Finding ways to organize my life has been essential to accomplishing my goals, being more productive and using my time effectively. Building a great toolbox of healthy habits and routines has kept me more focused and less stressed.
| Here are some awesome ways that I organize my life: |
|---|
| Make a weekly and daily to-do list. There are many ways to write out your to do list with all the technology of today but for me the easiest and most effective way is good old-fashioned notepad and pen. |
| Weekly huddles with my mentor or an accountability partner. I find that having someone I trust know my goals makes me want to stick to them more. I meet with my mentor once on Monday to set goals and once on Friday to follow up and celebrate my accomplishment. |
| Use calendar applications and make deadlines. I use the calendar on my phone, a work calendar and also a magnetic calendar. I keep everything synced to maximize my ability to manage my time. |
| Keep a master list of my goals. I use a magnetic dry erase board to write my short-term and long-term goals. This helps with always having a visual of the things I want to accomplish so I don't procrastinate as much. |
| Keep a book of action plans. I keep a notebook with tabbed sections for each area of my life. I write action plans so that I always have things to choose from and work on during any given week. |
| Keep important files in a filing cabinet and copies on a personal cloud drive. This helps with always having my documents accessible when needed. |
| Use the organization features in my email client. |
| Delegate simple tasks so that I can focus on the more complex ones. |
| Meal Planning |
| Declutter at least biweekly. |
| Write a three month budget. Use tracking tools to stay on course |
| Start tasks early and prioritize only the things that will make the biggest impact. |
| Most importantly I maintain a good balance between all areas of my life so I don't overwhelm myself. |
