December is one of the most stressful months of the year – mostly because of all the Holidays and traditions.
But honestly, I don’t believe it was the inventors of the Holidays and traditions’ intention that December should be so stressful… or expensive.
Personally, I love the idea of Christmas, but it makes me icky when I think about how commercial it has become.
It’s one of the reasons why I don’t run sales in my business – I don’t want to tap into the misuse of Holidays. The most primary reason is that I believe it’s only fair that everyone pays the same price for a product and service.
Christmas is supposed to be a celebration of LOVE, not an adult rat race! Here are 5 Ways to make December less Stressful.
#1 – Plan as Much as Possible Ahead.
A LOT of stress can be prevented with good planning!
However, a kilometre-long to-do list and an obsessive need for everything to be perfect is a sure recipe for stress.
I have a rule of having MAX 5 things on my daily to-do list, including my work tasks.
If you can only do, in total, 5 things (private life, household, and work) a day, how would you plan it?
In my case, I count how many tasks there are in one project, and then I plug them into my calendar, so it fits with the max. 5 things to-do list.
It’s really a matter of being realistic with your time and planning from that.
