My Life Organized
Keeping organized can be very difficult if you lead a busy life. It requires that you have a little self-discipline. Keeping your life in order may not be as hard as it sounds if you follow a few basic tips.
You may find it helpful to create a homepage on your computer that displays your e-mail, your calendar, your deadlines, and your to do list. If you work at the computer, it is easy to add things to the list, delete as you go, and be reminded of what you have left to do every day as you work. You may also find it useful to have internet access from your phone. If you keep track of what needs to be done online, then you can access it from just about anywhere. No more losing little reminder notes!
Paying bills online can help you to keep your finances in order. Choose a bank that has online bill pay for free. Enter all of your debtors, utilities and payments. The bank’s system will show you the amount that you paid and on what date. If there is ever a question about whether or not you have paid something yet, you can just log in and see. You will never have checks out that might bounce, and you will never accidentally pay more than you have in the bank, because you won’t be able to.
It helps even more if you only pay your bills on certain dates. Ideally, you should set up the payment dates for all of your bills near the end of the month. Some companies will let you choose or change your due date if you ask. Pay all of your bills on the first of the month if possible. If you ever get behind on money, you’ll have time to make up the difference before any payments are actually late.
Once you have your schedule and your finances in order, you can work on your home environment. Clutter in the home can make organization impossible. Come up with a system that works for you. You don’t have to do it all at once. But, pay attention to what is piling up.
If you are slowly but surely accumulating a stack of mail, school work, magazines and newspapers on your kitchen table or counter, then you need to make a place for these things. A simple magazine rack, some baskets, or bins by the front door can save you lots of time and headache.
Another problem with home organization is keeping things that you use everyday where they belong. Make sure that your entryway is equipped for backpacks, shoes, coats, umbrellas, wallets, keys and cell phones. Whatever you and your family are coming in and shedding should have a specific place. Stock your coat closet with clothes hangers and use them! Don’t allow coats to gather up around the door or on a chair in the living room. A good coat hanger will generally be a wood hanger. Quality hangers are important because they keep coats from losing their shape or ending up on the floor.
Getting your schedule, finances and the entrance to your house organized should not take very long and should actually free up more time in your schedule.
