create a personal budget. I think you have more than once discovered that the money has run out, and you still have to wait and wait until your paycheck, as if you didn’t buy anything, but the money has disappeared. Yes, they have such a property - to disappear. But you can take control of them. For this you need a personal budget. If anyone needs it, you can download the template .
  29. Buy things on sale. Save your budget. Usually in January and July you can buy things at the maximum discount.
  30. Get started. If you are not you, then who? We asked ourselves a question. Now start loving and pampering yourself.
  31. Stop putting things off for the future. This is probably one of the most difficult tasks for next year. But still doable. Try to do small things at once. You need to wash the frying pan, do it now, you need to finish the report, quickly get to work. Of course, if this is not a five-minute task, treat it like a game and do yourself an apartment cleaning project or a conservation project. And when the job is done, you will be proud of yourself, because you completed the whole project.
  32. Spend less than you earn. Living on credit is not living. Live within your means. Of course, there are force majeure events, but this happens only once or twice in a lifetime. If you want to spend more, find an opportunity to earn more.
  33. . Literally, mentally get rid of unnecessary thoughts. If you find it difficult to do this in your mind, write these thoughts down on paper and burn them. This ritual will help erase unnecessary thoughts from your memory. Don't rush to fill your brain with everything you see. Concentrate only on the necessary things.
  34. Learn to meditate. With our frantic pace of life, it is imperative to relax. The buzzword comes from yoga. If you don't have time to go to classes. Sit in silence or turn on instrumental music and try to get all thoughts out of your head. Enjoy the silence. Learn to relax and distract yourself from the outside world.
  35. Limit social media up to an hour a day. Better yet, give them up. I just can't do it. Sometimes it's very important to keep in touch with old friends who are abroad. But you need to limit your time; an hour is enough to answer messages and look through your feed.
  36. Forgive yourself for mistakes. Everyone can make a mistake. We learn from mistakes. Stop thinking about them. Otherwise you will live in the past.
  37. Learn to remain silent. I am a very sociable person by nature. It's hard for me to understand how people can remain silent when they walk together. But we need to learn this. Because Silence also brings people together and you won’t have time to say anything unnecessary.
  38. . There are many methods of concentration. I recommend reading the book by L. J. Palladino - Maximum Concentration. It is freely available on the Internet. Perhaps in this book you will find your own way to concentrate. So far I have found one way for myself - this is the Pomodoro principle (25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest)
  39. Stop going out in the sun without sunscreen. The sun is very dangerous for our skin. Take care of her.
  40. Feed your brain. In fact, there are now a lot of ways to develop our brain: games, crosswords, solving puzzles or logical problems.
  41. Surround yourself with successful people. The saying “Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are” was not invented for nothing. Do you want to be successful people? Chat with people like you. And you won’t notice how you begin to change.
  42. Watch the speeches of famous speakers, study their habits and intonations. I really like the Internet channel http://www.ted.com/. Famous speakers share their discoveries. This is very informative and English language. Although there are Russian subtitles.
  43. Stop communicating with people who treat you badly. In fact, why communicate with people who do not value you. Relatives are an exception. But you can safely say goodbye to the rest.
  44. . This is probably one of my bad habits that I carefully fight. Try to finish every task to the end. Don't start new book, if you haven’t finished reading the old one.
  45. Play boardgames. Winter is coming and it's the best time to spend time with friends.
  46. Call your parents more often. Better daily.
  47. Learn to see the good in people. This is the quality that is more valuable than money. Even though you are afraid of many people, this should not stop you from seeing something good in them. You can learn something from every person, but what exactly is your choice.
  48. Stop comparing yourself to others. You are you. And you will never become a different person. There is no need to compete with someone. Compare the results only with the past You. With what you were and what results you achieved.
  49. . This quality will be useful to you in many areas of life. While sitting on the subway, pay attention to details, or remember something along the way.
  50. Stop pouring out the ones you love. Let's admit it, everyone does this at every opportunity. For what? Unclear. Try to distract yourself from problems when you are around loved ones.
  51. Find a job you love. This is something everyone should do. Everyone has the right to a good job and to well-being and job satisfaction.
  52. Clean the apartment daily. In fact, this is difficult if you only dedicate 20 minutes a day to cleaning. Divide the apartment into zones. And clean one area every day.
  53. Find time to imagine. We are all children at heart, and it is very important for us to dream. Don't limit yourself to this. Fantasize.
  54. Focus on what you are really good at. This could become a new source of income.
  55. Get rid of clutter at home. If it's hard to throw everything away, give it to someone. The main thing is not to take it to the garage. It is designed for your Mercedes, not for storing rubbish.
  56. Get rid of the habit of replaying negative scenarios in your head. Don’t attract negativity, of course, it’s worth playing it safe, but you shouldn’t constantly think about it.
  57. Find a common interest with yours. Common things bring you closer together, make a common list with your significant other and gradually implement them.
  58. Learn to keep your word. If you want to gain respect among friends and colleagues, keep your word. If you can't do it, it's better to refuse.
  59. Introduce the 10 minute rule into your life. If you need to do something, but you have absolutely no desire, implement the 10-minute rule into your life. Dedicate at least 10 minutes a day to any task. After some time you will complete the task. Without making a huge effort. After all, 10 minutes fly by very quickly.
  60. Spend a weekend in another city or country.
  61. Have a professional photo session outdoors or in a beautiful studio.
  62. Green your apartment/house. After all, plants make a home more attractive and cozy.
  63. Plan your vacation electronically, make a list of things and necessary documents. IN next year we will save time on planning.

