There are usually two categories of people: those who are organized without fault and those who would lose their heads if they weren’t attached to their bodies. Should it be that you fall into this category, then this is for you:
1. Don’t just drop things and exit.
These are habits that organized people tend to keep, which helps make their lives a lot better and easier.
One of which is putting things where they need to go instead of dropping them on the nearest table and getting back to them moments before whatever they’re looking for is needed.
2. Make a list.
One of the first things you should consider doing if you actually want to get more organized in your life is to create a list of what you need to get done.
This will help you prepare in advance and execute the plans easily without procrastinating and letting them pile up.
3. Practice Accountability
There’s actually nothing that’s ever going to change if you don’t hold yourself accountable for your actions.
Check in with yourself on your goals and develop an accountability system with others.
4. Keep your environment clean.
More especially, the space you operate in on a daily basis can affect the way you work; it is your responsibility to ensure that it is neat and clean so that you concentrate and don’t have distractions along the way.
There’s a saying that goes around that says, “When our space is a mess, so are we.” It’s important to embrace this and work towards ensuring that we are as clean and good as possible.
5. Maintain your hidden spaces.
It’s actually not possible to hide everything on your desks and tables in closets and drawers.
If you truly want to get organized, then you need to start properly maintaining the spaces out of public view in your home.
Consider having a spot where you can dispose of any junk in a laundry basket so that your place looks organized and you can easily toss items guilt-free into their new homes. How about you try this today? Arrange everything today and let everything have its spot. Walk, dust the place, clean it, walk out, and then come back inside. Take a look at it. Does it please you?
6. Clean Your Digital Life
Managing your digital life is also very basic and essential, aside from organizing yourself as an individual.
How do you treat your machine? Do you dust it daily? Do you clean the history and clear all the unwanted files? Are your folders organized and labeled well? Look into that as well.
You first start by storing all your documents, which is done by backing up. Once your backup is done, you should delete everything you don’t need. Then turn your attention to your web browser and email inbox.
Make sure you use the web browser wisely and set up different accounts to keep your different online needs separated. Focus on using bookmarks strategically, hiding apps in folders, and aiming to get your inbox down to zero on a regular basis.
