Your holiday- Simplified!
Q: My schedule is so busy this season - I can't seem to keep up with holiday preparations. Any thoughts?
A: As a professional organizer, I suppose I could share some tips on advance preparations and checklists to keep it all under control. However, it's mid-December, so it may be a little late for that. I suggest you consider acceptance.
Evaluate how your life has changed and why you are are so busy. Accept those changes and the idea that doing a little less to celebrate the holiday will help you enjoy the holiday more with your family.
Kids, work, volunteerism, caregiving, etc are just a few reasons why families are so busy today. Then you add the laundry list of tasks that are typically expected during this season such as decorating, cookies, party hosting, cards, shopping and wrapping. No wonder, we can't keep up.
When it comes to clutter, I often tell my clients : "we can all live with a little less". I believe, this concept can translate to the holiday season as well.
Wishing all Patch readers a season filled with joy!!!
Getting Your Life in Order!
