Late arrivals, missed assignments, forgotten birthdays, lost keys… at this point, you may just be used to saying, “I’m sorry.” With a complete lack of organization, it’s no surprise that you're constantly apologizing and getting stressed out. Those days can end though and you can be on your way to a happier, more structured life.
Today, we are going to provide you with some strategies to do exactly that so you can be a more organized and productive person.
The truth is that people are not born as organized individuals. They learn and become better over time. So even if you think you're a very disorganized person right now, there's hope!
From planning things to ditching the unnecessary, you will be coordinating your life better than ever in a blink of an eye.
The secret formula? Learning what works best for YOU!
Here are the essential habits that will help you be organized, productive, and successful.
Use Organizational Tools!
At Attitude is Free, we believe that every day is an adventure. There will always be twists and turns, but you can plan for them!
Make sure to outsource your brain as much as possible by using calendars, planners, lists, phone reminders, or helpful apps. You might even want to try a rubber band on your wrist!
Your system doesn’t have to look nice and be perfect. It just has to work, and the only way you can find out if it will is by putting it into practice!
Find the proper mechanisms that are truly useful for your lifestyle and implement them!
First, try using a simple notepad or the notes tool in your phone and make lists of everything you need to do daily, weekly, etc.
From there you can move on to even more elaborate tools that suit your needs.
Write Everything Down
Planning and organizing are a lot easier when you can take everything out of your head. Doing so will help to eliminate all the worries, thoughts, doubts, or distractions!
There is no limit when writing down tasks, so get creative & prioritize anything by using colors, signs, or stickers!
We promise that you will feel like a leaf in the wind when putting everything in your head down on paper. You'll have your mind clear and be able to get everything done at the end of the week!
In fact, it will actually save you hours of time which you can use to pick up a new hobby, spend time with family and friends or in any other way you please.
Make the most of your time with a to-do list that syncs on your mobile phone. Add stuff as you remember and include due dates for more prompt reminders!
Organize Your Workspace
Is your workspace a mess? A messy desk can be an eyesore and make it difficult to focus.
But don't let that stop you--it's easy enough to get organized! Here are some tips that can help:
1. Go through every item on your desk and ask yourself if you need it. Keep the stuff you use and need; toss the things you don't.
2. At the end of every day, take the time to wipe down your desk before you head out.
3. Keep important papers neatly stacked in labeled folders, so they're easily accessible when needed. It’s time to get rid of those messy piles.
4. Maintain separate locations for supplies like markers, pens, paper clips, etc., instead of having them scattered about.
After the clutter has been cleared and your desk is fully organized, you will notice a difference in your life right away - from having more physical space, you will gain a clearer mind and much greater productivity.
Arrange Your Closet
Organizing your closet may seem like a menial task, but it can make all the difference when you're trying to find something or save time. It is important to start your day off right and with a messy closet, you will incorporate unnecessary frustration in your life.
At Attitude Is Free, we believe that the styles you love should be kept, and we have an easy way for sorting them:
1. Gather some supplies, including a “toss” basket.
2. Empty the closet of all contents-clothing, shoes, closet organizers, etc.
3. Wipe down the shelves, closet rod, walls, and baseboards.
4. Go through your clothes and donate/sell what you don't need.
5. Organize everything by color and style.
Get ready for a game-changer! After this, you'll be on the road to a happier lifestyle...plus you will have the added benefit of looking great every day!
Get Organized With Your Meals
We are all living in a fast-paced world. Meal planning and prepping may not seem necessary, but it is the perfect solution for your busy life! Meal prep will ensure you are at peak physical health, and you will feel coordinated while eating on the go.
There is nothing better than walking in the door after work and knowing dinner is already prepared - it is a win-win all around!
Here are some tips:
1. Try to do your weekly grocery shop on the weekend rather than waiting until Monday.
2. Prepare your meals in advance and keep them in the fridge.
3. When the week is over, plan the menu for the coming days.
