Easy Ways to Stay Organized for the Holidays

The House Manual app is an easy way to organize and share information so you can make 2020 your best holiday season yet.

With the holiday season now upon us, the scramble to ensure we are organized and prepared for Christmas Day and Hanukkah has begun. Gifts, cards, meals and events all need to be planned. And for 2020, many of us are having to prepare even more in advance as we work to share the spirit of the holidays while preparing for more social restrictions than we have ever faced before. But not to worry, our House Manual App is here to help you stay organized, simply and easily, so you can enjoy the best of the holiday season.

Sharing Christmas Lists

Christmas Lists can be hard to manage during the holiday season. Gift suggestions, particularly for kids who have been eagerly planning their Christmas lists, can be very specific and challenging to manage. The perfect gift can create lifelong memories, and an email or text doesn’t always cover all the bases, especially if the list is long.

Now with House Manual, you can snap a photo (or screenshot) of any wishlist items, add website, documents and more and share them with anyone in a few taps. See a better deal or changed your mind on an item? Not to worry, any updates you make in House Manual are always updated live for anyone who has access.

Zoom Schedules

This year more than ever you are likely going to be talking to family and friends remotely. All too often it can become confusing to remember zoom links, passwords and times, particularly if they are buried in an email or WhatsApp message. Plus, there always seems to be one family member who needs a little extra help getting logged on.

Now in House Manual, you can create a list of your planned zoom chats and associated information for everyone to view so there isn’t any confusion. You can even add notes to offer some tips for those who need a little extra guidance when getting started. Once your zoom list is shared, you can change meeting ids, passwords add notes and more, and your family and friends will always have the latest info when they view it.

Recipe Plans

It’s not the Holidays without great food and it can be exciting to try out new recipes to make your holiday meals especially memorable.

House Manual is a great place to remember recipes, plus add notes, links to websites and take pictures. Remembering recipe customizations is a breeze and there are no ads or pop-ups to distract you. If you do have guests visiting and contributing to meals, you can easily coordinate by sharing recipes or suggestions with them.
