Do not be that person who dropped everything and left the cleaning up for others to do. If you do so, you may burn bridges with your ex-colleagues and bosses, whom you may meet in the future if you stay in the same industry. It will also affect your future job searches should your potential employer call your company as part of their vetting process. Instead, do yourself a favour and offer assistance where possible without taking on more responsibilities during your notice period.
