Project: Seasonal Simplicity



Merry {days after} Christmas!  I’m not sure if you’re like me but the holiday was filled with fun, festivities, and much merriment.  But it was also filled with frustration, crankiness, and little sleep.  Every year I tell myself that “next year will be different” and while every year I do make some minor improvements the overall experience is about the same.  But next year WILL BE different.  About two weeks ago I started thinking about how I could make some bigger changes with the goal of really enjoying more of the holiday magic and less stress.  Here are a few things I’ve come up with. 

-          Breaking down the major tasks into each month
-          Using the Christmas Gift app to keep track of all of my gift ideas
-          Organize an area in our basement to support all for the holidays
-          Develop a calendar for next Nov/Dec to spend more time on “experiences” than tasks

I feel like if I can follow these steps … next year has to be better, right???
