About this listen
In this solo, right-on-time episode, Kathi Lipp shares 10 tiny, high-impact tasks to lower your holiday stress—perfect for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (and just as helpful for Christmas). Instead of chasing a magazine-perfect home, she helps you remove friction in the exact places that cause chaos. Listeners will hear details of the following 10 small tasks:
Clear the "turkey triangle" (sink, oven, main counter)
Do a 10-minute fridge edit that saves sanity on Thursday
Pre-assign serving dishes so helpers don’t need to ask what goes where
Set up a drink and appetizer station away from the kitchen
Prep trash/recycling/compost in advance
Post a simple Help List so guests can actually help
Guest bathroom reset
Create a landing zone for coats and bags
Decide on a dishes-and-cleanup plan now, and...
Doing one kind thing for "Friday you"—like setting aside leftovers containers and pre-loading the coffee maker.
If you’re feeling behind, this episode meets you with grace and gives you a clear, doable path to a calmer holiday—without the perfection pressure.
