HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR LIFE ON A DAILY BASIS

 

Being organised every day can feel dull & some days you just don’t have the energy for it, but by being organised & on top of things & by planning ahead it really does take less energy in the long run.

I try to stay organised every day & by doing chores little & often it stops them building up into huge tasks. Obviously none of us are perfect every day so I try to have a reset day every Sunday but, by keeping on top of things daily, it enables my mind to feel more organised and create less stress.

 

Here are a few things I swear by daily

1.     Getting my clothes ready the night before

2.     Always making my bed

3.     Easy to follow but productive morning & evening routines

4.     Use my diary daily – planning ahead is vital

5.     A mini clean & tidy daily to make the weekly big clean easier and it also keeps order in the house

6.     Daily exercise & a grooming routine – imperative for the body & the mind

7.     Put a window of time aside for replying to messages so you’re not constantly on your phone & stick to it – BOUNDARIES!!

8.     Cut unnecessary activities – ie too much time scrolling social media, checking e mails constantly, not implementing boundaries, going above & beyond for people who wouldn’t do the same for you

9.     Fresh air in some form daily – for me it’s a dog walk

10.                        Don’t forget to take breaks & implement self care

 

MY SUNDAY RESET

1.     A quick scan of my wardrobe for clothes I want to wear the following week & to see if they need washing/ironing/repairing

2.     My weekly to do list to plan my week ahead

3.     A small declutter of one particular area (I do a big declutter at various times in the year but by doing a small weekly declutter of just one area at a time keeps it under control)

4.     Meal planning for the week ahead

5.     Food shop

6.     Laundry & ironing done

7.     Uniforms ready (if your children are still at school)

8.     Bags packed for the week ahead for yourself & your children

9.     Check your diary so you have a good idea of any important meetings, appointments & events in the week ahead

10.                        Rest & Relaxation/Self Care/Gratitude/Grooming/Family time    

By implementing these into my daily & weekly routine I feel more organised and less stressed knowing that personally I’m on top of things as much as I can be.
