No matter what the season life can bring many events and suprises our way. When life gets to be too much lets not let it make us feel frazzled and overwhemed.

Here are some simple tips to simply have more fun and less stress.

  1. Schedule 15 to 30 minutes meetings with family to brainstorm over menu planning, schedules and household chores etc.
  2. Give up on everything having to be perfect. Trying to live up to images in the 'Better Homes' magazine is not that realistic on a daily basis. Save that effort for more fomal gatherings, and even then try to lighten up.
  3. Plan your errands, like shopping around other appointments that take you away from home, saving you time and gas.
  4. Keep your light reading that you've been meaning to catch up on in a courier pouch near the door and take it with you when you know you will be in a line somewhere.
  5. Schedule time for you to relax as well as time with your family.
 Finally, don't get caught up in the messages streaming in that you need to buy more, do more and want more than you already have. Do things and buy things that you need, enjoy and add value to your life in the simple ways.

If you need a little help to organize and decutter your home or your calendar so that you can focus more energies towards what is truly important, call anytime, I will be happy to help.

Grouping errands is also a great way to make sure that non-urgent errands get done, e.g. "The next time I'm shopping for groceries, I'll pop into Canadian Tire and see what new organizing products they've got."
