9 Great Tips to Keep Your Life Organized

March 5, 2020

Being organized isn’t a virtue that is acquired by birth. Instead, it comes from cultivating healthy habits, which can enable you to put your life in order. Whether you find yourself a fairly organized person or a very disorganized one, there’s always room for improvement!

From making a habit of noting things down, planning, and ditching unnecessary items, there are several strategies that you can apply to your life to achieve more order and coordination. They include the following:

1. Build a routine and stick with it

As the years pass by, we tend to solidify certain habits and develop routines that determine the actions that we take both consciously and unknowingly. Taking up good habits can make you feel good and set you up for success. On the other hand, bad habits will rob you of your time, money, happiness, and health.

It is, therefore, essential to look into your life and determine the habits that you need to let go of while developing new ones that can help you achieve your goals. Once you have selected the habits you want to take up in your life, assemble them into a daily routine. Doing this helps to keep you productive and reduce instances of distraction and procrastination.

2. Write things down

We all know of a person who seems to remember everything. They send cards for every holiday or birthday and make phone calls to congratulate you on every anniversary. You might be surprised to find out that this doesn’t come as a result of their excellent memory. The main reason why their life seems so organized is that they tend to write things down!

Developing the same habit is a great way to boost your memory and organize your life. Writing is also much more permanent and helps eliminate the need to contain essential reminders or dates in your mind, which can confuse you. It also helps to complete tasks such as shopping much faster.

3. Always plan ahead

Life is filled with numerous unpredictable twists and turns. This being the case, a little planning can go a long way. Consider setting aside some time to plan your day and map out your week. It can help you keep track of any significant events, such as an upcoming presentation or a doctor’s appointment.

Ensure that you schedule every important event, activity, and project on your calendar and add each task to your to-do list. This way, you can fit each of them into the week’s confines and make sure that you give each task enough focus.

You can also make a budget plan for expensive projects like home repairs and renovations. This can ensure that you are well prepared to take up these tasks as well as save money on unnecessary expenditures if you undertake regular maintenance. For instance, you can look for a companies that can provide Roof Replacement Brisbane (or elsewhere) for routine upkeep of house roofing.

Preplanned tasks can provide you enough time to prepare for them beforehand, which can reduce a lot of stress.

4. Aim for consistency over perfection

Many people have the “all-or-nothing” attitude. Unfortunately, it can lead to self-sabotage. Setting unrealistic expectations for yourself can cause you to give up altogether whenever they are not met. Instead, consider applying compound effort and incremental progress to your tasks for better results.

The best way to achieve this is by creating realistic plans. Be consistent and make room for imperfection. Apply continuous effort towards a realistic aim to create room for the things you wish to accomplish in life.

5. Store everything appropriately

Organizing your life entails keeping everything in the proper place. The secret of most organized people is storing everything in the appropriate place and labeling the storage spaces. For additional order, make an easy-to-access storage space for things that you often use and do not allow them to get cluttered. If you have stuff that you don’t use but also don’t want to get rid of, look into Lynchburg storage units as they can be an affordable way to keep your clutter out the way!

If you have no idea how to get started, you can experiment with a specific room or area in your home. Take time to organize it to your satisfaction, and when you are done, you can move on to the next room until your entire house is neat and orderly. If you still do not have enough space to accommodate all your belongings, you can always store them at a storage unit in your locality. This way, you can remain at ease knowing your belongings can remain safe while also ensuring that you have enough space.

6. Keep your phone and computer organized

Just like your house, clutter is bound to build up in your phone or computer over some time. It can cause you to waste a significant amount of time as you browse through hundreds of files to find an important document or thousands of downloads to find a memorable picture.

To avoid such chaos, consider cleaning your phone and personal computer regularly. For information on how to clean up your iPhone, click this link to learn more.

7. Find a balance

In an attempt to organize your life to perfection, you might find yourself losing balance. For instance, you may find yourself working in the wee hours of the night instead of going to bed or studying all weekend for an upcoming test instead of meeting up with friends.

While applying such strategies can be beneficial in the short term, it can have various detrimental effects if it becomes a habit. You may find yourself experiencing burnout, anxiety, stress, or lethargy as a result. Instead, aim to find a balance between your responsibilities and self-care for long-term sustainability.

In addition to taking occasional pauses and breathers, find time for longer breaks. Try to take a week-long break from work once or twice annually. Doing this will help to rejuvenate your body and mind and lead to better performance when you resume work.

8. Keep only what you need

The more things you have in your house, the more cluttered it is likely to become. If you aim to have an organized life, keep only what you need. Having fewer items also means that you enjoy using the things you own more often instead of letting a more significant portion of your belongings sit and collect dust.

If you feel like you have inadequate space to keep everything you own, consider getting rid of some things or finding storage space to keep some of your belongings for future use.

9. Measure your progress

Whether your goal is big or small, it is impossible to know how you are doing if you don’t keep track of your progress. Knowing what is working for you and what isn’t is a powerful tool for reaching your goals. It is, therefore, essential to measure your progress and do away with the things that have little or no impact on your life.

An organized life is always more rewarding and fulfilling. Consider adopting some of the above tips to make your life more orderly and productive!
