When everything is organized we can do more, achieve more, become more, and enjoy everything more too, can't we? Can't you?
Are you Overwhelmed? Frustrated? Dissatisfied? Life throws a lot at you. How are you managing it all until now?
I might be biased, because it's my great passion, but I believe Life Organization is the biggest frontier of development opening up this decade.
Are you ready for that?! But what is it exactly that you are searching the net for regarding how to organize life? What does it really mean to organize life?
Maybe you are looking for an all encompassing solution, maybe you just want temporary techniques, or perhaps some key permanent principles of how to organize life.
To organize life you will capture every worthwhile thought to efficiently choose your actions for all that is important to you, without wasting time or losing time, and allowing you to succeed at whatever you desire.
At times we get off track, whether practically, or with our efficiency, or emotionally.
At those times, you can do a 10 Minute Get-on-track review: Writing out everything that is pressing or weighing on your mind.
The following categories of self-questions help me do my organize life 10 minute focus sessions.
Organize Life for Self - Touching on my emotions and physical experience. Accept and appreciate how I feel right now. This is the core of how to organize life. It starts from within.
Organize Life for Yesterday - I then take a moment to reflect on yesterday, as that is where I have come from.
Organize Life for Today - Think of the fixed appointments, the general layout of the day, and the areas of the day where you decide exactly how to spend the time.
Organize Life for Civilisation - What do you want to do in society? What is your place and purpose in terms of contribution and business?
Organize Life for Ideally Organized Living - What is the most ideal situation for your life? What things would you love to do, have, and be?
Organize Life for Projects - Now you are ready to consider the actual projects and responsibilities that you have in your life. Tasks, hobbies, interests, pursuits, business ideas, etc.
Organize Life for Right Now - Through the above self-question process you are probably now ready to decide on the next step activities to organize your life even more.
This 10 minute review might take longer when you first do it. Take your time with it, and remember this article. I can guarantee by doing this simple 10 minute process regularly your life will become more and more organized.
In personal development growth occurs more easily when we create space to grow. In order to experience living beyond limits in business or personal lives we must rid ourselves of the chaos and clutter that keeps us clogged up. To change life and business begin by getting organized.
1- Know Your Top Priority Zones- Focus on 3 to 5. Top priority zones are the most valuable areas of your life. Consider the roles you play throughout the day. What means the most to you long-term? Examples are spirituality, self-care, family, business, career, home, education, hobbies, volunteer work, etc. To make the best time management decisions know your priorities. You will be challenged by a new opportunity. Does it honor your priorities? If not, say 'no' for now.
Under each top priority zone list the top 3-5 priorities. For instance, under self-care you could have exercise, take vitamins, eat 5 fruits/ vegetables, read for 30 minutes, and drink 8 glasses of water daily. The more you can simplify and get focused the better.
2- Schedule Blocks of Time- Blocks of time for your various priority zones give you time and a clear focus on the priorities in each area. Consider how much time you need and how much you can commit to each priority. When is the best time of day to schedule it so that you follow through? Customize your schedule to fit your energy level and personality so your time is used efficiently.
3- Now you can create your "to do" list or "toleration" list- What are you putting up with that needs to be handled. Get it out of your head and into a system such as a list, daytimer, palm pilot, blackberry, computer, etc. Plan to do it, delegate it, or dump it. What can you let go of? Give yourself permission to let go so you can focus on what will make the greatest difference.
4- Systematize- Create systems that save you time and make life easier. If there is an area not working for you chances are it is in need of a simple system. How often are you running to the store and what can you do to make one trip? When you buy something new, get rid of something old so your closets never get packed. How can you spend less time waiting in lines, managing e-mail, and handling paperwork? What marketing system can you put in place so you know exactly what to do each day. Create a home for everything so you know exactly where items go. Instead of items landing where they were left have a designated space for office supplies, a space for hardware, etc. Pick up more ideas at .
5- Set Yourself Up for Peak Performance- Take regular breaks to rejuvenate. In the book the Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal, the authors Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz suggest taking 10 minute breaks every 90 minutes. Get plenty of sleep and choose healthy energy sources vs. adrenaline for endurance. By the way...I hope you chose self-care as one of your top priorities.
Take a day off, get help, do what it takes to organize your life and business. Save time doing what you don't like and more time doing what gets you pumped. That's when you will bubble over sharing the special gifts you have to offer and we will all be better off. StartingNow!
