Here are the essential habits to organize and optimize your work & life in 5 weeks: ✔ Write Things Down
- Really organized people are not born organized, they have to cultivate healthy habits, which then help them to stay organized.
- From planning things, jotting things down, to ditching the unnecessary and organizing things that matter, you will become an organized person as long as you're willing to learn and practice.
✔ Make Schedules and Deadlines
- Organized people don't waste time.
- They give each hour a purpose.
-They make and keep schedules for the day and week.
- They make deadlines and set goals.
-And most importantly, they and stick to them!
Similarly, by living a cluttered lifestyle, you will not have the time or space to make your deadlines or achieve your goals.
- Write down the things you want to achieve this month in your life. Then write down what you need to do to achieve them.
✔ Focus on the Few: the 80/20 Principle
- Life is short, make sure you're doing what matters to you most. Use this formatted planner to properly prioritize your work and life. Do the few things that bring the greatest results.
✔ Deep Work Tracker for Efficiency and Efficacy
A la Cal Newport, deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce higher quality and original results in less time. By completing deep work time blocks, you surpass gains you'd make by merely dabbling or multi-tasking. And the ability to master difficult, valued skills is what sets you apart from the masses who aren't willing to put in the effort, thus increasing your value in the marketplace.✔ Know What You Want, Then TAKE ACTION
- The key behavior that separates the achievers from the unfulfilled is ACTION. It doesn't have to be a huge deal. Do the small things consistently, daily, that progressively move you toward the realization of your ideal.
- What stops most people from getting on with living the life of their dreams, is they lack clarity about what they want. Sit down for ten minutes and imagine what service you can provide to improve the lives of others, thus improving your own quality of life.
As an experiment, think of one thing such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary-- this is the focusing question that will organize your life. Write down your thoughts. Then write down when you can do it and what you need to get it done. If you can get it done right now, then go do it! Get your life on-point today!
