Do you feel like your life needs a simple yet effective way to get organised?
Read on for our top tips on planning and organisation.
Write lists
One of the easiest ways to start organising your life is to write lists, and check them off. Not only is it 100% satisfying to cross items off once you’ve completed them, but the psychology behind list writing helps hold your plans and tasks to account.Keep it simple
Don’t include every single detail for your plan. Include only 3 to 5 of your most urgent or important tasks or activities for each day. This technique allows you to keep your list manageable and achievable. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself with an unrealistic amount of list items.Choose 1 item to do at a time
Pick one list item and stick to it. Don’t quit until you’re done and ready to cross it off your list.Make organising beautiful
If you’re going to be staring at your plan each day, you want it to look good. Buy a special marker in your favourite colour and use a weekly fridge planner that’s attractive and inviting to use.Create a good habit
Until you’re into the groove of organising, utilise your weekly planner and add your first to do item as planning your week. Once you’re settled in to your new routine, filling out your calendar will become second nature.
Organising your entire life can seem challenging at first, however breaking each step down into pieces and allocating action to urgent items and tasks first will create a flow of organisation. Feel the satisfaction in each item being crossed off your list, and remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Take each step at a time and acknowledge each win, no matter how small.
