Christmas: Are you a Tigger or Scrooge?



My husband is gearing up to put the Christmas tree up in his office this weekend.   His enthusiasm for all things Christmas knows no bounds.   Our house looks like Christmas threw up in it and it takes all his restraint to wait until December 1st.   One year I came home from a business meeting and the tree was up, garland on the banister, the entire shooting match - it was November 1st!   He was like Tigger bouncing up and down on his Holiday High.

I on the other hand am a little more in the “Ebenezer Scrooge” category.  While I like the season, for me, the holidays create a little bit of stress and anxiety. 

The abundance of tasks on my “To Do” list increases dramatically and I can get overwhelmed at the enormity of it all unless I take the time to chunk it into smaller pieces and map it out on my schedule.

The list never seems to end
·        menu planning
·        party planning,
·        choosing the perfect gifts,
·        baking,
·        getting ready for guests,
·        extra clean up
·        still running all the rest of my regular life tasks, etc….

I sometimes would prefer to skip the season all together. 

Okay, so maybe not altogether but if the tree went up Christmas and came down Boxing Day, I would be a happy camper (happy elf).

With all the additional cleaning, the setting up of decorations, baking, meal planning, getting the guest room ready and buying gifts.   It can all be too much for even the most hearty holiday fan!

In that light, I wanted to do something very special this year to try and help not just myself and my one-on-one clients get through the season, but also help those of you who follow Adventures In Organizing.ca on the Blog, Facebook, @OrganizeYourLif on Twitter and for those we work with virtually around the world.

I created and am launching a very special,  just for you 




... what on earth is that you ask???

Well, I have cleared my calendar and dedicated an entire weekend just for you!  I am going to play along as well and together we are going to get the house in order and check off a bunch of tasks on our organizing “To Do” lists.  The weekend is scheduled to not only help us all get ready for Christmas but also so our US friends can get ready for Thanksgiving which lands the following week.

The “Get Organized in a Weekend Bootcamp” will play out like this:

The fun begins on Friday evening November 22 at 6 pm EST
The evening will start with a live webinar, outlining the weekend, and send you off on your first set of missions.
We will check back in at 8:45 pm for a Q&A and ensure everyone is cued up for Saturday.
ON Saturday we continue the fun bright and early.   This week will be all about accomplishments and successes.
The day will run from 9AM UNTIL 9 PM
At 9 am on Saturday morning, we will meet back live on the webinar, have some training and tutorial time and establish the goals and missions for the morning.   After the webinar you will implement the missions (there will be worksheets and checklists to help you get through the tasks.)
At noon, we meet back on the webinar, have some Q & A time, discuss the plan for the afternoon and you can share any photos of your success with the group.
The afternoon will be spent working on the missions outlined at noon.
At 5pm we will break for dinner so we can all reconnect with our families.
        
After dinner, we meet live at 6PM on the Webinar to Outline the evening events, share any photos, Q & A and then you will be sent off to complete your final mission for the day.
Saturday evening we have a short wrap up party live on the Webinar at 8:45 to discuss your successes and to briefly outline tomorrow.
And then on Sunday, the final day of our Bootcamp will begin again at 9am with a Webinar to review Saturday’s success, establish the outline of Sunday's goals and missions and you will have the opportunity for Q&A as well.
Your morning will then be spent accomplishing your organizing missions until we will meet back on the Webinar at noon. 
Sunday afternoon will then be spent further accomplishing your goals and missions for the day and you will break at 5PM for dinner.
The evening will begin again at 6 PM with your evening mission and Q & A period.
The wrap up of the weekend will be, Sunday evening, where we wrap it all up, put a bow, and celebrate our successes with a closing webinar at 8:45 pm!
The event will include:
  • Live Webinars,
  • Assignments,
  • Worksheets,
  • Checklists
  • and other fun bonuses*.
Hope to see you all there!
