Get organized-Get your life under wraps


 

 By: Madison B.


You've got so much to do and not enough time to do it! Lets try to get all those tasks under wraps and done by the end of the night, with still some time to relax.


Make to do lists. Use a regular pieces or paper, or get a pack of long, skinny, papers and make to do lists. On the to do list make a sections. Have a Need to do section, a Want to do section and a Would be nice to do section. In the Need to do section, write down everything you have to get done that night. In the Want to do section write everything you want to do but doesn't need to be done. In the Would be nice to do section write down things that have been assigned to do in advanced (as in 3 days to a week early) that you would like to do. This way you know what is top, medium and low priority.


Do the to do's in an order. When you're starting to tackle your to do's, do a “Need to do” to do and then a “Want to do” to do. This way, you get a sense of pride from doing a high priority to do, which will motivate you to do even more, and then you do a low priority to do to keep you from stressing out over your high priority stressful to do's.


Keep your priorities in mind. Keep your “Would be nice to do” to do's for the last. This ways you do all of your high priorities first, and do your low priorities to keep you from stressing. Do your “Would be nice to do's” last. This way you do everything you need to do, some things you want to do, and maybe a few things in advanced.


Getting organized can be hard, and you need some practice, but it's definitely worth it. It brings down your stress level and makes it easier to do everything you need to do.
