What a difference it makes when all that stuff you think you need is no longer here. Amanda was so pleased with you describe and in her words, “living organized” is the best way to living happy within your household or business. Thanking you again, Ron and Amanda Gaston |
Thanks for all that you did in helping me recover important items and documents from my flood in the spring. I really appreciate how you arrived on time and got right to it. I was so overwhelmed and frustrated with the mess and felt a sigh of relief once we got started. I would be thrilled to refer people to you. Thanks again! Michelle Main, SendOutCards |
A Very Merry Christmas in 4 Easy Steps... |
|
Although the weather may not feel like Christmas is close – it really is and… the crunch is on to get it all done!
Here are 4 easy steps to help you to have a Christmas to remember:
Step #1: Make a List! Its last minute but what would really make your holiday memorable? Examples: host an open house for friends and neighbours (there is still time – most people have their work events out of the way by mid-month); volunteer for a Christmas Charity; complete your shopping one week early. Step #2: Check it Twice… Now, choose your top two. I say “two” because it’s much better to do a few things well than it is to do many things hurried. List the Tasks that need to be done. Break them into mini tasks. i.e. pick up decorations, purchase or create invitations and so on. Step #3: Mark Your Calendar. Find out the dates of what’s happening when and put them on your calendar. Make sure there’s time for everything. Schedule similar activities together; grouping tasks by location will minimizing the time you spend running back and forth. Step #4: Manage your time. Allow yourself enough time to complete tasks in plenty of time. So when you run into life’s hiccups (weather, full parking lots, long line ups, etc.) you can easily overcome them as you have time to manage them. A good rule of thumb for Christmas time is to give yourself an extra 25% more time than you would normally to complete a task. And remember; get those cards out to arrive on time. |
