How to stay organized in 2021?
2020 has been a whirlwind. No matter how hard I tried, I felt like I just couldn’t get organized. When things closed down, the calendar and planner kind of went out the window because everything that I was planning had been turned upside down. I want to share with you the three things that I am doing to get organized in 2021.
Planner/Calendar: Don't skip on buying a good planner in 2021. Perhaps you are still under the impression that there’s no need for one of those as you had to throw out most of your 2020 plans. Plan your day, week and month. Before you are getting ready for bed at night, make a list of all the things that you want to accomplish the next day. Visualize yourself doing those things. When you wake up the next day, go over those items again and prepare for the day. Cut out the things that aren’t manageable or delegate those tasks. For me, I use this planner that you can find here - it gives me room to plan out my days, my tasks and the month at a glance.
Declutter: There is literally no better way to start the new year than shedding the clutter and selling things that you don’t need. Make a list of the areas that are causing the most overwhelm for you so you can focus on those first. These areas are where I will focus first that will also help me stay organized throughout the day. I have already sold over $100 worth of things in 2021 that I no longer use and that are just creating clutter and chaos in my life. Make money and have less stress.
New habits: A habit that I’m implementing into 2021 is planning my meals. For me, this is something that takes a while. I hate going to the grocery store. I am not great at cooking. Planning and implementing a new habit is something I can do. I am going to start preparing what a week of meals looks like. I can’t let fast food and poor planning get the best of me anymore.
These are just three of the things that I’m doing to kick off 2021 and get more organized. Send me a DM and let me know what you are doing in 2021 to get more organized!
