October 31, 2015 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

Would you like to stress less this holiday season? Then start your holiday countdown tomorrow, November 1. Most people don’t even think about the holidays until Thanksgiving or after, but if you want less stress this year, even if you aren’t in the holiday spirit yet, start now.

By breaking tasks into weekly segments you can conquer all the ‘to dos’ for the holiday with ease. It will give you a jump start to a successful holiday.

And if I haven’t convinced you yet, having an eight-week plan will allow you to create a budget, take advantage of seasonal specials, make conscious choices about your commitments, have time to create homemade gifts and provides time to discuss gift giving with others to avoid potential drama or hard feelings.

Guarantee yourself a stress-free holiday this year by implementing my eight-week holiday survival plan. So start tomorrow. And if you would like to receive a free copy of my Holiday Checklist, please contact me.

Clutter Busting: For the Holidays

October 31, 2009 by clutterbusting Leave a Comment

With the holidays fast approaching are you looking forward to them in anticipation or dread? Do you look around the house and wonder how you are ever going to do all the stuff you need to do for your family to have a great holiday season and for you not to be stressed out?

It comes down to attitude and action. Over the next few weeks I will address a variety of topics designed for clutter busting for the holidays.

Are you a pack rat? Do you procrastinate? Are you sentimental about your stuff? Do you not have time?

Clutter busting for the holidays really starts with your mental clutter.

As a first step to clutter busting for the holidays visualize the holiday you want this year. Do you want a large family party or a quiet time at home? Do you want to deck the halls, the stairs, every room and the exterior of the house or is a tree enough?

Once you understand what you want, you can start to look at your beliefs about the holidays and determine which ones still serve you and which you need to discard… or which are mental clutter.

Once you have a clear picture of the holiday you desire, you can then move toward the holidays with anticipation and not fear. This will also set the foundation for the plans and actions that will move you toward a stress free holiday.
