Welcome to this week's tips
As you can see I have been playing around with a new newsletter. Not quite done yet. But, this should make it easier for those on mobile devices. I also am working on updating my webpage, writing my decluttering ebook and creating the 2015 Declutter Calendar. Plus I have 2 performances and 1 recording for the Messiah, 1 choir concert and a voice recital. Planning is vital this month. Thankfully I have simplified my Christmas enormously.

If you want to have a simple holiday I have my Simple Holiday Plan. It's on sale bundled with my Simple Annual Planning Program.

Along with much of the United States, we got hit with an early snowstorm, setting records for snow fall and cold.
Weekly Simplicity Tips
  1. What are you procrastinating on? What is the smallest step you can take to make progress? Can you do it now?
  2. Decide to use cash only this holiday season. Anything on credit gets paid off at the end of the month.
  3. You know that thing you are dreading doing today, but are putting it off? It is sucking the energy right out of you. Get it done and you will feel you can do anything today!
  4. Take just 3 things from your to do list that need to get done today. Do those. Then you can go down the rest of your list.
  5. Make a list of what you would like to complete by the end of the year. You can share it at the Facebook page.
  6. If you usually only use an electronic calendar, print out a calendar for December with all the events on it and post it as a reminder.
  7. Write down things you have loved about 2014. This can be a quick letter to include in cards if you'd like or on your Facebook page.
