5 Easy Steps on How to Organize Your Life Right Now

-

These are the 5 easy steps on how to organize your life right now. They are;

1.Prioritize: You’ve got to believe in yourself that you can be the conqueror of clutter. The way to do this is to hone in on what needs to be organized. Don’t be daunted. Think what areas are the most disorganized? What areas are stressing you out and making it difficult for you to achieve certain tasks like scheduling meetings or fixing supper? Start that checklist and tackle one before moving onto the next.

2.Get rid of junk regularly: A big key to how to organize your life is spending time on a regular basis whether it be every week or every month to go through and declutter. Get rid of things you don’t need. A rule i have for clothes and personal items is if i haven’t used it in a year to bring it to good will or a consignment shop. Also, if i purchase something new like a new sweater or pair of shoes that means i must get rid of something. This also helps fight the clutter war.

3.Give everything a home: Some people love, love, love label makers and i never quite understood it. Those little machines seem to have an underground fan club of highly organized people and now i know why I've learned those little things can be a powerful weapon when it comes to getting organized. Pick one up and head to the Container Store and get a host of bins, boxes and folders. Give everything in your life its designated place if everything has a home, you’ll lessen your chances of losing anything. Think of the time you’ll save not looking for your keys. This goes for email too or create folders and send those emails home.

4.Share the work: One of the perks of being really organized is freedom from being really stressed and overwhelmed and freedom from being really stressed and overwhelmed means demands that you not have too much on your plate. Really organized people know how to delegate. If you find that your plate is overflowing, prioritize and consider dropping or delegating the less important tasks. It’s okay to cancel plans so that you have time to think or even just to breathe that brings me to my last secret of how to organize your life.

5.Stop trying to be perfect: Organized people have the image of being perfectionists but the truth is they aren’t. It’s just the illusion they’ve created because they have the space and time to do what’s important well. If you feel like you must do everything perfectly, you’re not going to get anything done. So try to do the best you can for the most important stuff and be okay with good enough for the others or ask for help. This will help you combat procrastination and free up your time.

Since i discovered these secrets of how to organize one’s life and work I've been much more productive while being less stressed. It seems contradictory but by investing a little bit of time into organizing every day I've been able to have more time to do the things i want and do them well.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
