Episode 149: Decide One Holiday Thing Now (Before November Decides for You)

Right now, nobody has asked you a single thing about the holidays. No menu, no guest list, no “whose house this year.” And that is exactly why this is the moment to decide one thing about the season, on your own terms, before it decides itself. This episode is for the woman who can already feel Thanksgiving and Christmas coming and does not want to arrive at them scraped empty. There is a reason a decision you make now will hold, while the same decision attempted in the thick of November tends to slip away. It has to do with how the choices that matter most keep losing to whatever feels urgent, and what to do about it before the urgent even starts. In this episode: Why the holiday choices that matter most get pushed aside until they are suddenly on fire How one decision made in September can steady the entire season; A way to protect your time, your budget, or your energy before the busy weeks arrive. Scripture: Proverbs 4:26 (ESV) Research note: Inspired by research on the mere urgency effect (Zhu, Yang and Hsee, 2018, Journal of Consumer Research). Ready for your next step?
