A catastrophic lack of time is a problem for many housewives! Judge for yourself: how to do it all, if there is a rush at work, chaos at home, money flows like sand through your fingers, and there can be no question of getting comfortable with your favorite book in an easy chair! It's time to organize your living space!
Order at work.
If your day begins at a desk littered with papers, it can be difficult for you to find the necessary thing in the boxes among the heap of office and last year's documents, and in addition to everything, you also spill coffee on an important agreement, it is not surprising that keeping up with everything is an overwhelming task for you. And how can you, tell me, you can work with pleasure, without constant stress and eternal rush jobs. It turns out that you can, only for this you need to change something!
What to do?
The first step is to organize the workplace. Send the unnecessary without regret to the trash, distribute the documents into pre-signed folders, put the office supplies into the organizer.
If you took up a document, finish the work to the end. Do not start several cases at the same time, there is a high probability that you will not have time to finish any of them and will soon just be buried under a pile of papers.
Put things in order not only on the desktop, but in the computer. After all, it happens that in a hurry you save a file under a strange name in the first folder that comes across, but at the right time, of course, you cannot find it in any way. Make it a rule to clearly name the folders in which they are stored.
Files that you have not dealt with for a long time, it is better to place them in a separate folder "Archive" - then you can fully focus on performing current tasks, increase your productivity and not waste precious minutes looking through unnecessary documents.
Emergency ration.
As a rule, in every house there are "treasures" that have been accumulating over the years, carefully collected, and now they are safely stored in the closet or on the balcony. We don't see them often, and as soon as the time comes for cleaning, many simply do not raise their hand to throw away a broken chair, an ancient TV or a jacket that you have not worn for a couple of years. It is worth stopping being led by old things. If there is a brownie in your family nest every now and then and you cannot find the necessary thing for a long time, it's time to put everything on the shelves!
What to do?
Try to learn the rule: every thing should be in its place. Then you will not have to rush to look for the keys to the apartment or a driver's license, therefore, the likelihood that you will not be late for an important meeting will decrease.
Say goodbye to cracked dishes, boxes and bags, things that you are unlikely to use anymore. Receipts and bank accounts are best sorted, folded into a file in a folder.
Here and there you come across statuettes, magnets, key chains, which have long since passed from the category of memorable souvenirs to the category of unnecessary trinkets? Don't even think about it, throw them away without any regret!
Return non-working household appliances for repair, if, of course, they are worth it. Otherwise, get rid of it, do not store trash in the house.
Time eaters.
To organize your life, you need to understand why you are running out of time. Analyze your schedule, think about what takes the most time. Perhaps someone or something is quietly "stealing" your precious minutes? This must be stopped immediately!
What to do?
When starting any business, clearly define the time that you will need to complete it, and do not postpone it until later. If you had to move the weight, double the number of tasks for the next day. This method will make you more disciplined, and in the future, you are unlikely to want to use such a loophole again.
Set a time limit for watching TV and surfing the Internet. Sometimes these entertainments steal a huge number of hours, growing from "I'll sit on the forum for 10-15 minutes" into "Is it really already two o'clock in the morning?"
In the Control Journal, allocate space for the following entries: "What I did today - my success", "Plans for tomorrow - the next step towards the goal." Don't be afraid to make the most ambitious plans. Patience, strength and time are your main allies on the way to achieving any, even the most impossible goal.
Money account like.
Sometimes money can be found in all sorts of places: in a jacket pocket, in a book, in a diary.
This is because finances are not under your control. In this case, you will not even notice how, in a couple of days after the advance payment, part of the bills will fly away in an unknown direction. To prevent this from happening, spread out your next salary in envelopes with the names "Food", "Utilities", "Travel". As a result, you will receive a completely unexpected amount that you no longer want to spend on trinkets. The remaining 10% of the income you can, for example, set aside for a future tourist trip.
What to do?
Avoid spontaneous purchases. Before going to the supermarket, it is advisable to make a list of the essentials - this will protect you from impulsive purchases.
Remember the saying - "We are not rich enough to buy cheap things"? Try to buy what you really like and will last a long time, not what the seller strongly recommends, and not discounted auction items bought on the principle of "what if it comes in handy."
Don't skimp on yourself. Money spent on additional education, obtaining a driver's license or refresher courses will definitely return a hundredfold.
Don't save money for a rainy day. After all, what do you call a boat … Better to let the saved amount lie in an envelope called "Summer Holidays", "New Dress" or "Education".
The best day!
Imagine having a perfect day tomorrow. Plan it as you see fit. Perhaps you want to get a good night's sleep?
Do not reproach yourself for being lazy, this desire means that you really need rest now. And if, thinking about the perfect day, a lot of ideas came to you: to meet with someone, to make an important call, to finish something that has been postponed for a long time, fix them - these are the most significant goals for you!
