Sometimes I get wary of sharing how much I plan. But because I plan I get to be more purposeful and present in my life which gives me peace. I‘m sharing the 3 phases I go through to plan. I dream. I contemplate allllllllll the possibilities. Then I choose what I want to do from all dreams I came up with. And then I plan it and confidently run that plan knowing I thought of everything. 

Holiday Blitz so you can leave the Witches in Oct. 

Halloween has passed, you are in the thick of the holidays but you still feel like a witch. Why? Because you are trying to meet everyone’s expectations but no one is aware of all you are doing nor do they care. We are putting all this pressure and these expectations on ourselves!!  I’m here to share how to shed those witchy feelings with the Holiday Blitz. In the holiday blitz there are 5 videos and printables. After the videos, you will “interview your family” about what makes the holidays special for them BEFORE the holidays. You will dream about what you want the holidays to look like this year. And after talking to your family it’ll be easy to choose what you want to execute.

Holiday Mini Planning Day

The Holiday Blitz Mini Planning Day is a taste of what home planning day is like.  This is when we take the one Sunday Basket® and divide it into three Sunday Baskets®. You will have a Holiday Sunday Basket® for the meaty experience you want to plan, recipes, gift ideas, and all the holiday cheer you want to provide this year. There will be a “next year” Sunday Basket® where you can safely place paper that doesn’t need your attention until next year. You place this Sunday Basket® in another room.  And of course, your regular weekly Sunday Basket® for your “new part time job” of being the memory maker; with the additional shopping, decorating, traveling, and so forth. We’ll take a look at the week of Thanksgiving and the last two weeks of December and plan in time blocks. And I share tips on how to strategically shop Black Friday to save money all year. 

I know not everyone has the capacity or time to plan luxuriously like this. So…I am offering a 30 mini workshop where you can take just a few minutes to plan. I know everyone is really busy but I really want you to enjoy the holidays this year! Stay tuned for more details so you stay sane and present for the holidays.

Home Prep & Planning Day

And we end the year with more planning. Yes I really do all of this planning. But you will see as the year comes to an end you will be already dreaming of what this 2026 year can bring. It’s still full of so much potential.  Prep day is Monday. You will reset your Sunday Baskets® and update slash pocket labels and contents. Some paper may need to go in your operations binder. And you will have a Taxes Sunday Basket® for a landing place when all the documents start coming in the mail. You’ll have one extra Sunday Basket® which will be for your first project in the new year. And then you choose what projects and ideas you will be actually planning for on Wed.

And On Wednesday we’ll start getting a plan on paper in the workbook. What will the first 120 days/ 4 months of 2026 look like? In each of these planning phases I dream. How could it look? And then I choose. I make an actionable plan to execute the choices I made. And lastly, run that plan with confidence. Because you take the time to plan, you can peacefully be present.

Once you have experienced the peace of planning, you will find the time to plan. I promise! And the more you plan, you’ll want to plan even more!
