Do you have any special tips on how you organize your life?
3 Most Important Tasks. Writing down and making a mental note of my top 3 tasks to get done for the day. Everything else seems to fall into place if I do that.
A sheet of paper and a calendar. I’ve found that the easiest way to organize myself, my days and so forth is a good paper calendar, a sheet of paper that I divide into four sections and a medium sized white board. For my paper, the top left section is my actual running to do list for today. The top right section is my running grocery list or list of things I must purchase. The bottom left is for notes such as calls I made, who I spoke to, appointment dates. The bottom right is whatever I need to move to another day. If I’m told to call back on Monday, then I note that on the calendar.
You control your life. Whatever electronics or paper you use, make them work for YOU, not the other way around. Do you really have to check your email every 5 minutes? Maybe, but I bet you’ll get a whole lot more done if you check it a few times per day. That goes for the iPhone too! After all, there are so many tools, and one to fit everyone – so use what works, but make it work for you!
Put it away now, not tomorrow! The single, simplest thing I do to stay personally organized is to put whatever tool, item, clothing, bag, hairbrush etc., away immediately after using it. I always know where everything and anything is so I never waste time looking for something. Very efficient. I could tell a stranger where to find anything in my home.
Make use of the word no! It's just fine to say no when it is something you don't have the energy to do or simply just don't want to do.
