Get Ready for the Holidays - They're Almost Here!

As November nears, it's hard not to think about the Holidays that are almost upon us.

Personally, I love the Holidays! The festive decorations, the beautiful lights, school performances, the gift of giving, helping those that are less fortunate than me, and the extra time I get to spend with my family and friends really make me happy.

I really like the champagne too! :)

Doesn't it seem like all of the years parties, celebrations, and the fifty family functions seem to happen all in the month of December?

How do we keep up with everything we have yet to get done? We write lists, we get organized, we commit and sometimes we over commit. Even though its hard to get it all done, we some how find a way to do it ALL and do it WELL.

We do it all because we are women! It's what women do best. We say "yes" to everyone, and we want do to everything we can to have as much fun as possible.

When I find myself thinking of things I need to get done, as I mention in my book Read Between the Lines, I just send myself a text that lists the things I need to do that day. Then, I don't delete the text until I've completed the task(s) I've assigned myself.

Since a text is a lot like a Post-it note on steroids, this method makes me feel super organized, and accomplished at the end of each day.

Give it a try - and let me know if this little tip helps you manage your to-do lists of your "life's little reminders" over the upcoming Holiday months.
