5 Organization Tips

I haven’t always been an organized person. It wasn’t until middle school that I started developing organization techniques that helped me stay organized. At first, it was a challenge, and I wanted to turn back to my old disorganized habits. But I pushed through it and developed habits that helped me stay organized and reduced my stress. So if you’re looking to become an organized person and increase your productivity, here are five organization techniques that’ll help you become an organized person.

Declutter Regularly

Find time each week to declutter and organize. Stuff does not stay organized on its own. So it needs to be reorganized continuously and consistently. For example, my purse is something that becomes cluttered with receipts, wrappers, loose change, and notes. So if I don’t take the time to declutter it, once or twice throughout the week. My purse can become a mess, which can make it harder for me to find things inside of it.

Keep a to-do list

Creating a to-do list is a great way to stay organized and keep track of the task you need to complete as well as deadlines. I create a to-do list daily and prioritize my tasks by separating them into categories.

My first category is my must-do task. They are tasks that I need to complete by the end of the day. So I make sure I complete those tasks first before moving on to my could do tasks. These are tasks that need to complete but not right away. After completing my should do tasks I move on to my could do tasks or I take a break. The last list of tasks are things that are high on my priorities list. They don’t have a deadline and can be completed whenever.

By keeping a to-do list and prioritizing tasks I’m able to tackle high priority tasks first and move on to other tasks if I have the time. This way I don’t feel stressed out or overwhelmed keeping a to-do list.

Make Plans for Larger Task

When it comes to large projects it’s best to have a plan before getting started. So take large tasks and break them into smaller tasks so that they are manageable and less intimidating. When it comes to larger tasks I break them down into smaller tasks and create a to-do list. For example, if I am working on a cosplay build, I look at each part of the build and make a to-do list for each part. Then I work on each section until I have a completed cosplay. So if you have a large task that you have to finish considering making a plan for it and breaking into small tasks.

Put Things Back in Their Place

It’s easy to lose something when it’s not put back in its proper place. For example, if the remote to the TV isn’t in it’s designated spot, I’ll turn the living room upside down looking for it. So it’s important to have a place for everything and that it’s put back in its proper place when you’re done using it.

Ditch What’s not Working

If something isn’t working for you, consider trying something else. One year I tried to go digital and ditched my planner for my phone and tablet. But I found myself getting distracted by notifications, and I would forget to enter things in. Since it wasn’t working for me, I went back to using a planner. If you’re finding it hard to stick to an organization technique, ditch and try something new.

Becoming an organized person isn’t impossible. Long as you create develop organization habits that work for you. I hope these organization techniques give you an idea of what habits to develop and what to ditch. What are some things you do to stay organized?
