April 17, 2023

Hi Besties!!

Feeling overwhelmed and disorganized? Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with your responsibilities and deadlines? (Hi, it's me, I'm the problem) It's time to take control and become more organized. In this blog post, I'll be sharing 10 tips for becoming more organized + how to stay on top of your $h!t. From setting clear goals to prioritizing self-care, these tips will help you stay focused, productive, + in control.

Here are my top 10 tips for having a productive week + items I use to set myself up for success!

Set Goals: Start your week off by setting clear goals for what you want to accomplish. Write them down and prioritize them in order of importance.
Plan Your Week: Use a planner or digital calendar to map out your week. Make sure to schedule in time for work, exercise, + relaxation.
Start Your Day Early: Wake up early + start your day with a healthy breakfast. This will give you the energy you need to tackle your tasks.
Focus on One Task at a Time: Multitasking can be tempting, but it's actually less efficient than focusing on one task at a time. Stay focused + avoid distractions. I use a productivity timer to help keep me on track, especially while working at my desk, because I can have 15+ tabs open at a time + it's so easy for me to get distracted.
Take Breaks: Taking regular breaks throughout the day can help you stay focused and energized. To help break up my day, I'll go to the gym, take Piper on a walk, or allow myself some scrolling time just to zone out.
Delegate Tasks: Don't be afraid to delegate tasks to others if you need help. This can free up your time + allow you to focus on more important tasks. In 2023 we are working smarter, not harder.
Prioritize Self-Care: Make sure to take care of yourself throughout the week. This can include getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals, journaling, manifesting, + exercising regularly. I'm currently reading But First, Inner Peace
Stay Organized: Keep your workspace + schedule organized to help you stay on track. Use folders, labels, + color coding to help you stay on top of things. At the end of the day I always clear my workspace, write down what I need to do the next day, + pick out my outfit. I am a note-taking + color-coding queen, I highly recommend taking the time to sit down + organize all levels in your life. (More on that later)
Avoid Procrastination: #GUILTY Procrastination can be tempting, but it's important to avoid it. Set realistic deadlines for yourself + hold yourself accountable. Staying disciplined + being honest with yourself about what you need to do can go a long way.
Reflect + Learn: At the end of the week, take some time to reflect on your accomplishments + areas for improvement. Use this information to make adjustments for the next week!
