Last
month we gave you a few tips to help you get the most
for your money during the holidays. If you want to
refresh your memory, click
here.
Here are a few more tips:
Carefully consider bargain offers that are based
on purchases of additional merchandise. For example,
"buy one, get one free" or "free gift
with purchase." If you don't really want or need
the item, it's not a deal.
Ask about sale adjustments. That is, if you buy
an item at regular price and it goes on sale the next
week, can you get a credit or refund for the discounted
amount? What documentation will you need?
Ask about refund and return policies for sale items. Merchants
may have different refund and return policies for sale
items, especially clearance merchandise.
Happy Holidays!

As
we enter the last month of the year, I hear many people
complain that they just don't get enough done. Do you
sometimes feel like you don't have enough time to get it
all done? Here's a way to redeem the time, starting now,
and make the month of December (and every month) do
double duty.
The key is to plan your week in a way that ensures
important tasks are done, while releasing your
creativity. Let's look at 6 steps to do just that.
1. Use a master task list. One of the problems
with planning is that you feel you must decide *now*
when each task will be done, which creates unhealthy
pressure. The way around this problem is to create a
master list of everything that needs to be done, then
use your master list to plan. When a new task needs to
be added to a list, add it to this list. Having a master
list (only *one* list) provides peace of mind since you
don't have to worry about forgetting those important
things that need YOUR attention.
2. Set aside a block of time to plan. No
interruptions during this time. It may take up to 5
hours for your first serious planning session. When you
plan, try limiting your work hours. Don't say "as
many hours as it takes" (YOU deserve a life too!)
but rather "Monday thru Friday from 7 to 5" or
whatever works best for you. Be realistic, yet flexible,
and you will feel a greater sense of freedom and less
like an employee of your day planner.
3. Prioritize using an A,B,C system. Too basic?
Try doing it this way. A task is not an "A"
task unless it costs you money, or will ruin your
reputation if you fail to do it. "B" tasks are
important, but the world won't end if you don't do them.
EVERYTHING else is a "C" task. Using this
method will cause you to list fewer "A" tasks
but likely get more of them done.
4. Make an APPOINTMENT with yourself to do the top
five "A" tasks. Treat it like any other
appointment. Don't let it slide. If you want to never
again end a busy week only to realize that the most
important things were left undone, put your
"A" tasks on your calendar.
5. Plan using a weekly calendar. People often
think in week long units naturally. Monthly planning is
too long range and daily planning can dissolve into
simply managing the next crisis. Remember, YOU are in
control. Start by placing "A" tasks down as if
they were appointments, because now they are.
"B" tasks can be handled when you have open
time while "C" tasks may simply have to wait.
6. Be immovable. This is the key. You have
planned your week, and unless it's VERY serious, don't
change your plan.
When you learn to do things in their order of
importance, the feeling of "There's something I'm
supposed to do, but what is it?" will leave you
entirely. This frees your mind. Keep yourself on track
by asking "What is the best use of my time for the
next 30 minutes?" Plan your work and you WILL
succeed.
