This is the time of year where so many things are happening at the same time. In the next three weeks there is Easter, Passover, taxes (USA) due, and Spring has come extra early with gardening chores in full gear. As Willie Wonka said in “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”:
“So much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.” ~ Willy Wonka
Right now I’m trying to finish up the taxes so I get them out of the way. They are due three weeks from today (April 17th) so it’s time to finish them up if you haven’t already.
A week from this coming Friday is the first Passover Seder. I’m using my planner ( see last blog post on how to set one up) to help me stay organized. I’ve already purchased some of the food items. I check the planner on a daily basis to see what babysteps I can take each day to help me prepare for my company ahead of time and prevent the last minute panic. I’m still working on changing my lifelong procrastination habit!
Easter is less than two weeks away so if you celebrate this holiday and are having the family over you should also be taking babysteps to prevent the last minute panic.
If you haven’t see up a planner yet I suggest you do it today. It gives you a place to write down all the information and schedules so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to remember to do something.
Here are some sites to help you prepare for either or both holidays.
