Top 5 Ways To Get Your Life Organized- Business Owner Editition

Do you want business growth? Do you want to increase your productivity with less stress? Do you crave a better strategy for your overall day? Then you need to get organized! Here is a simple top 5 list of ways to start:

1.       PLAN: Block out time to plan- if you do not plan your upcoming week, or even upcoming day, you will end your day with a sense disappointment. This does not need to be a long amount of time, just 30 min or less to review what you have going on and synchronize schedules .

2.       WRITE: Write your top 3 goals for the week, every week- Be consistent each week to set goals for yourself and your business. This will allow you to track your progress in a proactive manner as well as quantify your accomplishments. 

3.       SAY NO: Just say no when asked to help or lead something new- Well, not forever. But at least until you have aligned your goals with your plan of action. Start thinking before your say yes to new initiatives and weigh the outcomes with your list of written goals. Do they line up? Remember to stay on track. It never hurts to take a night and sleep on the ‘yes’ before delivering your answer. You will thank yourself in the long run!

4.       DECLUTTER: Out with the old and less of the new- Keep it simple. Less really IS more. A clean, organized, work area and home are the key to increasing your productivity, but first you must part with the clutter weighing your down and implement healthy habits that accommodate your life style.

5.       ADJUST: Review your plan regularly and adjust where needed- If you try something and it does not work, then try something else. Everyone is different and there is no cookie cutter formula. You have to do what works for you. This applies to both organizing products as well as systems. If you find this step difficult, it may be best to enlist the help of a professional organizer or coach to help you set up a strategy that works best for you.

There are proven health benefits to living an organized life. The key is getting organized and sticking with the systems you put in place. The outcomes can remarkably change your life and increase your business! Get organized today!
