Introduction

Welcome to How to Be Organized. The following chapters will discuss how important organizational skills are not only in your personal life but also in your work. When we are young, our parents keep telling us to clean our room and keep it tidy. Keeping everything tidy and organized has psychology that works behind this idea, and that is – when things are in order, people feel motivated to put in more effort. On the other hand, when everything around you is in a state of clutter, all the positive energy is automatically sucked out and you will feel lazy and tired.

If your to-do-lists are overflowing and there are piles of things lying around here and there, it can hamper your productivity. This can, in turn, lead to depression and stress. In this guide, you will learn how you can be organized in every sphere of your life and keep it simple. The process is explained in a step-by-step manner, which will make it easier for you to implement the steps in your life. So, if you lack dreams and aspirations and if you think that you do not have a proper routine, then it is time to change all of that and organize your life. And once you start doing everything mentioned in this guide, you will see that you have much more extra time, which you can use to do the things you love.

Chapter 1: Step 1 – Make Schedules

No one is born organized. Everyone learns the skill in the course of their life, and so can you. So, even if you are the most disorganized person you know, it’s time to make some changes starting with your lifestyle. You not only have to learn about organizing your life but also your work, and only then can you be completely organized. For this, you have to ditch the unnecessary and start decluttering. The first step towards this journey starts with writing things down and making schedules.

Everyone has that one person in their life who remembers everything starting from birthdays to meetings, but anyone can do that only if they start to write everything down. It is a habit that you have to inculcate, and it is no rocket science. Why complicate your life when you can simplify it with only a pen and paper? Make it a habit of writing everything like a to-do list from important events like meetings to even your grocery list. This will save you a lot of time because you don’t have to think about what you forgot. You will recognize what you have to do in an instant and get going. This, in turn, will also enhance your work organization skills and help you to stay productive.

But sometimes people find that they have a lot of things to write down and this confuses them even more. So, in this chapter (which is step 1 of becoming more organized), I am going to teach you how you can build your own schedules in the most efficient manner.

Identify Available Time

The first thing that you have to do is figure out your available time in a day. Now, if you say that you work 24 hours a day, then that is not the right answer because if you work the whole day, it simply means that you lack a routine or schedule. So, you should start by thinking about what time do you want to be available for work. Specify those hours. If you work at a full-time job, then you already have a very clear perspective of what your work hours are, and this available time should be based on that. If you are a freelancer, then it is even more important to figure out your available time. If
