Welcome back to When Dreams & Action Collide! A couple of months ago I launched the Get It Together at Home series, where we dove into practical strategies for clearing clutter, managing meal prep, transforming schedules, and rebooting routines. With the holiday season upon us, I’m excited to bring you a couple of Holiday Editions to help navigate these areas during this hectic but joyful time.
In this episode, I’ll guide you through how to simplify your holiday calendar and routines, so you can stay energised—even with the added bustle of Christmas parties, kids’ concerts, family gatherings, and festive outings. We’ll cover how to map out the next couple of months for a big-picture view, putting "must-have" events in pen and keeping optional events flexible. I’ll show you how to spot pockets of downtime for rest, creating essential "white space" that makes a packed season feel manageable. This way, you can enjoy the busy weekends more fully, knowing you've carved out moments to recharge.
We’ll also talk about adapting routines to holiday demands. Instead of trying to stick to the usual schedule, find ways to simplify routines without sacrificing what matters to you. Shorten your morning or evening routine by focusing on the essentials, or try a modified version of your meal routine by incorporating easy meals or meal services. By scaling down in certain areas, you’ll create space for the seasonal activities you truly want to enjoy—like baking cookies with the kids or unwinding at a holiday gathering.
This season doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! Join me as we dive into practical tips to keep things simple, intentional, and joyful. Don’t forget to subscribe to get notified about next week’s episode, where we’ll tackle pre-holiday decluttering and gift-giving tips to make this time even more enjoyable and stress-free. Let’s make this holiday season a little lighter and a lot more meaningful!
