7 Habits That Will Make You
More Organized
&
More Zen
Brought to you by: MaidPro
Write Everything Down
It’s okay to admit that you’ll forget things.
Write down: phone numbers, movie titles,
restaurants. Write down everything and
anything you’ll probably forget.
File, Don’t Pile
Put everything in its rightful place. Avoid the
slow creation of a junk drawer. File your mail,
bills, and letters. Make it easier on yourself to
find things later.
Simplify
This can start anytime and it starts with learning
how to say, “No”. Limit your to do list, avoid
purchasing something just because it’s a bargain,
& keep your counters clear. There are many ways
to simplify life.
Keep A Calendar
Family, work, friends. The list can go on forever and so can
the number of occasions and commitments. Don’t rely on
yourself to remember every date and time, just put it in
your calendar. If you have a large family, download a
family calendar app everyone can add to.
Purge & De-Clutter
Donate old clothes, scan important docs into
your computer and shred old copies, have a
garage sale. Get rid of unused or unwanted
items often!
Don’t Apologize For Sticking To A Schedule
Sticking to your schedule allows you to
eventually have time for you. So, don’t
apologize for getting what needs to be done,
done.
Embrace Change
Change is inevitable. Rather than letting
anxiety build when a wrench is thrown into
your schedule, adapt. Adjust your “what’s
most important list” and move on with your
day.
