Some people are truly well organised - all of the time. Many of us are organised some of the time, but not at other times, and then there are the blessed group - those who are organised all of the time. We might have other less flattering terms for them, and I think they are a minority. However, there are definite benefits for being orgnanised - life will just flow, and we will be more efficient and can save a lot of time, and maintain our calm.If you keep losing things - such as keys, notebooks or diaries, personal planners, cell phones etc. consider these quick tips:
- Decide a location for these items that makes sense to you
- Put these things in the same place - religiously.
- Make sure other people using these things follow the same pattern.
- Put keys in a dish, on a hook, on a lanyard and have coloured keys or key rings for identification
- Have extra copies of important keys - keep them in safe places and give a set of keys to a trusted friend or relative
- Engrave your mobile (cell) phone number onto your key ring and other items you might misplace
- Charge your mobile (cell) phone near your keys
- Keep your mobile (cell) phone in same part of your desk, office, house when not used
- Place car park tickets and access cards in the same place EVERYTIME (part of clothing, wallet, handbag)
- Park your car in or near the same part of a car park.
- Take note of your car park bay number and floor (level)
Put things in the same obvious place all the time
Small items are best placed close to where they are used
Have a coding system for different items (colour, size, style)
If you share items, discuss with the others and actively agree with them where to store the items.
