"You can plan the plan, but you can't plan the outcome." (anonymous).
Science proves that you are unable to multi-task. So stop trying to jam-pack as much as possible, and pack only what you need.
As a former project manager, I had these massive projects with deadlines to meet. My job included the deadline, what I needed to do, the people I needed, the things I needed, the money I needed and the time I needed to get shit done. Here is what I learned that you can use:
1. Prepare yourself emotionally and mentally every morning by connecting with your Higher Power.
2. Write out all the things you need to do and prioritize them in order.
3. Review your list and remove all the things that aren't necessary. If it's too complicated, it's not simple, so eliminate it. Period.
4. Rewrite and re-prioritize your list.
5. Next to the items in your list, estimate the time, people, resources, and money it will take to meet the deadline.
6. Review your list again and remove all the things that aren't necessary. If it's too complicated, it's not simple, so eliminate it. Period.
7. Whatever you estimate the time it will take to complete the tasks, multiply each task by 3 (e.g. if you think it will take ten minutes, multiply it by three and change it to 30 minutes). It is my secret success formula. Everything takes three times longer than you think it will take to complete. You can test my hypothesis!
8. Keep your balance and your center. Do not let anyone or anything knock you off your game.
9. Know that everything will not go as planned, such as a turkey catching on fire, or Cousin Tommy falls down drunk, or the kids are running around screaming, but you gotta find a way to keep your sanity no matter what happens.
10. When you invite people to your gathering, you already know what they are like. They have proven themselves to you and haven't changed their ways after decades. IT IS WHO THEY ARE. So if they are prone to imbibing alcohol and making fools of themselves, you can't change that. If they have a reputation for always showing up fashionably late, you can't change that. If they are loud and obnoxious, you can't change them. You are the one making the decision to invite them. You can certainly have boundaries around you about what you will and will not accept, AND you are the one inviting them.
11. Mentally rehearse, and practice, how you are going to be with the difficult people. You are the center of love, you are the center of the Universe...if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything. It will make life so much easier for you.
12. Stop expecting perfection from yourself and others. There is no such thing.
13. Accept everything and everyone as they are. It will make your life a whole lot easier.
14. Do your best to enjoy yourself. This is the Thanksgiving season after all, isn't it?
15. Don't overextend yourself or you may catch your turkey on fire.
