Simplify your holiday to-do list

(StatePoint) Trying to get everything done on your holiday list can be tough for even the most organized among us.

From decking the halls to buying and wrapping the gifts to cooking and cleaning for guests, it’s easy to overlook something or someone on your list.

Before you run around town to a million stores, take some time to get organized. With a little smart planning you can simplify your holiday list and make your season go from hectic to jolly.

Plan Your Menu Don’t just remember to add big items to your shopping list.

While nobody forgets the ham or turkey, it’s easy to overlook essentials like vanilla, nutmeg, flour, butter, chicken stock and spices. You don’t want to run to the store because you’ve forgotten the cinnamon for the cookies in your oven!

Shop Smart There is no such thing as too early! Take advantage of early bird discounts on Christmas cards and gifts so you won’t worry if the item will arrive in time or be in stock.

like calendars, journals, stationery and other inexpensive gifts. Why not streamline the process and choose one great gift you can customize for each recipient? You can visit an online store like Minted.com that lets you pick out personalized stationery designs for each recipient on your list. This saves you the trouble of stopping at many stores.

Get Emergency Gifts You may think you’ve put everybody on your “nice” list, but you’ll be the naughty one when your neighbor visits with a gift and you don’t have one for her! Buy small emergency gifts you can have available when you realize you’ve forgotten the mailman or your boss.

Remember the Extras Stock-up on tape, wrapping paper, batteries, ribbons, bows and personalized thank you cards. Nothing’s worse than remembering the gifts but forgetting the batteries or not having enough wrapping paper to wrap them.

Finishing Touches

Check out online stores for special discounts, but don’t just buy anything. The worst gifts are those that look like you purchased the first thing you saw. Opt for personal gifts that look like you’ve thought a lot about the recipient.

Have gifts sent to your home and wrap them with festive paper. Buy one paper and one ribbon in bulk for a signature, yet affordable look. And remember the gift tags, so you can tag each gift as it is wrapped. If time is short, festive ribbons tied in bows along with your custom holiday cards go a long way.

For example, thanks to advances in photo printing technology, you now can add a personal photo to traditional items

A little planning can go a long way in ensuring forgotten errands don’t dampen your holiday spirit.

Since the founding of Keller Williams, it has been our company’s stated mission to build careers worth having, businesses worth owning and lives worth living. We realize now, more than ever, that a life worth living is one that is healthy, money-smart, and sustainable. Our new book Green Your Home addresses solutions for every home owner.

While less than 1 percent of all agents in the United States have had training related to green homes, more than 60 percent of buyers surveyed by the National Association of Homebuilders state their next home must possess some green elements. In response Keller Williams Realty will soon be delivering green-specific education and a designation.

Home buyers and sellers will only enjoy the economic value contribution of Green if their agents are able to promote it.

Our designation program will provide yet another way for Keller Williams associates to stand out from the competition.

It’s the holiday season ... so why all the stress?

(StatePoint) Actually, stress is associated with positive life events as much as negative ones. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when planning family meals, shopping for gifts, decorating the house or figuring out what to do with the kids during their holiday break.

“Stress causes an unhealthy ‘high alert!’ response that wears down the body,” says Ashley Davis Bush, author of the book “Shortcuts to Inner Peace: 70 Simple Paths to Everyday Serenity.” “Through intentionally summoning a feeling of inner calm, we literally change the chemistry of our bodies.”

If you’re looking to keep a calm head in the midst of visiting relatives and busy shopping malls, try some of Bush’s favorite shortcuts this holiday season: • Play It Again, Sam: When you find yourself grumbling over a nagging task (hanging lights, preparing the guest room), play or sing a specific song. It doesn’t have to be holiday-related; any upbeat tune will help!

to the mind as well.

• Remember This: When waiting in line to purchase gifts or groceries, ask yourself “What do I need to remember?” Keep asking yourself this question until you start to get substantial answers like “I need to remember what really matters in life.”

• Stop ‘N’ Smell: Before you being cooking a holiday meal, take time to smell your ingredients. Or pull a fragrant item from your pantry that triggers positive emotions (e.g. coffee, vanilla extract, rosemary). Close your eyes and inhale. The smell should ground you in the present, allowing you to savor your time in the kitchen.

• My Sunshine: Family dynamics are complicated and can get strained during the holidays. If you find yourself getting annoyed with a loved one, consider humming the song “You Are My Sunshine” and remember that your time together is limited. If your buttons really get pushed, excuse yourself and throw cool water on your face or place a wet towel on your neck. Cool relief to the body brings relief

• Touch Tank: It’s easy in the hustle and bustle of the holidays to forget to appreciate all the beautiful decorations, not to mention the beauty of the season. Consider keeping a small box or basket of seasonal treasures -- pine cones, smooth stones, mistletoe and chestnuts. Whenever you feel tense or overwhelmed, take a few moments to finger each object. Simple appreciation tends to restore inner calm.

“We often think we need to change our circumstances to feel peaceful or that we need to be immersed in spa-like surroundings to find tranquility,” says Bush.

“But inner peace requires no extra time or money -- just a shift in attention.”

Let peace on earth begin with you this holiday season.
