You know, with all the technology that we
carry around with us everyday, it can be easy to become
disorganized and lost in a storm of bits and bytes that are
actually meant to help us stay on top of our business. Here is a
short list of things that I like to do to keep organized.
1) Carry with you in your car some paper
pads or notebooks and bic pens. This can be ver
practical when you need to just jot something down quickly, like an
idea or just to brainstorm. I use a spiral notebook with included
dividers to keep my ideas organized. I use one section for
posssible blog topics, the other section for todo lists, and
another for various other ideas of thoughts that I want to keep.
2) Leave yourself voice mail notes. Most of us have cellphones, and
we don't use them to their maximum potential. I use my voicemail
as a kind of "voice note" taker. I have programmed my own phone
number into the speed keys and so with one push of a button, I can
leave myself a detailed voice note that I can follow up on later
on.
3)Clear the clutter. Without going crazy with Windex and Pledge,
clean up you work area before you start working. If you are like
me, when I get into work in the morning, it's kind of hard getting
started, so I always set aside 5 minutes every morning to clean up
my desk and my Inbox. This usually helps to get mt going, as things
that were lying around the night before often remind me of what I
should be working on. And when you're done, take out your notebook
and bic pen, and make a great todo list for the day.
