1st Year Analyst Bonus Advice

I know it's a while away from July/August, but do second-year analysts / current associates have any suggestions on how to impress in the weeks/months leading up to the decision?

I guess what I'm wondering is whether the decision is based holistically on year-round performance or if the most recent months carry more weight since it's just fresh in people's minds.

I have been giving it my all these past few months. I know there's room for improvement always but I am trying to have as positive of an attitude as possible around my team and be as helpful as I can.
