Friday Feature: Holiday Stress

Holidays are fun, but they can also be stressful. Lots to do, lots of people to see, and often not enough time to do everything, especially up to the level we might want to. If we want to enjoy the holidays -- and stay healthy in the process -- it's important to find ways to manage stress.

If you're one of those fabulous planners who's feeling all excitement and no stress this holiday season, congratulations! You can tuck this infographic away for future reference. Just in case.

Meanwhile, enjoy the holiday season -- the ups, the downs, the lights, the decorations, the food and the celebrations.

Stress free.

Saturday Special: Marcia Ramsland's Simplify Your Holiday Season

organizingpro.com/holidays

As I've mentioned before, there are a few organizing experts whose work I particularly like. One of those is Marcia Ramsland, whose book I picked up almost by accident at a local discount store. It was love at first read, particularly when it came to time management concepts.

Though I like all of Marcia's information, one thing I especially remember about her books is that she  devoted chapters to the organizing projects and organizing for holidays. This month, her Facebook page is like the intersection of Christmas Avenue and Organization Street, complete with resources and lots of pretty pictures. And, since they're Facebook posts, it's easy to scroll through even if you have only a few minutes.

Just what I needed. Another excuse to hit Facebook.