  65. Expand your social circle.
  66. Experiment with sex. Of course, if you are over 18 =)
  67. Try new entertainment(quest room or fear room, jump on a trampoline or something else.
  68. Help people in need. And it doesn’t matter what kind of help it is, charity or just moving a grandmother across the street. The main thing is a responsible attitude to business.

  72. Go camping with tents

  74. Assemble a large puzzle (1000-3000 pieces). You are guaranteed employment for six months. 🙂
  75. Buy a diary for next year. I advise you to buy more than just a diary. And your diary. This is the one you will fill out. To do this, experiment for a year. If you abandon your diary after a week. This is not yours. Don't worry, look further.
  76. Prank your friends on April 1st
  77. Update your wardrobe and change your style.
  78. Go to football and cheer for your favorite team or just look. This is an incredible release of emotions.

  97. Take a trial yoga class.
  98. Go to KVN
  99. Stand in plank position for 5 minutes

In general, there is no end to things to do :) But everything can be overcome, the main thing is that there is a desire.

Useful tips

On the eve of the holidays, many of us make promises to ourselves that we intend to keep in the New Year.

However, there are things that need to be done in the past year in order to complete the old cycle and enter a new one.

Here are 10 important things for the soul and body that are worth doing in last days of the passing year. Take a look at this list and try to complete at least half of them:


To Do List

1. Complete all important tasks



Be sure to finish everything you start.

This is perhaps the most important point on the entire list.

As a rule, by the end of the year we have accumulated a lot of tasks or simply things that we planned to finish earlier, but did not have time to do this due to some reasons.

Don't enter the new year with unfinished business. Firstly, this is a bad omen, but secondly, you yourself will feel better when you know that nothing is pulling you back.

Clearly define all your goals and decide for yourself what you need to accomplish before the holidays. You can write your to-do list on paper and hang it in a visible place so that you can see it more often.

Visualization of plans is the best solution. This is exactly what psychologists say.

Remember, you have a few days left to get things done.

2. Pay off all debts



Whether it's a bank loan or money you borrowed from a friend or colleague, you need to pay off any kind of debt.

The same goes for those who owe you something. It will be better if your debtor pays you off in full. Perhaps it is worth hinting to him that it would not hurt to do this before the start of the new year.

3. Give yourself a little time out



The end of the year is a difficult time also because most of us are burdened with endless and all sorts of deadlines.

We leave the house when it is still dark and return when it is already dark. This cannot but affect our mental and physical health.

In addition, we are trying to finish and resolve all matters before the holidays. Deadlines are always stressful for the human body.

Therefore, at some point it malfunctions, and we feel terrible fatigue, apathy, and may even fall into depression.

To prevent this from happening, you need to think not only about work and study, but also about yourself. Yours state of mind no less important than other aspects of life.

Try to focus on your emotional and mental state. Do whatever relaxes you for at least a couple of hours a day.

This could be a leisurely walk, reading an interesting book, watching your favorite TV series, or meditation. Or maybe you just want to lie on the couch and think about something of your own.

Such breaks are a necessary part of our lives. This way you restore mental balance, as well as physical strength, which has definitely been depleted over the past year.

Important things to do for the New Year

4. Go somewhere you haven't been before



On the eve of the holidays, many are making plans to visit new places in the New Year. What if we implement this plan back in the old year?

A great idea would be to visit a place you haven't been to before. For example, go to a painting master class or visit a new city.

Or maybe there is a skating rink in your city that you have long wanted to visit, but you just never got around to it. Be sure to do this. Set the tone for your visit interesting place back in December, and in the New Year just continue this tradition.

5. Get rid of old things



Enter the New Year not only with clean thoughts, but also with a clean wardrobe.

We are all a little Plyushkina at heart and store things that we will never use. What if you get rid of them without regret?

The end of the year is a wonderful reason to get rid of everything old so that in January you can please yourself with a new purchase!

Review your belongings. Surely unnecessary trousers, blouses or dresses have been gathering dust in your closet for years.

Set them aside, wash them and give them to those who really need them. Think about how many people need help on New Year's Eve. Needy and lonely people especially need our support during the holidays.

Don't forget about the desktop. Be sure to look into it and put things in order.

Dismantling old things and putting things in order is also an excellent psychological trick that helps you put in order not only your home, but also the thoughts in your head.

