3 Steps To Organize Your Life
It's obvious. An organized life gives you much greater change of having a successful life. Whatever success is to you, you need to know how to get organized in enough areas so that you can achieve it.
Clearly, having an organized life means to capture every worthwhile thought in a way that efficiently facilitates action on everything important to you, without losing out on precious moments of time, giving you the best possible chance of succeeding with whatever you desire.
Life when disorganized is filled with pressure, dissatisfaction and frustration in all 3 major realms of life.
The Physical Realm organizes your lifestyle: including people in your life, environment, your health, security, wealth, etc.
Your emotional realm can be thought of as your 'spiritual' part of life. This includes your happiness, peace, and sense of adventure.
The Mental Realm organizes your thought. The development of mind includes building your personal power via learning, self-questioning, character development, skill building, listening, exploring, and developing influence.
To organize life you will have to control and organize those 3 realms in full. Here are 3 very valuable techniques to help you organize your 3 realms. They will help you organize life from 3 different 'ranges'.
A. Short Range: 10 Minute Get-On-Track. At times we get off track, whether practically, or with our efficiency, or emotionally. At those times, it is wise to do a 10 Minute Get-on-track review which is simply sitting down for about 10 minutes and going through the 7 Steps Of Organizing writing out everything that is pressing or weighing on your mind about your life right at this time.
B. Medium Range: Weekend Review to Organize Life. A weekend review is the time to consider the entire past week and upcoming new week and come to some conclusions and reflections.
A Weekly Review is so so so important. It puts a 'sheen of success' over everything you do. Try it for a few weeks and see what difference it makes to how well you organize life.
Even if you don't do it weekly, you can still do it regularly. Just don't let this slip you by. It's hard doing it every week. So be flexible but consistent as your lifestyle and ambitions permit.
Just like the 10 minute review, the weekly review can be done with pen and paper sitting quietly for just a short while to consider the past and new week's activities and schedule.
A neat trick to help you see the progress you make is to keep each weeks notes and look them over when you do the present weeks review. You'll soon see the benefit of doing these weekly reviews by the aha moments and hmm moments you have during the reviews by looking at the last weeks review.
C. Long-Range: Your Life's Big Picture. Fancy being among the elite of men and women? Fact established by Brian Tracy: The top 3% of the population keep goals written down. The other 97% don't.
Take the technique of 'writing down your goals' really far by thinking about all the big important things in your life.
How easily would you agree that the three techniques I've outlined are significant aspects to organize life? Again they are: 1. Regular 10 Minute Get-On-Track Reviews. 2. Weekly Self-Assessment Reviews. 3. Your Life's Big Picture Reviews
Don't worry about getting the 3 exercises right or wrong. The only mistake is to not do them. Simply by writing your ideas down I guarantee they will start to flow. Ask yourself question. What do I want. What have I done. etc.
