As you prepare for this Christmas,
setting your goals and planning ahead will help you
avoid chaos while feeling more grounded and in control

The end of December is a chaotic time, no matter where you are. Gifts, decorations, chores, food, events, travel, visitors – even if you are able to delegate some of your tasks, this time of year is a daunting exercise in planning and logistics. And it’s so easy to get lost in all the chaos and miss out on the most important thing – you, getting some well-earned rest and relaxation.

With this in mind, I designed my annual Christmas planner to help you achieve clarity and minimise holiday chaos – and this year, based on reader feedback for past editions, the planner is bigger and better than ever!

To use the Christmas planner, just print out the pages you need, fill them out, and just glance at your notes to know where you are in the many processes going on at once this time of year. There are separate worksheets from errands to decorations to gifts and self-care, and even intentions and reflections.

Here’s what you get when you download the Christmas planner

Remember: above anything else, focus on staying calm and connected. This is a big workbook, and I designed it so you can do any of it, but at the same time you don’t have to do all of it to make it work. I designed this planner to reduce stress, not add to it. :) So in order not to overwhelm yourself, only print the pages you need.

I hope this planner helps you with your holiday preparations! x
