To achieve your goals, it’s important not only aspiration and great willpower. This is self-organization.
A person who cannot organize his life is unlikely to reach certain heights in his career. Although this is not just about the professional side of life.
Every day you need to allocate time to communicate with loved ones, also do not forget about yourself. Everyone should be able to be alone with themselves. Unfortunately, there are not 28 hours in a day, but you can learn to keep up with everything.
There are tons of ways to plan your life. You probably heard about time management, most likely, you even applied these rules in practice, or at least tried to figure them out.
Again, for most people, abstruse articles and books are bored, and the desire to change something in their life quickly disappears.
If you want to learn how to manage your time, read our article. Below are 10 ways to organize your life in a week.
You can change yourself, your attitude to life in the shortest possible time, and the result will not be long in coming. Thanks to these methods, you will become a highly efficient person.
10. Perform a spring cleaning
Perhaps this advice will disappoint someone, it is boring to start a new life with a banal cleaning. Do not ignore it. To begin with, remember how much time you spend searching for the lost thing: clothes, keys, wallet, cosmetics.
Unorganized people usually discover before leaving that their favorite shirt has disappeared, or even a second boot has disappeared. On the little things, such as a diary or red lipstick, you can not even talk. At the right time, they can never be found.
It is unlikely that you will manage to make out all your "wealth" in a week. Place your order in the nightstands, cabinets that you use regularly. Disassemble clothes and personal items, throw away everything you don’t use.
You will be surprised, but after cleaning you will have at least an extra half an hour a day.
9. Learn to put things in place
You will have a little time only if you try to save the cleaning work, that is, learn to put things in place.
If you have a family, much more will have to be done. If all your family members are used to throwing clothes and things wherever they want, you can only sympathize.
The main thing is not to despair. You can teach them a few lessons, for example, hide an abandoned thing.
Of course, before you train loved ones, start with yourself. Perhaps after you set a good example, they will gladly begin to live by the new rules.
8. Set goals
To streamline your life, you need to determine your goals. Think about what you want to achieve in life and correctly prioritize. A lot depends on the goal setting.
If a person rushes from one extreme to another, his plans are constantly changing, what kind of organization can we talk about?
You will not achieve anything if you set yourself too many goals. Your life will resemble chaos.
7. Spend your day right
Many people make a daily plan, but few adhere to it. The fact is that they do not think about whether they will be able to master such a volume of work, but simply enter into the diary what comes to mind.
If you want to be in time, correctly distribute your day. How to do this, everyone decides for himself. There is no consensus here. It is convenient for someone to sort things out according to the degree of importance and urgency, while others focus on their mood or well-being during the day.
Do not forget about daily activity. It’s stupid to plan, work with documents in the late evening, if you are an early bird. If you are an owl, then the planned morning run is sure to break.
6. Learn to say no
Much of the time is spent on performing small tasks that are not related to your core business? Most likely, you also do not have a single free minute at home; everyone who is not too lazy is asking for help.
Conduct an experiment, during the day say “no” to those things that do not fit into your plan. You will do much more in a day than usual.
Of course, at first it was not easy to refuse people their requests. Take this phrase: "I would be happy to help, but my time is scheduled in minutes."
Do not overdo it, do not refuse to help people who really need it.
5. Let yourself rest
Give yourself 15 to 20 minutes each day. At this time, do what you want, what inspires you. Look out the window, meditate, think about the future, dream. Let yourself stop.
If you have a family, it is better to do this in the evening, when no one will interfere. If you prefer to move forward without pauses and stops, life will still make you “rest”. You may get sick, or other circumstances may arise in which you have to briefly distract from work and achieve your goals.
4. Give attention to your loved ones
Take some time daily to chat with loved ones. Let it be 15 minutes, but you completely devote this time to your husband, son or daughter.
Children suffer most from lack of attention. Such small temporary blocks will establish contact, they will no longer feel abandoned.
Allocate 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the evening - on weekdays this is enough. No one offers you to leave your child to the mercy of fate, limiting communication to a quarter of an hour.
Of course, he will not go anywhere, he will get in the way under your feet while you cook dinner and clean up. But only at this time you are busy with other things, so you can not fully concentrate on the child.
3. Get healthy habits
At first glance, it may seem that good habits will take away your time, which is already lacking. Morning exercise or a jog in the park, a wholesome breakfast, pool - these are the things that will help you stay in shape.
You will feel vigor and a surge of strength. To do this, it is not necessary to engage in a gym for 1.5 hours. You can limit yourself to morning exercises or evening walks.
These habits will reassure you. Whatever happens, there will always be constant things in your life. Let it be just exercise, breakfast or meditation.
2. Do not panic if something goes wrong
It often happens that all our plans collapse. For example, today you wanted to complete a report, buy a new table, swim in the pool. All your plans had to be canceled due to a child’s illness or a flood in the apartment.
Do not panic, calm down. In life there will always be a place for accidents and surprises, and not always pleasant.
Think about how you can get out of this situation. Maybe the report can be completed at home, and a table can be ordered on the Internet, take a bath instead of the pool.
If you can’t do anything, just adjust your plans for the coming week.
1. Improve your time management system constantly
You can build an ideal time management system for quite some time, but don't expect it to work for you for the rest of your life.
Some changes are constantly taking place in life: new work with a different schedule, moving, studying children. You have to constantly adjust it. Prepare yourself to never achieve perfection.
Do not give up. After all, have you freed up a few minutes a day to communicate with children, to yourself? You no longer have to run every morning in search of a second sock or a red (black / white) bag?
Do you know what you are striving for and do everything for this? So, the work was done not in vain, and your time management system is quite effective.
