Welcome to this week's issue of Weekly Simplicity Tips. And a big, warm welcome to the new subscribers from Pinterest. And yes, there will be a declutter calendar for 2012. I got lots of questions on that this week :) I'm working on it now.

I found these cute printable gift tags on Pinterest.

Are you noticing the seasonal joys right now? It's no fun, if it's all about work. This weekend we saw the Lakeshore Chorus do a Christmas concert. Definitely put us in the spirit. And then we drove around to look at all the lights.

The Gifts of Waiting

"When you are waiting for a train, don’t keep perpetually looking to see if it is coming. The time of its arrival is the business of the conductor, not yours. It will not come any sooner for all your nervous glances and your impatient pacing, and you will save strength if you will keep quiet. After we discover that the people who sit still on a long railroad journey reach that journey’s end at precisely the same time as those who "fuss" continually, we have a valuable piece of information which we should not fail to put to practical use." - Anna C. Brackett

Simple Holiday Plan PLUS Simple Annual Plan Bundle

Do you want a holiday plan that doesn’t have you do a million things you just don’t have time for?

I’ve tried the holiday plans that are online. But, I never finished them. Having simplified my Christmas I didn’t use many of the parts of those plans. And they just made me feel guilty.

Would you like a simpler holiday plan?

I created a plan that I use to keep my holidays organized without overwhelming me.

Plan includes:

• a checklist for each week
• simple steps to take to create the holiday you want
• short cuts and simplifications for many holiday tasks
• questions to help you decide what is important to you and your family
• worksheets and forms

Bundle it with the Simple Annual Plan to help plan your year ahead.

Simple Holiday Plan PLUS the Simple Annual Plan Bundle

Your Simpler Life Bundle

1. Set an alarm for stopping time when you watch TV, surf the internet, play computer games or anything else you have a hard time quitting.
2. Put things away that belong in other rooms using a laundry basket.
3. Unstuff a drawer that has become difficult to open.
4. Clear off your work space before you begin working.
5. When you have a to do idea, put it on a sheet of paper for later instead of bouncing right over to the new idea.
6. Take a break from shopping to catch up on a little reading.
7. Deliberately take time to enjoy something about the season.

I help the overwhelmed create saner, simpler lives. I deliver...

Untamed possibility. Breathe easier simplicity. Hope.
On the wings of understanding and encouragement.
Step by step breaking down from “no way! “ to “why not?”

I’ve helped people declutter & organize, lose weight, learn to manage time, gain self-confidence, learn to focus, practice self care and simplify their lives so they can do what’s most important to them and their family. I love giving hope to people that come to me thinking it can’t be done. I was not born organized, I’ve had to learn the skills. Things like overcoming perfectionism and procrastination. And knowing what is for dinner before 5pm.
