Have you ever found yourself wishing that you were one of those naturally <\/span>organised<\/span> people? You know the type: the students or workers with meticulously curated planners, diaries and calendars. They always seem to be ahead of schedule, and what\u2019s more, they make it look so easy!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The truth is that no one becomes that <\/span>organised<\/span> without a little bit of effort. In fact, you can become an organisational superstar with the right tips too! Read on for Explore Careers\u2019 comprehensive guide to getting <\/span>organised<\/span> and unlock a more productive, stress-free version of you.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While <\/span>organisation<\/span> can be a tricky skill to master, effectively managing your tasks can reduce stress levels <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>increase productivity. In short, it\u2019ll make you feel like you\u2019re in control of your life and allow you to reach your full potential at work, school, or in your personal life!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, it\u2019s important to understand that there isn\u2019t really a one-size-fits-all approach to <\/span>organisation<\/span>. Rather, we should be curating our unique organisational strategies with our own strengths and weaknesses in mind.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The first step to figuring out where to start is determining how effective your <\/span>organisation<\/span> abilities already are. To do so, figure out if you resonate more with our <\/span>organisation<\/span> red flags or green flags:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you aren\u2019t acing <\/span>organisation<\/span>, it can feel like you\u2019re always a few steps behind. Instead of working on tasks in a timely manner, you\u2019re constantly behind schedule and desperately scrambling to get on top of your workload.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While it can feel productive to always be switched on, it\u2019s important to set aside some time for yourself! If you haven\u2019t set any boundaries that separate your designated work time from your personal time, you\u2019re putting yourself at risk of burnout.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Red flag #3 is closely related to being in \u2018catch-up mode.\u2019 If your <\/span>organisation skills<\/span> are lacking, your performance at school will likely suffer, and you\u2019ll end up missing deadlines. Remember, people who are on top of their workload don\u2019t need tonnes of extensions and midnight study\/work sessions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Having a messy workspace results in a tonne of disorganisation across the board. If your desk needs a Marie Kondo-style makeover, you\u2019ll likely be losing important documents, misplacing planners and, essentially, minimising your productive capacity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Are you the type to do all your work in bed? Or maybe you\u2019re using your personal phone to respond to work emails (outside of working hours). If you are, you\u2019re removing the distinction between relaxing time and work time. Like a lack of work boundaries, this red flag can lead to burnout and a lack of productivity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A telltale sign of a highly <\/span>organised<\/span> person is an obsession with either stationary or digital to-do lists. If you\u2019re a fan of both, that\u2019s all the better! Maintaining a detailed to-do list is a great <\/span>organisation strategy<\/span> (and a great excuse for stationary shopping).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you ensure that you\u2019re staying ahead of due dates, you effectively avoid any last-minute scrambles or missed deadlines; with this in mind, thinking ahead is one of our top <\/span>organisation tips<\/span> of all time! Trust us, thinking that your due dates can also be your \u2018do-dates\u2019 won\u2019t serve you.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A tidy workspace doesn\u2019t just help you stay <\/span>organised<\/span>, it\u2019s also <\/span>super <\/span><\/i>aesthetically pleasing. If you jump on Pinterest, there are a tonne of <\/span>desk ideas<\/span> for maximising your workspace\u2019s efficiency. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s a pretty fun <\/span>organisation tip<\/span> to dive into, too!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By keeping your work separate from your personal life and making plenty of time for yourself, you\u2019ll be able to maximise productivity by avoiding burnout. <\/span>After all, it\u2019s nearly impossible to stay <\/span>organised<\/span> when you\u2019re super stressed!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re not feeling overwhelmed by work or school very often, you\u2019re likely doing a pretty good job of staying <\/span>organised<\/span>. However, it\u2019s important to remember that even the most <\/span>organised<\/span> workers go through stressful times every now and then; it\u2019s just important to keep them to a minimum!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you mostly relate to the red flags for organisation, it might be time to put some new healthy habits into action. This might sound like a tall order, but don\u2019t worry too much; regardless of whether you\u2019re studying or working, we\u2019ve got you covered with organisational tips and tricks to get you feeling great and doing great work too!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With all our top tips in your arsenal, the only thing left to do is to put them into practice (which can be a little tricky when you\u2019re lacking motivation). So, if you want to get on top of your workload but can’t bring yourself to start, try reminding yourself of how grateful future-you will be for any efforts you make right now!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, staying unorganised is unsustainable, whereas implementing organisational habits will result in lower stress, increased productivity, and an overall happier life! If you keep reminding yourself of this (and treat yourself to a stationary shopping spree), we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be able to overcome any resistance!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While it\u2019s a bit of a cliche, it\u2019s time to ask yourself why you\u2019d put off until tomorrow what can be done today. By getting on the organisation train, you\u2019re setting yourself up for a bright, stress-free future. What\u2019s more, future you will <\/span>absolutely <\/span><\/i>thank you for it!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhy is Staying <\/span>Organised<\/span> so Important?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
