Frazzle Free Checklists for Evernote

I am a big fan of Evernote and use it regularly to keep track of lists, recipes, vacation plans for home as well as files, emails, notes, and assignments for work.  And because of Evernote, I am almost paperless when it comes to work.

So this year I have decided to give it a try when it comes to working through 8 Weeks to a Frazzle Free Christmas.  I have created the Week 1 and Week 2 checklists along with a Buy List, and two Gift Lists (Single and Multiple) in Evernote and have exported them here for anyone who would like to download and import them into Evernote (you have to be using the desktop version to import notes).

Here is our list for this week:

• Finish all of our Christmas gift shopping

Some Things to Think About:

• For the remaining weeks we will be pre-making or pre-baking something off of our Christmas meal list. So today, choose one item off of your Christmas menu that can either be pre-made (i.e. casseroles) or pre-baked (cookies, pies, breads) and then frozen. Either add the ingredients you will need for this menu item to your regular grocery list or attach your Grocery Buy list to your regular grocery list.
• Decide which day this week you will be pre-making or pre-baking your meal item and add it to your calendar.
• Next week we will be finishing our gift shopping, so be sure to have your list updated and ready to go with any last minute adds or notes.
• Finalize any plans, confirm any reservations, print off any maps, and organize any supplies for any of your planned family activities next week.

Welcome to Week 5. We are half way done! This week we continue with Christmas cards, pre-making meals, and purchasing things off our Buy List.  We also begin our Christmas shopping and outside decorating.

And in because we begin gift shopping this week, we have decided to pull ahead our 25% off discount.

All you need to do is use the coupon code frazzlefree during checkout.
