I am determined to not get caught up in the mad holiday frenzy. I’ve already started putting together my shopping lists and making plans regarding what we’ll do for the various holidays. I’m determined to enjoy this season and not stress myself out. To help, I received several great tips from Consider it Done (www.consideritdone.com) a lifestyle management company that organizes and coordinates projects for busy people worldwide.
1) Start early – pull ideas from magazines and catalogs. (Our toy guide should help!)
2) Get organized – make a list by person and/or family.
3) Shop one stop – many stores offer wrapping and shipping so you have one less thing to think about.
4) Ask for help – delegate and outsource when and what you can with personal shoppers and gift wrapping services – such as Consider it Done.
5) Relax and don’t go overboard – keep it fun and do a little at a time…after all it’s the thought that counts!
I hope these tips help to make your holiday season a little saner!
