Today's Holiday Cruising Mission

Super Cruising Mission #7: Establish Your Budget

Dear Friends,

Your Holiday mission for today is to take time out to establish a budget for the Holidays. Get out your Holiday Control Journal.

Look over your gift lists and menus and try to work on a budget for these things. When you establish a budget and try very hard to work within that budget you will find that you do not go overboard on your spending because you have taken the time out to plan and think things through instead of shopping impulsively.

Try to establish when you can start your shopping and to break it down into small manageable tasks. You need to figure out how much money you can afford for: gifts, mailing, wrapping supplies, travel expenses, meals, baking etc.

You can put these numbers into your Holiday Control Journal.

Taking things that are overwhelming and breaking them down into babysteps help us keep the CHAOS away!! Just a little planning will help even when we are in December.
