Holiday Planning Printables (Step 2)

Welcome to step 2 in the 12 Steps to Christmas Sanity Challenge hosted by myself and Liz from Hoosier Homemade. In this step, we're going to use two holiday planning printables to make game plan for the holidays. First, you can download the December monthly calendar. I would recommend that you start by writing anything you have scheduled like Christmas parties, cookie exchanges, travel, etc. This will help ensure that you don't forget anything and will help you see when you have the most time available to work on projects. Next, you can download the master holiday prep list. This is a place where you can write down everything you need to do. After you've written your tasks, go back to the day column and assign a day to complete them. If you want to take it a step further, you can even write the tasks on the calendar. I recommend keeping the master prep list handy so you can add to it anytime you think of something that needs to be done. You will feel so much more relaxed knowing that all your to-do's are written down and scheduled, and you don't have to keep track of them floating around in your head.
