Organisational tip #1


Hi lovelies

This is the first of a series of organisational tips coming your way. Personally I'm quite lazy, finding it a challenge to get motivated to organise, but when I do it puts me in a really good mood. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that having a well organised space saves time and has a relaxing effect. It's good for the soul! And if you're still not convinced, an article in The Journal of Neuroscience by researchers from the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute says (in oh so many complicated sentences) that clutter has a negative effect on our ability to focus. (Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

Decide what needs organising. If it's everything, don't despair! Just write a list of what needs organising and prioritise. You can group it into rooms or drawers or whether it be at work or at home. Whatever works best for you.

Then the best way to start is to identify the time of day you're most productive. It took me a few days to figure this out. Everyone is different, so it's best to self-analyse and take note of when you find your attention slumps and you feel tired and also when you feel energised and motivated. Designate some time during the latter for organising and set yourself realistic targets. 

More organisational tips coming your way soon. 

Good luck!
