Help! I’ve only got 2 weeks to file my tax return…

You have 2 weeks to file your tax return, so I’ll be brief!

In The Magical Mix of Money & Tax, I discuss how making your accounts a priority is key to filing your tax return with ease (and several months before the deadline), but you don’t have months, you only have 2 weeks…

Therefore, for the purposes of this blog, I’m going to give you some advice I share in both The Magical Mix of Money & Tax and Successful Business Minds.

  • Stop getting distracted by the bright shiny objects.

  • Turn off social media (after you’ve read this blog…)

  • Turn your mobile phone to silent.

  • Delay any work that can wait 2 weeks.

  • Your mental and physical health is crucial when you have a tight deadline so ensure you’re getting plenty of sleep and you’re consuming nourishing foods and drinks.

  • Be disciplined. Stay away from emails until you’ve done what you need to do each day.

  • Remember why this is important (you’ll be fined if late!)

  • Say ‘No’ to everything that will take you further away from filing your tax return by asking “Do I really need to do ‘this’ now?” with everything on your to-do list.

  • Break it down into manageable steps.
