How to Organize Information and Tidy up Your Thoughts

... for organizing information:

• Location: put the most relevant stuff to be within reach.
• Alphabet: for organizing lists of people and statistics, dictionaries, and official documents.
• Time: used when providing step by step instructions or when things have to be in chronological order.
• Category: organize information by similarity or relatedness.
• Hierarchy: organizing information that is used collectively to compare things.

It's a method of capturing thoughts and organizing them in a visual way.

This is an extremely effective tool to organize what matters most to you: If something is relevant to your goals and desires, write it down. If not, remove it from your mind.

Make a to-do list every day and use that to organize the most important tasks for you to complete that day.

Lists help to organize what must be done and give you a sense of time management as well.

Put the notes that you make into specific groups of information. For example, if you have a lot of information on business ideas, or opportunities, write them in a book or place them in a digital document.

Toss out the information you no longer need or have tried before.

This strategy takes the idea of making lists to the next level: summarizing the information you consume or placing the key points in a list you can consult later.

It doesn’t have to be organized in a collection or anything. The idea is that it’ll be easier to digest and process later when your brain has energy.
