Home Organization Christmas Tip #6

Errands & Shopping Solutions

Everything that needs to get done during the holiday season can quickly become overwhelming. So many to-do’s, so many places to be! How to get it all done on time? Whenever I start to have so many things that I need to do floating around in my head, I know it’s time to make a list. There is something very comforting about having it donewn on paper and out of my head, I know I’m not going to forget to do something if it’s down on paper. We are all so busy, even throughout the rest of the year, there is no reason you should have to rely on your memory for everything. We’ve got enough in our heads already!

Here are some ways that you can get organized and stay on top of your to-do list:

Buy yourself a bright colored folder and make that your Christmas folder for your lists and recipes so they aren’t floating around in piles. No digging!
Make several lists: Menu, grocery, gifts you need to buy, errands you need to run. Keep them in the folder ready to grab when you are heading out the door.
Shop during the week if at all possible to avoid the really long lines and full parking lots.
Online shopping anyone? Enjoy sitting in the comfort of your own home any time of the day or night, click, pay,ship,done! Take advantage of free shipping wherever you can.
Cut back on how many gifts you are going to buy and how many people you are going to buy for.

Stay organized this holiday season and make your errands and shopping trips less stressful!
