The holidays are a super busy time of year. Not only is another year winding down, there are additional expectations of holiday festivities, decorations, school functions, travel, parties to attend, gifts to purchase, and everything else we put on ourselves from November through December. One of the best ways to deal with the extra pressure of the holiday season is to have good time management. This ensures you can properly plan and follow through with your plans instead of pressing out, getting overwhelmed, and missing the joy all around you. My guest this week on Wannabe Minimalist is well versed in helping chronically busy people, like us parents, with time management - not just at the holidays, but throughout the whole year too. Risa Williams is a book author, licensed therapist, and time management coach. She's the author of the self-help book series, The Ultimate Toolkits for Psychological Wellbeing, which includes: The Ultimate Anxiety Toolkit, The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit, and The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit. She's also the host of The Motivation Mindset Podcast, which features productivity tools and examples of how they work in real life. She's been featured in Forbes Magazine, Business Insider, Parade Magazine, Real Simple, Wired Magazine, and HuffPost, and she writes articles for Breathe Magazine.
