You know, I didn't think I had a lot to say, but apparently I might!!  :-)

Organizing for the holidays now??

10/30/2018

I just attended a seminar that was talking about the virtue of being organized.  As a realtor, it's imperative that I be organized.  Think of all the pieces that go into a real estate transaction, if it's not all organized and at my fingertips, my clients may not close on time!  We can't have that.

But in my personal life?  Tomorrow is Halloween, and I've got my candy bought and in the bowl and ready to hand out.  But then I saw this article by Apartment Therapy, and it just blew my mind.  My life is so busy with my clients and my family, and here they're telling me I need to get ready for the holidays?!?!?  It's not even Halloween yet.

After my initial temper tantrum about not wanting to and 'I'm not ready', I thought about it. In 3 weeks it's Thanksgiving.  Then 4 weeks later it's Christmas.  So I guess they're right, it is right around the corner.  

So I signed up for their newsletter, and you know what?  It's not horrible and it's helpful.  Day 1 was write down everyone you should be buying a gift for.  I spent 10 minutes with my phone's notepad and typed in everyone I thought I wanted a gift for.  I can do 10 minutes, AND as I've been out and about, I saw a gift for someone on my list.  I debated about picking it up (and didn't), but it's not something that will be a "Black Friday" thing, and now I'm thinking I may go back and pick it up. One gift (about to be) checked off the list!!

It's only 10 days long so I won't spoil it for you.  I'm on Day 6 now, and I am really glad I signed up for it. So I'm passing this on to say "Get Organized!"

​Here's wishing you a stress-free holiday season!
