So the day after Thanksgiving is extremely important and timing critical. \u00a0Next Thanksgiving starts the day after this Thanksgiving.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2199 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=400%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181123-TIF-SM-The-Day-After-Thanksgiving.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Improve the Process<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see the best time to make a process improvement is following the occurrence of the event or process. \u00a0Your thoughts are fresh and emotions still high. I suggest you evaluate your Thanksgiving like I do. You\u2019re the only one able to evaluate how you felt or experienced Thanksgiving or any day for that matter. \u00a0Were you disappointed at the turn out? Were there too many present? Too few? Was the time the best for the setting? Did you invite the right group of family members? Was the menu what you envisioned? Ask yourself these questions so that next year you don\u2019t leave feeling the same way. \u00a0If you want a different outcome, you must do something different than what was done this time around.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>General questions you should ask.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me help by giving you a couple helpful general questions that I am asking myself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What did I not like about this Thanksgiving?<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Start with this question to get it out of the way. \u00a0It\u2019s the key target for making next Thanksgiving the best ever. \u00a0What stood in your way of having a better Thanksgiving? What can you do next Thanksgiving to avoid the \u201cI don\u2019t likes\u201d?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What did you like about this Thanksgiving?<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Define what you really enjoyed this year. \u00a0\u00a0Think of ways to incorporate your likes into next Thanksgiving. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Is It Over Already.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number one problem people have with Thanksgiving and other holidays is that it went by too quickly or that it was too short. \u00a0Did you find yourself back at the office the day after? Maybe next year you can plan to extend your holiday over into the day after. \u00a0Maybe you wish to extend Thanksgiving, then plan for it. What you make of it is totally on you. I\u2019ve found that everyone is living by a plan whether they plan or not. \u00a0The question is who\u2019s making your plans? Your Thanksgiving plans? You or someone else?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today is Friday!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanksgiving is your holiday; do it your way. \u00a0Life\u2019s too short to let another just happen without it being the way you want it.
