22. Utilize control lists and to do lists.
Take charge of your time. When utilized properly, these effective tools give you a specific idea of what you have to accomplish. How many times have you've gotten someplace only to forget what you needed in the first place?
Note to self: Writing to-do lists saves time, energy, tension and even gas. A great list lets you forget--once you have a written reminder, your brain is free to center on other things. A to-do list even helps you meet your goals. Whether you're a legal pad, personal digital assistant (PDA) or back-of-the-phone-bill type, pick a scheme that works--and write it down!
23. Arrange firm deadlines.
Setting a deadline forces you to work toward it. Set a definite date and time. Stating, 'When I get a chance' or 'Sometime in the near future' is insufficient. Set your timeline for success. Be specific with the desired result.
Be realistic and kind to yourself. If you wish to see yourself succeed, do not create a situation only a super-hero may accomplish. Set your final goal, and work back, step-by-step to produce your timeline. Goals like learning a new skill, educational milestones, weight loss, and traveling, may all be attained within a timeframe.
Other goals, like spiritual growth and developing healthy habits, might continue throughout your life. With any type of goal, it helps to write down specifically what progressive steps you would like to achieve within a particular time frame.
24. Utilize a greeting card organizer.
Think about a greeting card organizer to remember birthdays, anniversaries and additional special events. These look like a notebook, except that every page has a monthly pocket to hold cards. You are able to pencil in birthdays, events, etc. for every month, plus, you are able to purchase your cards before hand!
25. Design your garden ahead of time.
Begin planning your garden in the winter. Decide what you'll plant. Read up on the proper care of your plants, flowers and vegetables. Sketch your garden out in writing. Grab a piece of paper and sketch out your ideas; your drawings don't have to be works of art as long as they help you envision your ideas. If you want something more detailed, plot your garden to scale on a piece of graph paper. When spring arrives you'll be prepared to 'grow.'
26. Stash away like items together.
Categorization is really crucial when you're getting organized. Keep all bill paying supplies in one place. Gather all of your craft provisions in a basket. Keep your photo supplies in one plastic bin. Utilize drawer dividers to keep any overflowing gadget or utensil drawers in check. After sectioning off drawers into smaller spaces, group similar items together for faster access.
