Organize Your Food If you plan on entertaining during the holiday season, plan your meals and every time you go shopping, stock up on any non-perishable items or frozen items you will need. Take a stock of your pantry and fill it up with necessary items. Make sure that nothing will break down at a critical moment in your celebration.

It might also have the effect of waking you up if nothing has been marked completed. A calendar is the easiest place to track such a list.
