The year 2025 is all but done, and in a few days, we will be in 2026. Usually, at this time of year, people have mixed feelings, from excitement about the new year to dissatisfaction with not achieving specific goals set for the current year.

If you have these mixed feelings, you are not alone. However, it is important to note that every year, you win some and lose some. Regardless, I have a few things to suggest to you to do before the end of 2025. Keep reading to find out.

Finishing 2025 Strong: 5 Things You Should Do

As the year winds down, this is a good time to take stock and evaluate yourself, your team, and your processes. You must have set goals earlier this year, both personally and for your team. This is a good time to sit back and reflect on what worked and what didn’t. While there’s a temptation to get carried away by the cares of this period, here are five things I suggest you do to help you finish the year strong:

  • Evaluate your goals: Whether you set personal, professional, or team goals at the beginning of the year or at any time during the year, evaluating your progress is paramount. It gives you a picture of where you are currently. You may need to take a few days to do this. While at it, be blunt and honest with yourself so you can make the proper judgment.

  • Celebrate wins: Watch out for your wins all through the year. Which goals did you achieve? What milestones did you cover? Write them down, and give yourself kudos for each one. Doing this gives you motivation for the new year.

  • Highlight areas for improvement: No matter how hard you have tried, there are likely a few areas for improvement. If you are honest with yourself, you should find these out. Write down each of these areas and come up with objective steps to help you make improvements.

  • Show appreciation to your team: No man is an island. Through all that you have achieved this year, you can testify that you had some help. Take some time to celebrate your team. You can do this by sending them holiday packages or simple “Thank you” notes. No matter how little, people appreciate such gestures.

  • Set goals for 2026: The new year is fast approaching, and this is a good time to set the tone. Write down your goals for 2026, and for each goal, create steps to help you achieve them. If you have a team, you should work with them so everyone is carried along with your vision.
