With just five weeks until 2011 draws to a close, it's time to review all those tech-related things you're yet to get done.

Remember how you started the year full of energy and enthusiasm? You had plans about how you'd streamline your work days, get rid of unnecessary processes, and be a more productive person, right? Did you make it? Maybe ... maybe not.

For those of us whose to-do lists are still bulging as we enter the start of the silly season, it might be worth contemplating some things we could to that will ensure we're ready to face 2012 head on.

Here are some suggestions:

* Bone up on cloud computing: It's been the hottest tech topic of the year and potentially touches every area of work. Take a little while to figure out how the cloud could make your work life more efficient

* Investigate teleworking: The technology is now mature and cost effective. Plan to reduce your travel and improve use of time in 2012.

* Embrace mobility: Sure, we're all carrying smart phones, tablets and notebooks, but are we making the most of them? Take an audit of the devices you carry and figure out whether the mix is right for your needs. Swapping one device for another could help boost productivity.

* Ease back on the social networking: Everyone likes to share things, but over-sharing can become a problem. Those photos of you at the office end-of-year party might just come back to haunt you in the cold, grey light of January.

So, has anything else made it onto your end-of-year to-do list yet?
