Make Organization a Daily Habit:

Quick pointers:

• Don't be intimidated by the idea of "getting organized." Start by putting things back where they belong and throwing away things you don't need.

• Break up big tasks into smaller tasks.

• Stick to doing just one task at a time.

• Use electronic reminders. Set your computer or smartphone to alert you five minutes before every event in your calendar (some apps like 'Google keep' app helps you to synch your events on 'To do list' to multiple systems).

• Between tasks, take a walk or get fresh air.

• Healthy habits- Regular exercise and team sports can also help you work together with others, learn to set and meet goals, and feel better about yourself.

• In office- Ask for a quiet cubicle or space, so you aren’t distracted by others.

• In meetings- Take quick notes.

• Tired to sit for a non critical meeting- Go for 'walking meeting'. It is simply that: a meeting that takes place during a walk instead of in an office.

• Bulk of Emails? Then create specific folders. Like for, bills, official, personal, charity, subscription mailers, entertainment etc.

• Organizing tips can help you manage your time and activities better. Get into the habit of putting all your appointments and activities on a calendar. It doesn't matter if it's a day planner, a smartphone app, or just a plain old desk calendar. Keep it in one spot and check it at least three times a day. Make it a habit to check at the same times each day.

• Each morning, make a list of the things you want to get done that day. Try to keep your list realistic, so you'll have a good chance of getting to everything. Arrange your tasks in order of importance, putting the most important tasks first. Assign each task a specific time of day. Cross off each task when you complete it.

• What if my tasks do not go as I have planned in my 'To do list'- If you see a lot of unfinished tasks left on your "to-do" lists, try to figure out why.
1. Did you try to get everything done at one time?
2. Did you list big tasks that could have been broken down into smaller ones?
3. Did distractions keep you from completing your tasks?

√ Use this information to help arrange future "to-do" lists, or to find ways to work more efficiently.

• Physical storage? These items and files also should have a dedicated place. Use filing cabinets, labels, clear storage boxes, and over-the-door organizers. And take 10 minutes each day to pick up and return items to their proper places.

$$$ Money?? $$$-
Knowing how much you spend each month -- and on what -- will help you manage your money.

- Do you want to know the philosophy of why you get hurt when people say something; then this article is for you. You might have come across people telling you, “You are very disturbing”. “I don’t like the way you behave” “You don’t know how to cook a good food” “You are not productive at work” Do the above kind of attitudes from others affect and hurt you?

I know it’s not so easy to practice. Tell yourself the person who is the potential offender has as much right to his opinion as you do to yours. Besides, they’re only words. They are not judgements on you. What can words do? They certainly can’t break your bones! Have a philosophy that ‘words-will-never-hurt-me’ it’s a very important philosophy of communication in any relationship. Think that people ar...

Creative Thinking.

Creative thinking: Apple is the cause for Isaac Newton to put hard his thinking, which we all agree. Did newton decide to go and sit under an apple tree and planned to think about apple when he sees one falling from the branch? No, it was all sudden. Thus creative people take forward the situation into deep thinking, thus bring out the deep insight out of it. Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Inc says, ‘’Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize (combine) new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people’’. Beat your thinkin...
