FW: (Mini Motivation) Quick Holiday Recap from Jamie Novak 11-29-15

Do you remember how much ice you used last year? How about this year? Me either!

These are the helpful hints I think I'll never forget.

But then I need to change the password to my email and I have to remember to take Holly for a walk and suddenly I have no idea who preferred diet soda or what time I put the stuffing into heat.

Which is why I created a quick holiday recap.

Quick, before you forget take a moment and jot down your answers to these questions.

No, you do not have to write a novel – a few thoughts will do.

No, you do not have to have perfect penmanship – you just need to be able to read what you write.

No, you do not have the luxury of telling yourself you will do this later –if you wait you will forget all the answers.

Take 5 minutes now and answer what you can – no one is going to grade you and there is no prize awarded for the best answers.

Capture your honest thoughts - you'll thank yourself next year!

What did everyone rave about?

What did you do ahead that worked well?

What else would you do ahead next time?

What did you stress about that no one even noticed?

What do you absolutely want to repeat next year?

What didn't work or what can you skip without regret next year?

What did you miss out on that you regret not making time to do?

What can you do differently next year to make things even more relaxed?

If you cooked did you have the amounts right? What was leftover or a big hit?

What were your cooking times? How long did things take?

How about the drinks? Did you have leftovers? Where you missing anything?

Did you travel? What route did you take? Where did you book accommodations?

What was the best/funniest/cutest thing that happened?

Are there any special preferences or dietary needs you want to remember?

Finally, if you have photos to download and share do it now.
