I mostly make reminder lists for myself rather than to do lists. I remind myself of an appointment I have or to pick up some one or to go to an event. Those are the kind of lists I make. Glad you are taking time to breathe Susan.
This year I have more lists than usual. A big crowd coming to our house with some overnight guests. So I'm making my lists and checking them twice. It helps keep me on track and I love when the check marks indicate a task or purchase to make is completed.
Good word about taking time to deep breathe. I know it really does help!
I went to lunch yesterday - at one of my bible study gals - okay her house is huge - she must have at least ten trees up and everything else is decorated to the hilt with nice decorations. It takes her 6 weeks straight to put them up!
I feel exactly the same. As the day wears on, I don't try to get it all done. I know when to rest. I am always revived in the morning and energized to start anew.
I do! But they're just guidlines. We made Christmas very simple the last 2 years and that has given me less stress and I'm having more fun. We do not exchange gifts in our family. We may surprise each other with lunch or a Christmas ornament. But no more need less spending and searching for the perfect gift. And I am having so much fun! I hope your season is great! Kit 🎄
