After a busy few months at the end of the year and a rush of online sale orders, January is always a bit quiet for me. I don’t trade at events until later in the month and online orders generally slow down as people wait for their first payday after Christmas, so I use this time to crack on with the work I don’t have time for during the busy season; the behind the scenes jobs that support everything else. For me, this is the month for admin and maintenance.
Swipe to see what I’ll be focussing on over the next couple of weeks and save this for later if you want a list of useful January jobs in one place!
It’s not glamorous work and it’s definitely not instagrammable, but it’s the stuff that makes the rest of the year run smoothly, and future you will be very grateful you did it 🤍
