Get Organised By Keeping It Simple

Hello
Do you find it easy to get into a routine of handling daily tasks? Whether that’s organising your personal life or business. Whatever system you’re currently using is working. As you’re here!
But it’s always useful to reflect on what you’re doing, and see if there’s any tips that you can use to improve your routine. And get more done. This may not be more work done. It could be getting more time to have a longer walk with your dog or a longer grooming session or ride with your horse. (Or spend more time with your partner/children!).
So here i’m going to talk about a common item many of us have. But we can also under-use its potential. This is your diary! Here’s some tips to help you use it to make you be (and feel) more productive.
Is your diary an electronic calendar like Google? I love a paper diary. You may do too.
By having your calendar online, you get reminders and alerts on your phone or computer/tablet. They can be annoying (alerts I mean!) but they're also useful.
So what can you put in your online calendar that’d help you? Block out time to get some particular pieces of work done. This could be to do:
▪ your invoicing
▪ book venues
▪ call clients
▪ organising and planning “regular” tasks for example.
Make your online calendar work harder for you. Attach notes, documents and website or email links to your calendar entries. That way you’ll save lots of time not looking things up.
Great business tips don’t have to be complicated. In fact if something does seem complex you’re less likely to do it, and maintain it.
So I hope this has been useful, despite its simplicity!
Now, earlier I mentioned about you “feeling more productive”. It’s a fact that routines and good organisation rely less on you using your willpower to get something done. Relying on willpower takes more effort. If a task is routine then it’s more likely to get completed. This can lead to a sense of accomplishment. Better than a list of work / ideas you’ve not yet started. So get scheduling work into your calendar!
