Set reasonable goals: Make sure these goals are specific and attainable in a short amount of time. If you need to, you can split each goal into mini goals, thus making it even easier to see your progress.
Get an agenda: Whether it’s a pocket agenda, a bullet journal, or just an old notebook, it’s important to be able to keep track of your day. It’s also satisfying to make lists and be able to cross each one off as you go.
Declutter: The simplest step is sometimes the hardest. I always make excuses as to why I need an item that I’ve had for years. The best rule of thumb I’ve found is this: if you have more than one of it, or if you haven’t used it in a year, you don’t need it. Doing just this can make you feel vastly more organized than before.
Change up storage if needed: If you find yourself always piling your papers on your desk rather than in a drawer, consider putting a folder there as a designated place for papers. Another tip is to put things that you’ve lost where you first looked for it, not where you found it. It’s likely that if you lose it again, you’ll look for it at the first spot again.
Be able to say no: I always find that I spread myself too thin at times. This applies to hanging out with friends, planning trips, or agreeing to help people. If you second guess whether you should do it, you probably shouldn’t. It can help lessen stress, but also financially, which is a plus.
