Keep within your budget

Finances can be especially tight this holiday season, so it is important to keep within your budget. It doesn’t meet the holiday will be dull and boring, but rather adjustments need to be made and you have to be clear on how much you will spend. I usually write down the budget next to the person’s name or an event so I can see how much I would be spending. If my budget is $1000/month I have to plan accordingly. Budgeting can be tedious, but it is worth every penny rather than going into further debt.

Everyone may have had a point in their lives where they had to deal with feelings of abandonment. It may have been as a child seeing your parents going to work and being left with a babysitter. It may be a loss of a parent, friend, significant other. No matter what it may have been, it can be painful. Sometimes it can lead to not being able to trust others, feelings of betrayal and influence relationships in the future.

Write out a to-do list

Rather than thinking about the tasks, it can help to organize thoughts when they are on paper or on a computer screen. Sometimes you may find that there are actually not that many things to do or the amount is reasonable. It is also easier to shift around tasks and prioritize.
Determine which task is most important

Figure out why each task is important. Is it because the consequences are severe? Ex. working on an important project for work vs. mowing the lawn. True the grass may grow a little longer, but if you don’t work on the project for work, you could get fired. Another question to ask is whether there is a deadline or not.

dedication

We have a lot to juggle
- At work we have different deadlines and more than one project being thrown at you at once.
- We have to balance work with life: friends, family, marriage, children, spirituality.
- At school, there are assignments and projects that need to be completed.
- We have to maintain extracurricular activities such as sports and various hobbies (art, music).
