You’ve made the decision to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner this year at your home for family and friends. Now you need to begin planning for this festive occasion. The more time you allow for planning, the less stress you will have to enjoy the day.
In a conversation a few days ago with a couple of my good friends, we were discussing no show charges with healthcare providers. One of my friends recently missed a doctor’s appointment and promptly received a bill from her doctor for a significant amount of money because she was a ‘no show’.
Paper clutter seems to be one of the biggest organizing challenges for a lot of people. It takes up a lot of space, and produces stagnant energy, and that causes stress. Incoming paper comes from a variety of sources such as mail, newspapers, magazines, phone books, the list goes on.
These days everyone is looking for ways to not only save time but also money. Paying bills is something we all do, and it can be time consuming and stressful. Manual bill paying requires a type of system that will ensure your bills are paid on time to avoid late charges, which can be costly, and cause your stress level to climb higher. And no one needs more stress in their life!
Last week we rang out the old year and celebrated the beginning of this new year, 2011. With the new year comes a time to reflect on the past year. A time to look back and think about all that you have accomplished, and also to look at the things you planned to do that didn’t come to fruition. It’s time once again to set goals and create a plan to accomplish those goals.
I love to travel! Seeing new sights and meeting new people is a wonderful experience. Traveling also creates memories that last a lifetime. Getting away from time to time provides an escape from the day to day activities that can create a lot of stress in our lives.
I could mention how many shopping days left until Christmas, but I don’t want to scare you, we have Halloween for that. The big holidays, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas are the ones that create the most stress. Everyone is worried about gift giving, decorating and making sure the house is clean.
