Hi T, I think you’re right it is hard to get things moving when you are not a team… but you can still plot and plan and have a list of to dos ready in advance for when you are ready to work together. I find it really helps the process along if at least one of us has an idea of what we are doing!!! As for perfection there are lots of things that the father person likes “just so” and lots of things he doesn’t mind… I get all the latter out of the way so that we have time available for the undone things nearer the time. I might be ready in advance but I can assure you the father person will be dashing to the store on Christmas Eve. We certainly aren’t doing everything the night before, just a couple of things he can’t face so he has left them to the very last minute!!! Have a good week, plotting and planning!!!

Some great ideas here. I am really trying to get ahead of the game, but am sometimes thwarted by a recalcitrant spouse. Well, maybe just a procrastinating spouse who is also a perfectionist!
