What if this Christmas you felt completely and totally organized? What if you actually got ahead of your schedule instead of always feeling behind or overwhelmed?
What if all those errands and tasks that normally keep you running during the holiday season are done, leaving you free to actually enjoy the magic of the holidays? What if this was the year you sat down and prioritized the things that are really important to your family and skipped the things that aren’t?
What if you felt calm and at peace and were able to be fully present during all the special moments this holiday season instead of feeling overwhelmed by your to do list?
What if you felt rested instead of exhausted? You actually had time for the fun things liking baking or crafting or just spending time with your family and friends?
What if you were in control of your spending and this is the year you made a budget and really stuck to it?
This can totally be your year! I want to savor this holiday season with my family, to enjoy the special moments, to be fully present for my girls and to actually do all the things I really want to do.
I also have a small business and December is the time of year that I kick things into high gear- planning, organizing and goal setting. I don’t need to be running around to 26 stores looking for a dress for that Christmas party, I need to be home doing things with my family or spending my work time uber-focused on strategizing.
So I have broken down the long to do list that most of us have for the holiday season into small, daily tasks. By getting a jump on all these tasks in the month of October, when things aren’t quite so hectic, you will free up so much of your time and energy to really enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas this year and be on the right path for an amazing 2016!
There are 14 days of tasks with clear homework assignments. You can do these consecutively or try to check a few off over the weekend in batches. Perhaps you break it up and do just a few each week over the next month. Whatever works for you, the key is just getting started! Each task is broken down for you into manageable, bite size pieces to take the overwhelm out of the holiday season.
There are several printables to help keep you organized and on track as well as an at a glance summary of each homework assignment. This takes all the thinking out of planning for the holidays, reduces the stress and allows you to simply plow through a series of tasks so you are setting your family up for success.
If you are ready to take the plunge and commit to making this year the year you really are organized and totally prepared for the holiday season, you can purchase the eBook below.

And if you are also business minded, you might want to pick up Hal Elrod’s book, The Miracle Morning. It outlines his steps to transform your morning routine so you are more productive and efficient.
In the book, Hal shares tips to have the best year ever and says:
If you are really committed to making (2016) the best year you’re ever had, you need to focus now on making the rest of December the best month you’ve ever created.
