Coffee Chat - It's Time for the Holiday Blitz!

Organize 365 Podcast

I realized as I got older and started putting the holidays together for my family that something was off. Why didn’t I get “all the feels” during the holiday season? I was putting up all the decorations like my mother had for years. I had all the different foods on the table for Thanksgiving. The kids had plenty of presents. In 2012, I was able to completely turn my life around until I got to November and December.

Candy! Candy! Candy!

I remember my sister and I watching the Halloween edition of Garfield and he’d say “Candy! Candy! Candy!,” then my sister and I would go around the house saying the same. I have a lot of memories of the holidays and I was doing #allthethings yet something was off.

Then it dawned on me. I was so busy trying to have everything be perfect that I didn’t realize some of the things I did, no one noticed or cared about. Not because they had hearts of stone, but it just wasn’t what made the holidays special. I finally interviewed my family to find out what made each holiday special for them which allowed me to not put some tasks on my list for that holiday. Once I did that, I found I enjoyed the holidays much more. I actually had time to enjoy them, too. And that’s what I want for you too with the Holiday Blitz.

Secret Trick

Before you have planned the Thanksgiving meal and planned out the December holiday of your choice…do the blitz. Get the worksheets and watch the videos to intentionally optimize your holidays so you too can enjoy them. If they don’t see it, they don’t mention it, then you don’t have to do it!

Holiday Blitz Options

You can register now for the FREE Holiday Blitz. In the blitz, you will plan the holidays. You will interview people attending your celebrations to make sure you are spending your energy on tasks that will make them feel warm and fuzzy. You can weed out what you no longer need to do.

There are two add ons this time around. The first one is the Holiday Blitz Bundle that includes Sapphire Blue and Hunter Green Sunday Basket®s and a set of 1.0 Rainbow Slash Pockets. You will use the Sapphire Sunday Basket® for next year to give your regular Sunday Basket® some relief. And Your Hunter Green Sunday Basket® will be for all your holidays, like ideas, recipes, and receipts. The really cool thing is the slash pockets you use for the holidays will go into your Household Operations Binder until next year when you can pull it out, refresh your memory, and enjoy the holidays again.

And there’s a Mini Holiday Planning Day. I will show you how to really break it down. You’ll learn my secrets about Black Friday and how I shop it; and it’s live with me! Don’t worry, there will be a replay available until January 1st! Your holidays will be so optimized and you will save money too! So tell your family and friends to join you; heck if someone with a pulse walks by…invite them, too! I want everyone to enjoy the holidays like our families get to.
