When your wedding day gets closer, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the vast amounts of To-Dos related to the wedding AND all of the work stuff, bills and other business of your regular life. Now here's a little secret that has just done wonders for my own wedding preparations...I created an AFTER THE WEDDING file, a cute little pink folder where I've stashed the e-mail printouts for assignments due in May, invoices and bills, correspondence I have to get to...all of the craziness that I'm going to have to handle when I get home from the honeymoon.

I started to feel a little pressured with all of the papers on my desk, wondering 'How am I going to keep track of all of this?' and just placing each paper in the folder gets them out of my eyeline, safely stored away in an organized file, and off of my current To Do list. I don't have to worry about these things at all right now! The effect was immediate -- there is truth to 'out of sight, out of mind!' So create this new folder for yourself, and you'll feel so much better. You can return to planning in peace!
