How To Organize Your Life – Start With These 3 Tips
Want to know how to organize your life? Here are 3 super simple tips to help you start mastering your life today.
Let’s chat about how to organize your life, during the good times and the less lovely ones.
First the good news: from getting organized to maximizing your time, there are some really simple ways to stay focused and achieve your goals.
Why don’t we start at the most obvious place?
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE
1-What Areas Need the Most Work?
This question requires you to be totally honest with yourself.
I know watching a reality TV show may be more entertaining than doing your taxes but the taxes won’t ever get off their bottom and do this work themselves.
You need to learn to really get clear on where your attention should be ideally focused for you to get maximum results from your life.
Establishing and sticking to priorities will help you spend less time worrying about what needs to be done and more time accomplishing your goals.
Consider using Sunday evenings, when you normally unwind and switch off the end of the weekend, to go over weekly goals and priorities.
This is a great way to stay focused on what you want to accomplish without getting ahead of yourself.
What do you want to get done over the next 7 days?
If you could wave a magic wand and have your wishes come true, what would you be hoping to achieve?

2 – Cut Out the Junk
So many of us feel overwhelmed simply because our lives are filled with unnecessary crap.
Even if it isn’t immediately obvious to you, this extra STUFF impacts the way you feel in life.
It demands your attention.
It needs you to sort it out.
This is precious time that could be better spent on your more important priorities in life.
Now if you’re like most people, you keep possessions well beyond their usefulness.
When neighbors begin mistaking your garage for a storage shed, there’s a good chance you may have a problem.
Consider selling old appliances, clothing and furniture that add clutter to your life; to avoid the hassle of a yard sale, use Web sites such as eBay and Craigslist to sell secondhand goods.
You may even prefer to do what I did which is simply donate all the stuff that is in good condition to charity.
Honestly decluttering, getting rid of the crap, the stuff you no longer use, even though it means you have LESS STUFF, the net result is always MORE.
More clarity.
More time.
And definitely more space to enjoy the things you love.

3 – Focus on YOU
In order to manage your life well, you need to stop saying yes to things when you really want to say no.
You need to stop caring about what other people think and instead tap into your true desires and wants.
What do YOU want?
How do YOU want to spend your time?
What do YOU think is important for you to focus on?
These are the questions you need to answer in depth.
Now of course none of these tips will take effect if you don’t implement them into your daily routine.
Can you see how simple they are?
Get clear on your priorities.
Cut out the junk.
Focus on you.
You showing up in the best form with the family YOU want to spend time with.
You living your best life with the friends you love and trust.
It’s super easy to fall prey to feelings of confusion and overwhelm unless you consciously STOP and decide.
This is what I want to focus on.
This is what I want to spend my time on.
You will only change your habits when you make a conscious effort to do so.
This requires that you take action rather than just THINKING about taking action.
Remember, Rome was not built in a day.
By being patient with your progress and approaching your goals sooner than later, you may have some great accomplishments to celebrate.
This is how we learn to manage life well
Until next time, dream big my friend,
