A Simple Way to Organize Your Life
You can organize your life by following these steps.
It’s easy to get lost in the woods but fortunately, I found that with a few simple practices I can see my life and what I need to do a lot more clearly.
I’m gonna split this up into three parts
Step 1: Fireworks
To organise my life, I have found that I must see what I’m organising. Actually, do this there’s nothing creating the space between yourself and what is going on in your head by writing or drawing it out.
When you organise your ideas on the computer or phone you are just 2 clicks away from distraction. It’s not your fault if you had a brilliant idea and you go to your phone to write it down and end up distracted by a notification.
I call this first stage fireworks because this is kind of how I feel when there’s a flow of ideas out of my head and through my hand.
It’s normal not to feel clear about what your future holds there’s a lot going on in all of our lives and in the world.
In my experience, this first stage is very chaotic and that’s totally fine. If ever I’m unhappy with how I’m laying out my thoughts and ideas.
I can always redraw and rewrite them out I think refinements are totally fine and I will often do that and each time brings greater clarity.
The idea behind prioritization is that we have two resources that are limited, Time and Attention.
The next best thing is to make the most of these resources. Recently I came across the Matrix “ The Eisenhower Matrix ” which was popularised by an Ex-President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Which goes something like this
This is great what matters more than the system itself is whether you use a matrix like this or not. This sort of distinguishing between what needs to get done and what doesn’t necessarily need to get done.
This is my favourite way of prioritizing the tasks through this I’m able to know which task is important and its urgency level. You should give it a try, through this majority of your problems will be solved.
What I have found throughout my own experimentation in organizing myself and my life and my thoughts is that I cannot see clearly beyond three months.
