#136 - Ten Ideas for a Holiday Reset

20 min • 16 december 2019

We have one week until Christmas, and it might already be time for a reset. No matter how intentional we are, how much margin we create, things surprise us. And that’s okay and normal and we’ll all be fine. Here are ten tips for a reset in case you need one.

Stuff Mentioned

A few crowdsourced Lazy Genius holiday traveling road trip tips. Make that trip to visit grandma enjoyable from the first mile through pulling back into your driveway. And here's a companion episode for holiday road trips.
I’ve put my favorite Christmas albums and nine mood-based holiday playlists I had the most fun making for you in this blog post.
Here’s a helpful episode about creating traditions for the holidays or for everyday life.

If you’re interested, here’s that article on The Kitchn about Change Your Life Chicken.
Netflix has a show that’s just a fireplace burning. Bonus: You have control of the volume of the crackle.
If you want to try your hand at baking but you need a place to start, try my Baking Mini-Series here.

Read this before you get started so your holiday baking will involve as little murder as possible.
