Intel® Core™ i5 processor & Win a $250 Gift Card to Best Buy
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
Our lives have been extremely busy lately. I keep thinking there will be a break, but then something new comes up. For the past three months, we have been remodeling our house and living in a construction zone. I tried to prepare myself, but there are always surprises when you remodel. It has been a long road. I have also been busy with my job as a wellness consultant, travel, friends and family, and of course the blog.
Luckily, I am a very organized person and the queen of multi-tasking so I have been able to stay on top of most things. I’ll be honest though, it has been hard to keep up with everything while remodeling our house. Normally, I never let the laundry fall behind, I plan out our meals a week in advance, never get behind on emails, etc. But lately, I have let a few things slide, even though my multi-tasking mode has been in overdrive.
Our house is almost completed and it is time for me to re-focus. The holiday season is here and it is time for me to get organized again. I am ready to tackle my to-do lists and conquer my daily tasks with full enthusiasm. I want to stay ahead of the game so I can enjoy the holidays.
I was recently selected by BlogHer and Intel to review the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Turbo Boost Technology, allowing me to “Get More Done in less time” and an Intel® Wireless Display (aka WiDi) adaptor. I am hoping my new computer will help me get my life in order-just in time for the holidays! I will be sharing my thoughts on Monday-so stay tuned!

I am the Post-It girl during the holidays. I make lists and post them throughout the house to remember what I need to get done, buy, or clean before the Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I try to be intentional about any downtime that I have with a one year old and a two year old running around. Love your blog!
Get enough sleep & stay healthy…..otherwise I get sick and then NOTHING gets done. Learn to cut loose what you can do without and to say NO…..it’s not so hard once you start & you don’t end up over-committed and stressed!
I already have a travel checklist made and all my shopping is already done. I get things done early so the holidays dont stress me out!
I am also pretty organized, I love lists and organizers in general
I make lists for everthing! They help keep me organized, even though I don’t always get through all the items on them.
you can imagine how many food lists I have on my cell phone. i need lists to organize my lists!
My iPhone keeps me organized. I use it for notes, calendar features, etc. And I also rely on good old-fashioned post-its and a mini-notebook I keep in my purse.
Love your blog and great give away! Thanks for all the amazing recipe ideas =D
I use lots of sticky notes and my iPhone. I also tell my nephew to remind me of things that need to get done. =)
I make lists, without them I am lost and forget everything!
What great cookie ideas! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the offer-I’m going back for the cookie recipe!

My smart phone, Google calendar and this app called Catch.
I write lists and just try to do a few things each day. And I start early…especially with Christmas shopping.
I live by my iphone calendar with lots of reminder alerts! I really need a better system actually!
