If you’ve followed my blog or emails for any length of time, you know I’m all about organization and planning. But even I don’t start working on a Christmas plan months in advance. That certainly doesn’t mean nobody should. Because for some people it’s something they look forward to all year.
So, some people start their Christmas plan in October.
Last week, I ran across a website from someone like that. And they literally laid out a Christmas plan based on 2 months in advance, 7 weeks in advance, 6 weeks in advance, etc. All the way down to the last days leading up to the big day.
And even though, as I said, I don’t go that far, I couldn’t help but admire their organized attention to details. Like in the last 3 weeks. They laid out a list that included…
- Clean up your house
- Send out Advent calendars
- Put up decorations
- Enjoy some Christmas activities
- Plan the Christmas-day photo
- Mail your Christmas cards
And they pointed out how cleaning way ahead of time prepares you to have a more organized Christmas week. When you send out the Advent calendars, it’s like starting the countdown. And who doesn’t enjoy a good countdown? Then, of course, there’s the whole thing about getting out the ornaments and making your home look Christmas-y. Yeah, even people who don’t live where it snows like a winter wonderland.
There were even some photo ideas. Have you ever tried these?
- Matching pajamas
- Ugly Christmas sweaters
- Plain outfits, with Santa hats
- Dress up your pets in something festive
Ok, I’m definitely not gonna start a new career as a professional Christmas planner. But it IS a great example of how having a plan can help you stay focused and get more done.
And that’s something I can help you with all year long. Christmas is just one day of the year (even if some people focus on it for much longer) and it’s crucial to keep a clear focus on your goals all the other days.
I’d love to talk to you about how I can help you with that. Especially if you’re just starting out in the world of business and work life. Book a free call with me as soon as possible. Your future starts now.
Stay Ready,
Ronda
