About to Snap like A Christmas Kracker?
The Burnout Queen’s 12 Days of Holiday Stress Relief will help you through.
Day 1: On The First Day Of….Make A List! Make 2!
List everything you have to do, should do, ought to do, would like to do, have promised to do during the holidays. Then get real!
Immediately cross off the ‘shoulds and ought tos’ and then divvy your tasks up with this fabulously simple method.
First: Focus on your ‘Absolute Musts’. These are pretty obvious.
Second: Decide on your ‘Great Ifs’. You know these ones, “Time permitting it would be ‘great if’ I could get to [fill in the blank]”.
Third: [Oh we love these] ‘If onlys’! “If all Santa’s helpers showed-up I could paint my whole house in 2 days time!” And, Mrs. Claus would supply the treats!
Of course Christmas is a magical time, but save the magic for sugar plums and not your To Do list!
It’s good to believe,
