5 Micro-Planning™ Tips to Your Best December Ever (So You Don't Lose Your Mind)!
032 Here are my top Micro-Planning™ tips to enjoy and prep for the December holiday season! Set vision and boundaries for the month: Recognize that you can create a different rhythm for Dec. Proactive vs. reactive How do you want to feel Jan. 1? Refer to Trailer, 5 Yrs in 5 Min. Beware of depression What is best for your family?  Consider how to transfer family values in this season. What memories do you want to have created? What traditions do you want to start, con't or end? Relationship building things:  puzzles, games, sports, outings.   Release unhealthy, self-imposed expectations. Discuss with partner and kids (family meeting!) Clearly and kindly communicate your boundaries to others. Travel or not travel - this may be best to communicate far in advance. Say, "No": Learn the most effective, least painful way to say, "No," in my 7 Day Challenge Outsourcing/Delegating: Martyr syndrome:  You do not need to do everything. Consider outsourcing just for Dec. Grocery delivery Cleaners Personal assistant or virtual assistant Gift wrapping: partner, kids or neighborhood teen Additional babysitters/childcare/mothers helper USPS ships packages from home; will mail you boxes and stamps (for free, I think!) Cater holiday food:  Costco, Boston Market This may need to be done in advance.  Micro-Planning™/Scheduling: List all activities you want to do. Invite input from partner and kids. FOMO/Margin Be willing to cancel. Plan your month. Meal planning for each week. Gifts: Keep lists in phone throughout the year: Wish lists for kids Gifts bought for others list Gifts for your kids: Consignment sales; shop year round Set the bar low by starting with just 3-5 gifts. Universal Amazon wish list. If you have excess, re-gift gifts. Pull out 1 gift a week or over breaks and summer. Rotate toys. Use as an excuse to get rid of a bunch of stuff to make room for incoming gifts. Gifts for others: Order online. Avoid waiting until the last minute to avoid going to stores. Decorations: Invite a friend or two without children over to decorate. Such a blessing to people who don't have little kids. Such a blessing for the adults! Frozen lasagna for dinner. Simplify, especially when kids young. Tablecloth Cloth napkins Value based decorations: Wooden/magnetic advent calendar Nativity scene Kick 2020 off right!!
