Getting Ahead of the Holidays
As we transition into fall, it’s the ideal time to reset and prepare for the months ahead. With the holiday season quickly approaching, a bit of thoughtful organization now can minimize stress and create a smoother, more enjoyable experience later.
1. Streamline Before the Season Begins
Declutter high-traffic areas such as entryways, coat closets, and kitchen counters. Clearing out what you no longer need ensures you have room for seasonal items, entertaining supplies, and holiday décor.
2. Rotate and Refresh Storage
Store away summer items and bring forward cold-weather essentials. Organize outerwear, footwear, and accessories so your household can transition seamlessly as temperatures drop.
3. Establish a Family Calendar
Between school events, work commitments, and upcoming gatherings, schedules can become overwhelming. Setting up a shared calendar now provides clarity and helps avoid conflicts later in the season.
4. Take Inventory of Holiday Supplies
Review your décor, wrapping materials, and entertaining essentials. Knowing what you have—and what you may need—prevents duplicate purchases and reduces last-minute errands.
5. Plan Ahead for Traditions and Gatherings
Whether it’s scheduling family time or preparing for annual traditions, advance planning ensures the holidays feel more intentional and less hurried.
