Transform your Holiday Season ...
from Stressful to Magical!
The holiday season has arrived and
your ‘to do’ list is getting longer and longer as you decorate the tree, hang
the outdoor lights, walk the shopping mall to find the perfect gifts and plan
holiday gatherings and meals.
Do you feel tired, stressed and
overwhelmed with your responsibilities as a wife and mother? Have you ever
wondered how other people seem to thrive during the holiday season while you
struggle with the day to day tasks? Choice overload may contribute to your stress and feelings of frustration.
How do you get around choice overload?
Decision making
involves making a choice after evaluating all the available alternatives and
options. Often there are too many choices to evaluate.
People in modern
societies are overwhelmed by an overabundance of choices. For example, a simple
trip to the grocery store may require a consumer to choose from 258 varieties
of cookies or 150 lipstick colors.
Individuals do not always make rational decisions due to impulsive
buying, a lack of important information or allowing emotions to drive the
decision.
Here
are some insightful tips to help you make optimal decisions – especially while
shopping and celebrating the holiday season:
Recognize financial
parameters. Price needs to drive the choice.
Evaluate the
positives.
Rate the product or alternatives based on the positive attributes.Eliminate by negatives. Make your choice based on gradually eliminating less-attractive products or alternatives.
Rely on past knowledge. Fall back on your experience and expertise. This knowledge will help guide you through making difficult holiday decisions and purchases.
Don’t be impulsive. Avoid purchasing unnecessary items. Make a shopping list.
Avoid conditions of uncertainty. Risky decisions are often the result of making choices under conditions of uncertainty. Take the time to evaluate and explore all your options when it comes to purchasing holiday items, especially big ticket items. Do your homework and collect enough data to make a rational choice.
Transform
your holiday season from stressful to magical. Learn to manage choice
overload by selecting the shopping strategies that work for you.
