Top Tips For Getting Organised In Life!
There is no ‘right’ way of doing this. You just need to find a method that suits you. Also it is important to remember to keep it simple. It won’t help to be ‘organised’ if it actually taking longer to maintain than just getting to work at the list of things in the first place. So here are just a few simple top tips for getting organised in life.Best way to be organised is to start straight away. If there are bills to be paid or a phone call to make, get to it! If the size of the task is overwhelming, then just do it a step at a time. After all Rome wasn’t built in a day.
1.Figure out if you are a morning or an evening person. If you are more energetic later in the day schedule top priority things then. 2.Then leave routine stuff for your less motivated time. If you are a morning person then do vise versa. Get up and tackle those top of the list jobs, then as your motivation dwindles later in the day, you can relax knowing the most important things have been seen to, and the less tasking things can be done at a slower speed.
NOTEBOOKS
Get a note book and make lists to keep track of jobs that need to be done. Firstly, make sure to keep it with you at all times so you can add to it while on the go. Also you have it to hand to make sure you know what needs doing next, or to check you haven’t missed anything. It is completely pointless to make a list if you can’t refer to it. A shopping list is a prime example of this as they are usually written down on a scrap of paper: then forgotten at home while your at the shop struggling to remember what was on it. So keep all these things safe in a notebook. It is far more reliable than bits of paper that are disorganised or random post it notes that are easy to lose.
Don’t write down routine jobs.
This will over complicate things and make the list look more daunting. For example don’t write ‘Do food shopping on Thursday’ if that is your regular day for grocery shopping. Save the space for more important remimders like bills, or appointments.
PLAN AHEAD
At the end of the week or at the start of the new week plan what needs to get done. This saves a last minute panic remembering that you forgot something that needed to be done. Plan them and spread them out throughout the week, in order of top priority and deadlines.
NIGHT BEFORE
- Cut down on chaos by doing as much as you can the night before. For example lay out clothes for the next day, and fix the lunches ect
- After cleaning the table from dinner, why not set up ready for breakfast by laying out bowls, spoons ect. So there is less to do in the morning.
DO 1 UN-PLEASANT JOB A DAY
Set a goal to do one job that you dislike each day. ie certain housework jobs. You will feel a sense of achievement every time its done. Plus it will motivate you to finish other goals that aren’t as bad.
ODDS AND ENDS
Containers can help keep small items from getting mislaid. For example a hook by the front door for all the keys, a bowl on the sideboard for jewellery/change, a letter rack for all the bills, and a cup for pens and pencils and other stationary so you never have to go on a search for a pen again.
If you are fed up of tidying up after someone else get a box, a spare draw or shelf and collect their out of place things and store them there. It will stop the house from looking messy as all the bits are in one safe pile. It will also save you time putting them in their proper homes. The person they belong to ie a child, can collect them from the designated spot each day and put them away themselves. Also when they ask where a certain item is you can point them in the right direction as it won’t be misplaced.
