One of the biggest changes to the way I do things has been achieved by just doing quick jobs when I think of them. I used to have lists full of small jobs that needed doing, I suspect some of which took longer to put on the list than they would’ve taken.

In previous years I’ve piled Christmas gifts away so I can panic rap them on Christmas eve, because extra stress is what everyone wants at this time of year. But this year as gifts arrive, I wrap them straight away and put them under the tree.

It’s been so much less work than usual, and it’s definitely my new way of doing things going forward.
