40. Plan to Delegate
Even though you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner, that does not mean you have to do all of the work on your own. In fact, most friends and family will offer to help you as soon as they arrive at your house. You should plan ahead to delegate certain tasks to other people. This may be as simple as asking for someone to peel the potatoes or cutting carrots. Or, someone could do the dishes or set the table ahead of time.

But if you are not prepared to give anyone instructions, you cannot fully take advantage of help when it is offered to you. Telling someone to choose anything they like in the kitchen is not necessarily going to be the best help they can possibly give. If you like, you could actually set up small workstations on your kitchen table ahead of time. This way, when someone offers to help, you already have a space ready for them.