6. Plan a vacation or trip



What could be more enjoyable than making plans for the New Year? It's especially nice to plan a vacation or weekend to spend in a new place.

Research the route where you would like to go. Check out the most interesting places to visit along your chosen route.

Instagram, Google and other search engines and social networks will come to the rescue, thanks to which you will master the necessary information.

7. Plan an interesting photo shoot



Depending on what you are interested in and what you like, plan a photo shoot. Think over the theme, choose outfits and decorations for the photo shoot. Sometimes the preparation process becomes more interesting than the filming process itself.

To make the photo session especially successful and interesting, involve family members and pets in it.

A photo shoot in December can be a great way to end the year.

The New Year is coming soon, and we all must celebrate it with dignity, without a bunch of old worries and troubles. By following these tips, you will enter the New Year leaving old problems behind and taking the best of this year into the next. So, what do you need to do before the New Year?

There are only a couple of months left before the holiday. In order for the next year to be rich in good events, and for all the problems that torment us today to remain in the past, we must do the following:

1. Throw out all the “junk” from the house

To enter the New Year with cleanliness in the soul and in the house, we do a general cleaning, during which all things that have not been used for a long time, and especially broken ones, are sent to the trash can. Carefully look at every nook and cranny of your house or apartment and get rid of things that you have been meaning to throw away for a long time, but still haven’t done so.

A broken toaster, clothes your children have outgrown, and things you haven’t worn for over a year are “junk” that you need to get rid of and never drag with you into the New Year. In addition, get rid of other people's things that someone may have forgotten at your home: be sure to return them to their owners.

To start the New Year debt-free, find opportunities and be sure to pay off all your debts. This will save you from painful thoughts at the beginning of next year about your debt obligations and will give you the opportunity to calmly and good mood celebrate New Year.

3.Analyze the results of the outgoing year and manage to do this year what has been postponed more than once during this year


To complete this point, you need to devote a little time and, in order to know in which direction to move next year, sum up its results. We sit down comfortably and remember everything significant and important that happened to us this year: new acquaintances, new job, visiting new places.

Now remember something you really wanted to do, but never did. For example, after analyzing the results of the past year, I realized that I never found time to go to the gym, although I really wanted to. What about the unfinished kitchen renovation and the ever-postponed visit to grandma?

I have a little more time in the past year, and I will definitely do it! My first step towards this was purchasing an annual gym membership today. And tomorrow we’re finally going to grandma’s!

4. Thank those people who supported you this year and made it special for you

This must be done, because by saying “thank you” to those people who surrounded you this year, you will understand how dear they are to you. For example, I am very grateful to my daughter for the fact that this year we grew up together, explored the world together and gave each other many bright days and positive emotions. I am also very grateful to my parents, who provided me with maximum support in difficult moments this year. Be healthy and happy, my dears!

5. Forgive your offenders and ask for forgiveness from those people you offended this year


To enter the New Year with a smile on your face and love in your heart, forgive your offenders, and also ask for forgiveness from your loved ones and relatives, to whom you may have said too much in your hearts and thereby offended them. Do this and you will realize that you are surrounded by loving and beloved people who wish only the best for you. This doesn’t have to be done out loud: you can write a letter or talk mentally.

To do this, make a wish card in which you display all your dreams and desires, and make them in New Year's Eve. In the New Year, look at the map every day and set goals to achieve them. If you don’t just look at this card, but take at least some steps to fulfill your desires, believe me, they will definitely come true!

At the end of each year, be sure to analyze which of your wishes have come true, which have not, and what else needs to be done to make them come true. And in this case, the fulfillment of New Year's wishes will not take long!

Have time to prepare for the holiday


What do you absolutely need to do before the New Year? To create a festive atmosphere in your home, think in advance what attributes and actions will help you achieve this. So, don't forget:

1.Buy and decorate a Christmas tree, as well as create New Year's decor interior of your home

What's a New Year's holiday without a Christmas tree? Create an atmosphere New Year's holiday in my house! To get into the New Year mood, be sure to buy and decorate a Christmas tree, and also make New Year's interior decor rooms in your home and you will see how your home acquires a special New Year's atmosphere that guarantees only positive emotions and a good mood.

2.Think over the New Year’s table and a beautiful New Year’s outfit


What can we do for the New Year that will give us pleasant emotions, be remembered for a long time, and these memories will make us happy in the future? It is not necessary for the New Year's table to be bursting with all kinds of dishes, but it is still worth taking care of some New Year's attributes. These are, first of all, tangerines, the notorious Olivier and, of course, champagne, without which you will not experience the New Year holiday.

Concerning New Year's outfit, then a new dress or suit will definitely help create a festive atmosphere and lift your spirits. Therefore, take care of holiday outfits for the whole family in advance.

3. Congratulate all your family and friends on the upcoming New Year


This does not require much time or special effort. Prepare New Year cards congratulations and send it to your loved ones and friends.
