1. Make a Daily Routine

“For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.”

First key to organizing is to organize our time . Write down your daily routine. This is pretty basic, but it is one of the most important things you can do to manage your time.

2. Check Your Routine

Once you’ve put your routine down on paper, make sure to check it everyday. Ideally, looking at your schedule each morning helps to put the day in perspective. Overtime, you may change your routine, but it will happen naturally.

If we let it, life can get in the way. But by writing down our routine, checking it for a minute or two each day, and continuing this habit, we can eventually find a way to not let life get in the way.

Start with organizing just one thing . Write down in your daily routine that you will devote some time each day to organizing that one thing.

If it’s the living room that you want to organize, then break the room into sections and organize it day by day.

Organizing things week to week might actually start to become, should I dare say, fun!

5. Repeat

Once you reach the thirteenth item on the list, start again at the first one.

If you make notes while you organize, then you can look back to see how much has changed since you organized 13 weeks ago.

The notes will also help you to see what you could work on to make keeping the place better organized.

A medical student!🩺 I’d like to live as simply as possible. I love reading- regardless of what type of book it is. People are wonderful, especially those closest to me. I’m determined to do some good for others in whatever I end up doing in the future.
