The Holidays! For many, this is a time for family, decorations, gatherings, food, and gifts. Fun right? Well, I guess that depends. Are you the one having to plan it all? Are you the celebrated host who gets to spend weeks planning an event followed by days of clean up? Is your fun factor hampered by the stress of having too much to do? Not this year! This year is going to be fun because the i spa team has the recipe for a stress-free holiday. Check out our power tips for a cheerful season: 1. Make ListsWe know that not everyone is a fan of lists. However, in busy times a list can be a powerful tool to help get things done in a timely manner. Lists that can be helpful during the holidays include:
2. Create A Realistic ScheduleHow many times have you found yourself saying “I didn’t think that was going to take that long!”. We tend to underestimate how long it takes us to do things. From cooking a dish, hemming a skirt, or getting ready to go to out, be realistic of how long it will take you. Then look at your list of things to do. Based on your realistic time estimates, can you get it all done in the time you planned? If it’s tight, move things around, or better yet, get some help!
3. Delegate, Delegate, DelegateYes, we’re sure you can do the tasks on your list better than anyone else. And certainly, it feels easier to do it yourself than teach someone else. It doesn’t matter, it’s time to delegate! Line up willing friends and family and not-so-willing spouses and teach them some skills! The holidays are busy enough; this is not the time to take on the world.
4. Take Care of YouWith some planning and help, the holidays can be low stress…even…joyful! If you start feeling overwhelmed ask yourself: Does this really need to happen? Can we skip this task or event this year? Can we replace this with something simpler? |
