Home | Self Improvement | Organizing And a big part of fully organizing your life is to capture all important thoughts and things into a practical system. There are 3 major areas of life in which you will experience the pressures and frustrations of being disorganized, or the freedom and flexibility of being well organized. First there is the physical realm. It involves the people in your life, the location you live, the practical things like financial management and your health. The Emotional Realm organizes your 'spiritual' (whatever that means to you) and emotional experience of life. Your pursuit of happiness and romance, peace, and 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. I have got 3 great exercises for you that will help you be more mindful of those 3 realms whilst aiding you in organizing your life. 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. If you can maintain doing a weekly review of any sort for a few weeks you will probably see how useful it is. 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. You should go to great lengths to nail down the big important things in your life. Your ultimate success and satisfaction depends on you being organized with your big ambitions and values. Can you see that these 3 techniques fit will with the 3 ranges of short, medium and long perspectives of your life? A 10 minutes quick review. A weekly review of what's been going on and what's up and coming for the new week. And a long-range goal planning that identifies what's important to you. Don't fret about getting it right. Just do it. Your life will easily become more organized if you spend less time worrying about it, and more time just scribbling down your thoughts so that you can later act on them at the right time.
