Aby Garvey is the organizing and productivity expert at Simplify 101, and she shares three tips for staying organized this holiday.

1. Understand what’s most important to you and your loved ones.

It isn’t just about getting things done, it’s about doing the right things…those things that make you and your loved one’s the happiest.

2. Make a plan.

Make a list of everything that needs to be done and prioritize it based on deadline and importance.

3. Shop with a list.

Make a list of everyone you need to buy gifts for, your budget, and any ideas you have in mind for them. Then, keep your list with you throughout the season. Having a list will save you money and time…two things we could all benefit from using well during the holidays!
