Tips for Organization and Time Management

by Cerelia Branham

Are you still on track with the goals you set at the beginning of the new year? Do you have ongoing home or work projects that seem to be unending? Managing your time effectively and being productive will ensure that you meet your goals and complete those tasks that seem impossible.

Have a clear understanding of the task or goal you want to accomplish. Plan out your day at least one day in advance. Establish a daily regimen for routine tasks.

Tackle the most difficult task first.

Distinguish between urgent, important, and not important. Find tools that fit your style such as using to-do lists, Google/Outlook Calendar, Iphone calendar/reminders, etc. to assist you with managing your time.

Strive to be proactive instead of being reactive with organizing your time and accomplishing your goals.

Focus on what is most important and learn to say no to things that are unimportant. Allow time for the unexpected.

Declutter daily and relocate items back to their place.
