#136 - Ten Ideas for a Holiday Reset

19 minutes

We have one week until Christmas, and it might already be time for a reset. No matter how intentional we are, how much margin we create, things surprise us. And that’s okay and normal and we’ll all be fine. Here are ten tips for a reset in case you need one.

Stuff Mentioned

A few crowdsourced Lazy Genius holiday traveling road trip tips. Make that trip to visit grandma enjoyable from the first mile through pulling back into your driveway. And here's a companion episode for holiday road trips.

I’ve put my favorite Christmas albums and nine mood-based holiday playlists I had the most fun making for you in this blog post.

Here’s a helpful episode about creating traditions for the holidays or for everyday life.

Netflix has a show that’s just a fireplace burning. Bonus: You have control of the volume of the crackle.

All of my baking-related podcast episodes: The Lazy Genius and Holiday Baking, The Lazy Genius Bakes Cookies, The Lazy Genius Bakes Bread, and Lazy Genius Baking with Jamie Golden.

Read this before you get started so your holiday baking will involve as little murder as possible.
