Weekly Tittle

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.

Twinkling Holiday Lights

This week’s assignment is to spend some time reflecting on how you’d like to enjoy the holiday season this year. This is a quick and easy tittle, because we know you’ll have plenty of other things to do in the coming weeks:

  • Make a list of three or four activities you most cherish during the holiday season. These might include religious observations, decorating, cooking, entertaining, travel, shopping, gift-giving, family gatherings, or any aspects of the season that hold the most meaning for you.
  • If you don’t celebrate any holidays at this time of year, make a list of activities you particularly enjoy doing in the fall and winter.
  • Reflect on the simplest, most uncomplicated form in which you might enjoy each of the items on your list.
  • Keep your simplified holiday plans in mind as the season unfolds, and resist the pressure to overfill and complicate this time of year!
