Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and after I recorded episode 192 - minimalist December, I had our weekly coffee chat in my community, where the subject turned to the busy holidays.  And then, the most inspirational thing happened.  One member, C Lee, said next year she’s blocking off a week to get all of her holiday must-do’s done - so she can enjoy the rest of the month.  

She said she’s creating her own Intentional Margin® and blocking off the week after Thanksgiving and through the first week of December to get all of her “holiday chores” done - as she calls them.  

You know, the things like addressing holiday cards, wrapping and shopping and decorating and grocery shopping and planning.  She decided to block off this time in her 2022 calendar to do all of these things so she can relax in the merriment of the holiday season.  I think this is a great idea.  And I think she’s on to something.  We all feel busier than ever during the holiday season, so how can we be proactive and have time, which is usually the thing we value most, to enjoy a little holiday cheer.  

I hope this idea inspires you to look at December 2022 and think about how you would plan your ideal holiday season.   And of course, we are looking for ideas, so I would love to know what you are thinking.  Tag us on social media or send us a DM over @everydayhappinesswithkatie.
