Mid-week Musings: Organization

My desk at work is covered in sticky notes with reminders of things I need to do. It is getting bad, and, as the new year is here, I find myself rethinking my current organizational strategy at work.

![400C76BD-E8DC-46A7-8DE0-7FB847CFF7E3.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1515010464/xtzljsakuuvxbpgmdsyq.jpg)

I have used a number of different methods to get organized - outlook task reminders, hand written checklists/reminders, sticky notes, online organizational tools, and excel spreadsheets. I am not sure which has worked the best for me, but I do know I need to be more consistent in whatever method I do use, as I tend to start new lists based on old lists and vary my method quite frequently.

Regardless of the organizational checklist used, one thing that has helped make me more productive is making a "budget" for my day where I tell my time what I am going to do with it by planning out my daily schedule, as opposed to letting the day come to me and wondering where the time went at the end of the day. This method has made me more productive for sure, but hasn't solved the "tracking" issues I need to figure out.

My work is highly varied from day to day, and I have people and departments I manage, so I need to stay flexible and open, but still need to simply get some things done. The checklists are important so that nothing gets missed, even if I am not doing the specific task myself. Therefore, I will inquire of my Steemit friends - What is your method of keeping organized?

Thank you!
Brian

Budgeting is really helpful, I use reminders on my phone sometimes so that I won't forgo some tasks. Although, I give more time to some unplanned things at the end of the day. Lol

I am the sticky note queen! I like to organize them in my calendar so I can pull when finished and update with new. Color code. Yellow is family. Green is bills, etc. Good luck! Blessings in 2018

I am a school teacher, so I have gotten into the habit of keeping a list on the dry erase board. I make it so that is large enough to see from across the room; otherwise, I'm like you: I'll have a dozen different list spread out all over the place.
