10 Simple Ways to Get Organised at Work

April 10, 2015

Laptop_Notepad

Being practically organised is essential for high productivity. There are quite a number of practical ways to stay organised at work, regardless of whether you are a student, or a corporate worker...


Use a notepad Having a notepad helps when taking note of minor details. It is easy to forget the execution of minor details; however you can refer back to your notepad to get information while you are busy with bigger tasks at work. Using a notepad will help you clear the clutter on your “to do” lists easily. A personalised notepad is even better!

Categorise your tasks

If you don’t categorise your tasks, you may end up doing things in a somewhat awkward manner, so it is a good idea to create a priority list comprising of urgent, less urgent and non-urgent tasks. Devote more time to the urgent and less urgent tasks before executing non urgent tasks.


Avoid procrastination

Procrastination will only force you to postpone tasks. The more you procrastinate, the more work you pile up for yourself. It will make life a lot easier if you execute a task you can do now, now; rather than postpone it until later and make things harder for yourself.


Delegate some of your tasks

When you try to do too much at one time, you may end up making avoidable mistakes. If possible, try to delegate some of your tasks to colleagues, and friends who can handle such tasks accordingly.


Eliminate unnecessary distractions while working

Distractions are your worst enemy when working, so turn off your phone and shut down your computer (if they are not needed). Maybe even lock your door for a while in order to achieve your tasks.


Break down your goals and tasks into realistic and systematic tasks

Take some time to break complex tasks into smaller units before tackling them. You should have more success tackling many simple tasks rather than making fruitless efforts trying to comprehend and complete complex tasks as a whole.


Work in 60-90 minute intervals

Experts on work psychology have revealed that the best possible way to stay mentally alert and work more productively is to take a few minutes break after every 90 minutes. Our bodies rhythm is such that fatigue normally sets in after an hour of doing mentally demanding tasks, so taking intermittent breaks can help restore energy levels.


Commit your undivided attention to one particular task at a time

It is better to accomplish a few things effectively in a day than try to complete many tasks in a day with possible mistakes to deal with later on, so focus your attention on one particular task at a time.


Spend your leisure time relaxing and not working

Make sure you relax when it’s time to take a break. That is the best possible way of restoring your mental alertness.


Refer back to your notepad list

Your notepad “to do” list will guide you in checking for the next task to be completed. Don’t forget to keep referring to it - and enjoy the satisfaction of ticking each task off as you complete it!

Morning rituals to help start your day in a positive way
Morning rituals to help start your day in a positive way

May 09, 2022

If you’re not a morning person, you’re about to be! Which is a good thing because how you start your morning really sets the tone for the rest of your day!! ‘Cause think about it, waking up and rolling over to our phones before getting right to work is something a lot of us do (we’ve all been there!), but how does that make you FEEL? It’s a bit of a bummer, isn’t it? Though making simple, mindful swaps with our mundane morning rituals can flip that script!

Handy hack for decluttering: A place for everything and everything in its place

June 22, 2021

Our homes can feel so full of clutter that it overwhelms us and we give up before we have even started. If we break the mammoth task of decluttering our homes into small parts and baby steps we can make it seem possible. To find those baby steps I developed the Stop, Focus, Notice strategy.
