Organization and Action Steps to Organize Your Time

Time management is a tool that we can use any time to help us design and create the life that we envision for ourselves. That’s more than just getting things done. It’s getting the right things done, and it’s spending time on what matters most. For example, if you have a good idea that you want to accomplish, get specific about how to go about achieving your goal. Look to The Uncluttered Life’s Declutter Deck® for tips and tricks about home organization.

Organization

  1. The biggest challenge for most people is not to get frustrated and overwhelmed by the size of the task. This causes Analysis Paralysis or decision fatigue, and we give up before we start.

  2. We have to find the best way to manage our time. It must match the way we think and the way we want to live our life.

  3. If you love facts and are a black and white thinker, you’ll probably love a checklist.

  4. If you prefer ideas and options, you will probably prefer a different approach. Do what works best for you.



Action Steps

  1. Create a vision for yourself. How do you want your life to look a year from now?

  2. For this reason, make a list of your priorities.

  3. Make your starting point as small as possible so that you can fit it into your schedule. This can give you the momentum of a win.

  4. Do a roles and responsibilities audit. What are the different roles you have in life? What would it look like if you showed up as your best self in each role?

  5. Tie those answers into specific ways to spend your time. Decide which are more important than others during this season of your life.

  6. Prioritizing your goals and objectives may take time away from meaningless tasks. Prioritize what you need to achieve in order to reach your long-term goal.
