January is the planning phase of the year. As people slowly trickle back into work, those who want to set themselves up for success should come in with goals in mind. This was the topic of discussion in this episode of Business Accelerator, with hosts Alex Whitlock and Jason Back. Here, the importance of housekeeping was promoted, as regularly maintaining small tasks, like social media or CRM updates, prevents overwhelming workloads later.

The pair also emphasised the effectiveness of focusing on daily, manageable habits, rather than long-term, overwhelming goals. January should serve as a time for reflection and planning for a chaotic year ahead.
