The holidays are here! Are you feeling overwhelmed this holiday season? Do you have a lot of tasks on your to do list?
Things like …
- Finish buying the holiday gifts
- Schedule the family get-togethers
- Begin to bake and cook and then bake some more
- Get the house ready for guests and take care of last minute home repairs
- Keep all of the balls in the air at work
- Keep everyone happy!!!
Whew! No wonder so many people get stressed when the holidays are approaching. Are you one of these people? I hope not!
But it doesn’t have to be that way because let’s face it, YOU should be enjoying the holidays, too. If, in the act of taking care of the family, as well as making sure that all is functioning well at work, you find yourself overwhelmed and fatigued, I suggest that you step back, assess the situation and then take action.
And so, with that being said, let’s discuss exactly how you can recognize and acknowledge your own good deeds and treat yourself.

Treat Yourself to Lasting Gift During the Holidays
So, yes, treat yourself, but not to a manicure, a new piece of jewelry, or an item of clothing. Sure, those are all great and we know that the cliché When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping! resonates loud and clear for lots of people. But, those treats are short lived and although they give pleasure, they will dissipate after a few days or weeks. And, then that feeling of being overwhelmed and stressed will probably return.
Wouldn’t it be better to give yourself something that has staying power, that will feel terrific right from the beginning, and will continue to provide pleasure and a sense of well being and serenity long after the first excitement has worn off?
I highly recommend that you get organized for the holidays before life gets too out of control. Hiring a professional organizer to come in and work with you in your home and/or in your office.
Sheesh, you might be saying, “I’d rather get a new dress or earrings or just take an afternoon for myself.” Yes, I agree those are all wonderful, but hear me out. How long will that good feeling last? (Be honest!)

Why You Should Get Organized For the Holidays
Here’s what working with a professional organizer to get organized for the holidays can mean for you:
- Start 2015 on the Right Foot. You know how chaotic it can be around the holidays, right? Well, what if you could start the season, like right now, for instance, with everything organized and tidy, everything in its rightful place — around the house and even the office, too? Wouldn’t that be a great way to start the new year?
- Save Money. Have you ever bought a new item of clothing only to find that you have something that is very similar lurking in the back of your closet unseen and forgotten? Don’t let that happen again. A professional organizer can make sense of your closet, sort and organize what you have, work with you to discard what you no longer want, and help you clear out space for those new items that you might get as gifts or purchase for yourself.
- Save Time. Cluttered drawers and desks can cost you precious minutes or more each and every day as you scramble to locate papers, clothes, bills, keys, and more. Just imagine if you could reclaim that time! … and, of course, a professional organizer can help to make that happen by organizing those cluttered locations in your home and office that cause you to bleed time.
So, you see what I mean. You might not have ever thought about it, but the ultimate treat for yourself is getting help with bringing a bit more order to your life. Hiring a professional organizer to help you organize all the facets of your life that cause stress, eat time, and conspire to make the holiday season (and all the other months, too) very complicated and chaotic is the one gift that will truly keep on giving.
