10 Simple Rules to Stay Organized Every Day
We all are juggling life’s important areas:
Work — Health — Fitness — Finances — Relationships
It is not easy to juggle so many things all at once, and some areas may get neglected. Here are the simple 10 steps you find useful to organize your life.
Finding Balance
In our pursuit of perfection, we neglect balance by doing what’s urgent over what matters.
This can lead to stress, burnout, and feelings, drained and lethargic:
• Avoid spending too much time at work.
• Clear your information overload.
Making Reasonable Choices
You should choose your wardrobe, your exercise routine, and your recreational habits according to you.
For example: If you don’t like reading, opt for podcasts or watch informing documentaries.
Let it Drop
To make time to accommodate what’s important, we may have to say “No” to certain commitments and remove certain areas from high priority.
Deprioritize what is urgent but not important.
Your Natural Instincts
Opt for actions and daily habits that naturally align with you, or are less of a challenge.
Be realistic and commit for the long haul.
Declutter and Simplify
Too much stuff around you means too much to think about, too much to do, leading to chaos.
Just like a to-do list takes care of our mental chaos, we should clean and declutter stuff around us, so we are able to think better.
Developing Habits
We all have habits ingrained in our lives.
Most of our good habits take us to eventual long-term success, and our bad habits take our time, health, happiness, and money.
Develop a habit that increases your efficiency rather than wastes your time.
Planning ahead
Life is unpredictable, but planning is still important.
Use your phone’s calendar and to-do list, or install an app to create daily and weekly plans.
Perfection is a Myth
We cannot keep self-sabotaging ourselves by failing at our unrealistic expectations.
We can opt for consistency, understanding the impact of incremental progress. Opt for continuous effort towards a realistic, doable target.
Weekly reviews
It’s important to measure your progress, reviewing every aspect of planning and execution.
Track your time and progress with a good app on your smartphone. Minimize distracted and zero productivity time.
Deep Work
Most of us keep doing seemingly urgent work (answering a phone, replying to an email, etc.) but this only gives an illusion of productivity.
Real productivity is distraction-free high-impact work that you must find time to do daily.
