Every year we host a Christmas party at our place with around 30 of our closet friends. And each year it gets a little more fun (#hectic) as more kiddies enter the mix. So, this time I'm vowing to be a little more laid-back and a lot more organised in my preparations. Enter the party planner checklist!
Hi everyone, it's great to be back on the blog after a week away. As I talked about in my last post, my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful break in New Zealand for our friends' wedding. New Zealand is such a gorgeous place, have you ever been? We were staying in Queenstown, and it was just stunning. I would highly recommend putting it on your list of places to visit!
The kids had a fantastic time at home with both sets of our parents - we are so lucky to have the ability to go away and know our children are in safe hands. Despite missing them like crazy, it was just amazing to have so much one-on-one time. I always love a break from our everyday schedules, household chores and general busyness, but to have a complete break from parenthood was a pretty crazy feeling. Let's just say the wine was WELL enjoyed, especially at the wedding :) But I'm here today to talk about our holiday planning and personal goal setting.
Do you want to become a more organised person? Sometimes starting the whole process can be overwhelming, and it's difficult to know where to begin. Being organised isn't something that magically just happens, it is a skill you need to continually work at. I am always making lists, pre-preparing, doing weekly/monthly/yearly decluttering sessions.... it's definitely an ongoing process.
Did you know that paperwork has to have a specific 'flow' in order for it to move effectively through your home and prevent paperwork build-up? It must have an entry point, a designated place to 'deal' with it, and an exit point. Paper clutter can be a huge cause of stress for many people, so if you're wanting to get organised in your home, tackling this area is a great first step. Here's how I did it!
I often get told by friends, family and clients that they would love to be more organised but just don't have the time to get onto it. So, I wanted to share with you just some of the ways that being organised is a huge time-saver, as well as cutting down on money, stress and effort, just by putting in that bit of extra effort up-front. I'll go into more detail about how to get yourself more organised in an upcoming post. But to get you feeling motivated, here are some of the huge benefits of being an organised person...
