The Power of Orderliness

As I'm sure you've noticed, there are a lot of people in the world who aren't as organized as they could be. And while it's easy to give them a hard time, consider this: being disorganized is less than ideal. It's not just an inconvenience; it can actually make your life harder. If that sounds like hyperbole, let me explain what I mean.

Your daily goals depend on it.

When it comes to completing tasks and meeting goals, being organized is an important part of the process. If you have a clear idea of what your goals are, it will help you stay on track as you work towards them.

When setting your daily or weekly goals, be sure that they are achievable within a reasonable time frame. They should also include realistic steps that can be broken down into smaller parts as well as rewards for achieving each part. For example: “I want to lose five pounds by March 1st” can become “I will walk 30 minutes every day this week except Sunday when I will take a yoga class; by the end of February I'll have lost two pounds; if I reach my goal weight by March 1st I'll reward myself with a spa day."

It's important not only that we set our own goals but also that we stay focused on them each day in order for us not only to succeed but enjoy doing so!

When you don't have a plan for the day, your day will have a plan for you.

There’s a great quote that says, “When you don’t have a plan for the day, your day will have a plan for you.” I think this is so true—and it can be applied to any aspect of life. When we don't have a plan for how to accomplish something or what our priorities are for the day, then things happen that take us away from our goals and objectives.

If we organize ourselves by writing out our goals and making lists of tasks and priorities, then having an organized schedule becomes much easier. When we know what needs to get done and when it needs to be done, it frees up more time in our days because there are fewer decisions that need to be made as they arise throughout the day.

Get a good handle on the time that you have to work with and the time you have to work with it.

The first step in taking control of your time is to get a good handle on the amount of time you have to work with and the amount of time you have to work with it. Let's say, for example, that you're planning an event at your office. You know that there are 3 hours between when they arrive and when they leave—and also know that they'll need an hour to get ready before they even show up at your door. This information can help inform how much work needs to be done, who will do it (your staff versus outside vendors), and what kind of style or theme will be best for this type of event (casual vs formal).

Being deliberate with yourself keeps you from wasting time and energy.

The power of being deliberate is that you’re able to spend your time and energy wisely. When you’re not spending your time on things that don’t matter, it gives you the opportunity to spend more time on the things that do matter.

Being deliberate with yourself keeps you from wasting time and energy.

When we are hasty or spontaneous, we tend to do things impulsively—without thinking them through. We often regret our actions afterward because they weren't well thought out or planned ahead of time, which means they didn't produce the results we wanted in the first place!

We also end up wasting a lot more energy when we're not being deliberate with ourselves because our lives become chaotic and messy as a result of acting carelessly all the time (especially when there's too much going on at once).

Getting organized helps you more than you know.

• Organization helps you feel more confident
• Organization helps you feel more in control
• Organization helps you feel more productive
• Organization helps you feel less stressed and anxious
• Organized people are generally happier people

We all know how frustrating it can be when we don’t have control over our time and energy. It can feel like we’re being pulled in a million different directions and everything is out of control. But the truth is that if you’re not organized, then your tasks will most likely take over your life. And that’s where things start to get really messy. By taking a few minutes each day (or week!) and by focusing on getting organized, you can get more done without spending more time doing it—and without feeling like everything else in life is falling apart around you!
