Checking in on your Christmas organization

Thomas Nast santa

Even with Thanksgiving happening in two days, we are thinking Christmas still. I talked a lot about Christmas organization, even going so far as to post a big list suggesting easy (well, maybe) ways to prepare yourself for the Christmas holiday season. Where are you on it?

If you have down time (I will pause for a moment to give you time to laugh yourself silly), take a minute to read over the list and take mental inventory. If nothing else, running a list in your head will often help calm the chatter. Hey, I am list maker from way back. If I can make a list, the panic goes away. Now, whether I do anything about the list is a different matter - but by golly, that list gets made and the panic recedes.

So if you are reaching Mach 9 on the panic stage about everything you have to do, stop. Have a rest. Make a list. Give yourself five minutes of intentional downtime. Gather your thoughts. Then pick it up and go again. It will help. I promise.
