Good Day!

Today I want to share a method of organization that I’ve been playing with for a while now and has been successful thus far.

Here is what I am able to do using this method:

• Keep track of all deadlines
• Break up my work and quickly adjust the schedule if I miss a day

What you will need to accomplish it:

• A fairly small or travel friendly notebook
• A pen or pencil
• Your deadlines, what you would like to accomplish, etc…

How I Keep My Week Organized:

1. Take Inventory of What I Would Like to Do and What I Must Accomplish: The first thing that I do is to get a different sheet of paper and label the days as follows-

Monday 9/5:

Tuesday 9/6:

And so on.

On each day, I put the date when I absolutely must have an item completed; in other words, I mark the appropriate deadline.

Then I list the things on the side, that I would like to complete.

2. Break Up the Work: Next, I break up the work by looking at each deadline and deciding how much time it will take me to complete that particular job.

On the other side of the paper, I bullet list each item that I need to work on that day.

3. List Appointment Times: When I have appointments or times that I need to go to work, I will often list them near the date so that I can take this into consideration when deciding on how much time will be needed to complete my “to-do” list.

On the Notebook:

4. Simply Copy Over the What you Have Written. View an Example, Below:
