If you're going on holiday, have you booked it? When will you service your car? If you want to have repairs or renovations at home completed by Christmas, have you planned to get them done? What do you need to do to achieve your personal goals for this year? Who will you buy gifts for this year? When will you shop for those gifts? What else do you need to do to ensure you are as prepared as possible? Plan Everything In Your Diary Set timeframes for all your actions and schedule everything into your diary. This is vital, otherwise you'll end up keeping yourself busy and before you know it all your good intentions will have fallen by wayside and Christmas will be only a few days away.

The Final Word Start preparing for end of year now so you will be able to enjoy this special time instead of stressing yourself out getting everything done right up to last minute.
