10 Tips For Keeping Organized | Daily Routine Tips

Using habits and routines can be beneficial and they all cycle into helping you keep organized and ready for work and life. In today's feature, we dive into ten tips for getting organized in your routine.

All of these tips are ones that I've fallen in love with and have used daily for a while now, so hopefully, they provide useful approaches to your productivity and organization.

Remember not to overwhelm yourself and solely implement these organization tips, overstressing your routine or workload can have negative effects on your productivity.

▶ 10 TIPS FOR KEEPING ORGANIZED:

1. Set clear goals & targets:
Use a Trello or Notion to plot your bigger goals and routines. View this daily to get re-focused towards what's important.

2. Craft your own space
Getting a little space to yourself allows you to take control. Using a desk or space to work or even to organize your most important tools/gear, will help massively.

3. Master your to-do list application structure
Make a strong base, using a to-do list app will help so much with the daily routine. Don't switch apps, learn to scale your to-do list application.

4. Plan your week ahead
It will save you time in the long-run. Set aside 20-minutes of a day, the week before, to plot all your calendar + tasks events will help.

5. Getting clothes ready
Decision-making, reduce in the early hours of the morning.
0 decisions in the morning so you can get working on what's important.

6. Less is more with productivity apps
Use fewer productivity apps and avoid the messiness of your iPhone or Android device.

7. Review your calendar
Spending 3-4 minutes exploring what's coming on, so you don't have to check constantly throughout your day.

8. Start with smaller rallies of tasks
Focus on getting the ball rolling and securing early success with tasks.

9. An ever-changing routine
Be open to a messy or changing routine. This will save you time and allow you to be more fluid.

10. Organise your iPhone homepages
Simple tip, but massively use for daily iPhone use.

Great tips! The preplanning is something I should be doing more of. For the last two years I've been living without any structure in my life whatsoever. Being a freelancer can be hard sometimes, never knowing what's next. I've been trying to use Todoist now for about a month and It's really useful for me outlining my week. (it also made sure I took my daily dose of vitamines, so that's a win as well!)

The preparing clothes and tea part kind of reminded my of C.G.P Gray and his pre packed backpacks with an iPad in both so he didn't have to worry about packing the correct stuff when leaving the house. He talked about that on the cortex podcast a year ago or so.

I personally try keep up with the Routines app, it is great when I get a morning where I can run at all them routines and makes it easier for me to keep on top with the timings of it, I never thought of the clothes the night before I might give that a go and get rid of it out of my routines app and save myself 15 minutes!

Cool episode. I just started recently getting my clothes ready for the next day, and I will say that has helped tremendously. Keep up the great work :)

Great video! I love your desk, where did you get it from?!

[dottygirl]

Great tips, many thanks for the vid. Can any one help? I currently use the Mac reminder app which is great and easy to use. My only complaint is the very discreet banner notifications. I often overlook the small grey rectangular notifications that pop up If I am very really busy, or have lots of programmes open on my desktop. Does anyone have suggestions for an app that I can customise to make the banners big, bold, colourful, and generally stand out. Many thanks in advance.

Been loving your videos as you are a time management freak like I am!👍

Hey Francesco, I'm a bit confused for how you use your label energy levels and the circle (p1, p2....) energy levels. Why do you use both of them when you can only use one? Thanks!
