Getting Ready for the Holidays!!!

    The first day of Fall just passed and I'm already talking about the Holiday season? Really?! I know you're thinking "Geez! She's rushing the seasons." 
     Well, it’s like this. I am always behind when it comes to getting ready for the Holidays. Every year I tell myself “This year I’m gonna be on top of it.” And I'm not. The season gets underway and I feel rushed and off-balance. I have that constant stress of feeling like I'm always behind and need to catch up. I get overwhelmed. Mainly because I don’t have a plan of action. It’s amazing how much a plan can help. For me anyways. Probably because I’m ADHD and have a hard time keeping my focus. A plan and/or a checklist really helps me keep on track.

     I was doing some web surfing and I came across a website called Organized Home where there are several getting ready for the Holidays plans. Each plan is designed to fit different needs. I am really excited about finding this website. I don’t have to create a my own plan I’m going to use theirs. I’ll tweak  it to fit my needs but this will be a great starting point.
     I’ve signed up for the email and Facebook prompts to help me stay motivated and started printing out my notebook for the year. Of course, I found this plan after it started so it turns out I’m about 3 weeks behind but I think if I work the current week and fit a past week in at the same time I should be able to catch up.
     I am hoping that by following this plan I will not only be ready for the Holidays but have my home organized and ready for the New Year. I’m not a complete mess when it comes to having my house organized but I’m not exactly in tip-top shape either. I really want to make my space more workable because I tend to have anxiety when I feel overwhelmed and crowded. Maybe this plan will get me motivated. We’ll see. One week at a time.

    I chose to do the Holiday & House Plan to see how that works for me. Let me know which plan you choose and how it’s going for you. I’ll be back with my progress as the weeks go by and look forward to hearing how you are doing. Good luck and have fun!!
