1 - put calendar...10 things to do to stay organized<br />1 - put calendar in clear and central place (in our case by the door)<br />2 - each person has their own mark and color for things they need to be aware of<br />3 - immediately when e-mail, snail mail, phone calls come in put them on the calendar <br />4 - say 'no' (we are overscheduled)<br />5 - make sure that I know the plan for tomorrow before it is today (e.g. have the meals planned -- you can always change them, but if you don't have a plan, eating out is often the result)<br />6 - exercise. I know it doesn't sound like keeping me organized, but having a linchpin in the schedule prevents the day from escaping from me. Also it says something about my priorities<br />7 - cut down on physical clutter. This means that there are certain times of the day for putting things away -- which keeps you from forgetting important stuff under the pile of laundry or thank you notes.<br />8 - lists lists lists (grocery, shopping, curriculum for classes I teach, work related, kid related...)<br />9 - a week of menus before heading to the grocery<br />10 - cut down on emotional clutter - a nap or meditation are great when we can snag them.onthemove - klhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231219520129591830noreply@blogger.com
