Organizing With You Tip of the Week: Planning for the Holidays

by Pooja Gugnani

Start planning for the holiday early—at least a month in by filling out a centralized holiday calendar for the weeks leading up to, during and after the holiday. Write everything from travel plans, guest arrival days, holiday parties, and work events.  Make sure to block off time for shopping and holiday cooking, just so you don't miss anything. Also, don’t forget to mark a few “off” days to rest and enjoy.
