Getting Organized in Your Life

[jessica]

Being a young college student I learned more than my fair share about time management (the hard way). At first I just figured student kept planners and such just to remind them when assignments are due and to fan out long projects to make sure they got it done on time. This may just be a big tradition in college, but I realize after talking with people and watching their lives how disorganized people can become and it causes them emotional chaos!

Just a few tips to help get your life organized and lift some of that unwanted and unneeded stress from your life.

1.) Get a Calendar - This is the most basic and simple thing you can do for yourself to help manage your time and tasks. I personally have a little calendar on my computer and many computer email programs have them as well. Although you don't want to live perfectly by your calendar you should at least set it up so that you have slotted times for certain tasks.

First would be work, obviously, and next you should set time for home tasks or cleaning or extra work that needs to be done. Since I am a huge believer in exercise to rid you of stress I also would recommend giving yourself a time slot for exercise times (if you go to a local gym you could slot the time for an aerobics class or something you enjoy, such as a sport).

2.) Don't Rush Yourself - This is one of the hugest things that get you flustered and then you will not only be stressed, but will probably snap at others in your frustration. This also goes with the above Calendar; when you are planning your events for the day giving yourself enough time to complete the task is essential. You should actually give yourself more time than you think is necessary! If you think that mopping will take you 30 minutes, then give yourself an hour. This not only ensures that if something goes wrong you still have time to fix it and complete the task, but it actually could give you time to start early on the next task, or even take a short break.

The last thing you want to do is get flustered and angry with yourself for packing too many things into your day. Just take it slow and give yourself plenty of time. Its not a race and you want to eliminate unneeded stress from your life.
