Holiday Drains Turned into Gains



Have holidays been on your mind?  Chances are the holidays are not quite on your radar unless perhaps you have recently gone to a crafting store. Crafting stores always are a season ahead.
When you do think about the holidays, are those thoughts cherry and positive or do they tend to drain you? 

Last week's blog post on Turning Drainers into Gainers had helpful tips on becoming a more productive and efficient you.  Let's take the same principals and transfer them to holiday thinking…

Holiday Gainers:
What do you look forward to when it comes to the holiday?

What would you like to do more of during the holidays?
What is your favorite thing about the holidays?


Holiday Drainers:
What takes up most of your time and puts you behind?

What are some things you do for the holidays that you do not really enjoy doing?
What is your least favorite thing about the holidays?


What to do:
RECOGNIZE what causes the most drain in your holidays and take action!   Recognition is step one!  If you can identified your "top holiday drainer" you're on the road to holiday gains!

ORGANIZE a plan of action!  There are four months before Christmas.  Map out a plan of action complete with "finished by" due dates.  A list in your head will not get the job done; top organization specialists would agree!
CELEBRATE small beginnings!  Give yourself a small celebration with each completed action step.  Change comes through taking steps not leaps!


The holiday season should be one of joy and celebration.  
If it is losing its joy, then determine now to do something about it. 
Turn your holiday drainers into gainers.
 
Be sure to keep up with your green cleaning routines.  A clean home can withstand all the hustle and bustle of the holidays when it has a strong routine in place!  You will enjoy your houseguests more if you avoid the mad dash to get your house in order the day or two before they arrive!
