Your December Planning Assistant: Creating Your Master Plan
Hey, my Krafty Planner Pals!
I know December can be super hectic so I wanted to give you something to help you stay organized and on track. Just think of me as your trusty planning assistant 🤓
So grab your planner, get comfortable, and let's craft a master plan that not only keeps you organized but also adds a sprinkle of holiday magic to your days.
DECEMBER PLANNERS
In case you’ve missed it, I whipped up some December printables for you. From festive monthly calendars to cheerful to-do lists, these printables are designed to bring joy and functionality to your planning routine.
Grab your free December printables here and get ready to make your month merry and bright.
I also created a couple of one-page dashboards so you can see the whole month at a glance.
You can put them in your planner, hang them on the fridge or wall, or both 😊. Grab them right here ↓↓↓

Monthly Planning Routine
A good monthly planning routine is essential and it’s been great working with my Planner Pro Accelerator members and answering their questions on how I plan both my life and business in my planner.
Here’s a short recap of my planning routine:
Perform a monthly review to analyze how the previous month progressed. What did I accomplish? Did I achieve my goals?
Add the monthly holidays, and any important dates and events to my calendar.
Migrate any unfinished tasks from last month and review my goals. What goals do I want/need to work on this month?
Perform a brain dump to get my thoughts, plans, and ideas out of my head and onto paper. Then I make a detailed list of everything I need to get done this month.
If you aren’t in the practice of monthly planning yet, I understand that it might seem like there is a huge learning curve involved. However, as you work through the process more and more, you will find it becomes easier and easier. Eventually, you will gain the confidence necessary to keep going and it will become a natural part of your planning routine.
Holidays and Important Dates
One of the first things you need to do is mark any holidays and important dates on your calendar.
December is jam-packed with holidays and events, and you won't want to miss a beat. Circle the tree-lighting ceremony, note when Santa's making his appearance, and, of course, set a reminder for the big day itself.
You can download this free printable 25 Days of Christmas Bucket List if you need more ideas.
Here are a few dates to remember:
December 7 - Hanukkah
December 21 - Winter Solstice – the shortest day of the year
December 24 - Christmas Eve
December 25 - Christmas Day
December 26 - Boxing Day
December 26 - Kwanzaa
December 31 - New Year’s Eve
…and some other fun holidays you can celebrate:
December 6 - St. Nicholas Day
December 12 - Poinsettia Day
December 14 - Roast Chestnuts Day
December 18 - Bake Cookies Day
December 23 - Festivus – for the rest of us
December 28 - Card Playing Day
Most importantly, don’t forget to add all of your appointments, family events, and school activities that you need to attend.
