3 keys to getting organized and achieving everything you set out to do on a daily basis

We talk about productivity, but always with an eye toward ourselves—that is, the things we have to, or want to, do throughout the day, not just work-focused. Leisure time, home, exercise , family, social life, various errands... are also part of our lives, and we have to manage them as best we can to fit the pieces together, like a puzzle, in our calendar. To plan well and forget that unpleasant feeling of always rushing around, never getting everything done, good organization is essential.

The number one recommendation is to write down your tasks. Marie Kondo already taught us how to organize the house, so it's time to manage our time. (I'll leave you an IG post we did on how to apply this to organization.) You've probably had the impression that life is overwhelming you and that you don't have the time to do everything you have to do, much less what you'd like to do. Well, in the end, it's all a question of priorities and organization.

3 keys to learning to organize yourself better

  • Make a daily to-do list: At night, or first thing in the morning, make a list of everything you want and/or have to do during the day. Don't forget tasks you think aren't important; write everything down. If it's written down as something that needs to be done, our brain will perceive it as something that needs to be done, something pending, and it will be harder to postpone or forget. Bathing the dog, doing laundry, having coffee with a friend... you shouldn't just write down meetings. Write down everything you want to accomplish during the day.
  • Organize them in order of priority: Once you have your to-do list, the ideal thing is to plan them in order of priority. Isabel recommends rating them on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most important. You can also differentiate by task duration to further refine your organization. You can even use colors to separate tasks by area!
  • Divide the big tasks: Isa recommends dividing large tasks into different sections. This way, they'll be easier to complete and won't leave an overwhelmingly large task hanging over you indefinitely. For example, if the task is organizing the storage room, break it down into smaller tasks that can be completed, such as organizing a shelf or sorting through a box, until you can complete it.

Like everyone in the world, there are tasks that are more complex or tedious, and it is completely human, With these recommendations you are on the right track to avoid postponing those tasks is not the solution since the act of avoiding something that should be done.

We wish you much success in this and are here to support you with inspiring agendas!
