Let’s do a quick test.
In the next few, short weeks:
Several people will surprise you with gifts, and you have none for them.
You discover you have double-booked yourself—more than once—for holiday events.
You will learn on Christmas morning you will be hosting ten additional guests for dinner that night.
If these thoughts make you want to run away until December passes, take heart.
I have a simple secret to share that will help reduce stress and make for a more joyful season.
It’s about applying a simple system—P.E.R.C—that provides a structure for helping you choose what is most important to you and your family.
You start with P, which stands for Protect.
What’s non-negotiable about the weeks leading up to Christmas?
These items are the ones that are near and dear to your heart, that are the essence of the holiday.
They are your proverbial Big Rocks, and everything else fits in around them.
