Which tools help you close tasks faster?

:christmas_tree: Only 3 days left until Christmas.
That moment when deadlines suddenly feel louder, boards look heavier, and every task becomes urgent - especially the ones that almost made it.

You open your monday board, trying to figure out what can still be finished before the holidays and what will inevitably slip into the next year. Statuses look familiar: Work on it, On hold, Review. Everything seems to be moving - yet something still feels risky.

Because when Christmas is just around the corner, the real question isn’t who is working.
It’s how long work has already been waiting.

Some tasks have been sitting in Work on it for days.
Others bounced between On hold and Review more times than anyone remembers.
And without clear visibility into time, it’s hard to tell which items are truly close to being done, and which ones only look that way.

This is exactly where Time in Status for monday.com becomes especially useful.

Instead of relying on gut feeling during the final countdown, Time in Status shows:

  • how long each task has spent in every status,
  • how many times it moved back and forth between stages,
  • and where time quietly stretches as deadlines approach.

With this clarity, decisions become calmer.
You can spot risks earlier, adjust priorities realistically, and focus attention where it actually matters - while there’s still time.

Because when there are only 3 days left, visibility can make the difference between almost done and actually done.
