Is this what you are looking for QoQ?
Your Holiday mission for today is to take time out to establish a
budget for the Holidays.
Look over your gift lists and menus and try to work on a budget for
these things. When you establish a budget and try very hard to work
within that budget you will find that you do not go overboard on your
spending because you have taken the time out to plan and think things
through instead of shopping impulsively.
Try to establish when you can start your shopping and to break it
down into small manageable tasks. You need to figure out how much
money you can afford for: gifts, mailing, wrapping supplies, travel
expenses, meals, baking etc.
You can put these numbers into your Holiday Control Journal that you
were to create in Mission #2 (remember all the missions are available
on FlyLady.net). This way you have your lists and budget all in one
place.
Taking things that are overwhelming and breaking them down into
babysteps help us keep the CHAOS away!!
