Aussie summer is just around the corner and if you’re anything like me, you’ll be starting to plan a much-needed getaway. Here are three quick tips to ease you into the planning process…
Sometimes one of the best parts about going on holiday is actually deciding where to go. But with our social media feeds crammed with holiday snaps from glamorous locations around the world, choosing the right holiday destination for ourselves can be overwhelming.
Start by narrowing down the list to your top three or four places, then close your eyes and imagine yourself in each place. Imagine the experience, the connection to people and nature each place offers. Take note of how your body and breath react to each little holiday daydream and go with the place which sparks the most joy… finances allowing of course. This step is just like setting your intention when decluttering.
Before you jet off, there will be multiple To Dos, from arranging pet-sitting, to booking tours, hire cars or hotels.
I recommend doing all of the above as soon as possible once you have booked your travel. If you can’t get onto it straight away, write a list and get them done as soon you can. Not only will you feel more prepared (and therefore more relaxed!) but you’ll likely save a bit of cash on tours and accommodation by booking early.
If you are looking for the best time to sit and complete the list, I recommend a Friday night. Time management expert Laura Vanderkam tells us that Fridays are the best day of the week for planning.
Most people hate doing it, but it must inevitably get done. With the right tools in place, however, packing can be quick, easy, and yes, even fun!

I hope these three tips make it a little easier for you to start planning your dream holiday, whether that’s hiking through the bush, taking a guided tour of Tuscany, or simply soaking up rays cocktail in hand.
And remember a holiday is defined as “an extended period of leisure and recreation”, so let’s keep it that way. For more ideas, check out Tips to Get Your Home Organised For The Holidays.
