Today we're talking about managing holiday overwhelm through organizing. There’s a ton of stuff to do, and when people tell us to slow down and just enjoy the season… yeah right! There’s stuff to do, and we’re going to get it done!
Yes, I’m one of those people. Today I want to share some organization tips for making sure you get done what you need to through this extra-busy season through 4 simple steps:
1. Brainstorm (write down everything you know you need to do)
2. Identify your projects (what has multiple steps, and what are those steps?)
3. Schedule stuff (not everything!!)
4. Prioritize (yeah, I know, it doesn’t seem like this should be the last step, but I have a reason… trust me).
This is what works for me, so I’m hoping it will help someone else out too. It may not help you to bite off more than you can chew (I can’t help it, I just keep saying “yes” to new projects), but it will help you to deal with what you already have to do!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
