We are now three weeks away from Christmas. Where are you with your holiday planning?
Have you been able to break your task list down and handle a little bit at a time or has life gotten in the way and here you are still scrambling and stressed out about all the things you need to do before the celebrations begin (if they haven’t begun already for you)?
Even if you are just getting started here are some ideas to divide and conquer your holiday task list:
• Review you gift buying list and simplify. Consider purchasing gift cards or giving coupons for tasks or time.
• Set up a wrapping station. Begin wrapping the gifts that need to be mailed.
• Set aside time to address holiday cards or eliminate that task and plan a New Year’s communication.
• Schedule a baking day. Then put it and a grocery trip in your calendar. Recruit helpers for the project. Bake with a friend or relative. Or make arrangement to do a cookie exchange with them.
Ask yourself what is most important to you this holiday season and focus on getting those things done. This can help take some of the stress out of these last few weeks.
