Find Time as the Holidays Approach!

Posted on November 12, 2008, under Time Choices.

Have you noticed how quickly the time flies from Halloween to Thanksgiving to the December holidays? While there are 24-hours in every day no matter what, it can sometimes feel like there are fewer at this time of year!

CandlesThe power is in your hands! Whether time flies and you struggle to keep up, or you enjoy one day at a time as you progress from holiday to holiday, depends on your time choices. And the time to start making these wise time choices is now!

The ability to focus is key. Don’t surrender to the quiet dread that many people say they experience as retailers blare and blend every holiday from October to January. Stay with the moment, and decide, instead, to treat each holiday as an individual event.

Now is the time! This is a great time to start practicing some of the time tips we’ve been exploring. Beginning today, try some of the time tools we have been discussing here at The Time Finder. They can help you maintain the cherished traditions that you, your friends and family have developed over the years, without getting overwhelmed in the process.

Small changes can have a big impact on your enjoyment of the season. As you prepare for holiday events, would time boundaries help you focus and accomplish what you need to? How do you keep clear about your time priorities and your values (and keep from feeling frazzled) as you juggle all the tasks that need to get done? How do you manage the transition from one holiday to the next?

Perhaps the most valuable tool to help you make good choices around time is the use of templates. This is generally true, and perhaps especially so at busy and tradition-laden times like holidays.

Please stay tuned! We’ll continue our discussion of templates in upcoming posts!
