These are real things to worry about. As a support worker this is where being organised works well as I prioritise and focus on what needs to be done first to try and resolve an issue.
We will always have everyday little life worries but there is always hope. This is what I try to instil in my customers; to always have some hope and to remain positive. My mum is a very inspirational and positive woman and I can always hear her voice of reason when I start to worry about things. At Bromford Support we do our best to support customers through their crisis and we have been successful in this for many years. We are passionate about people, are willing to help those who want to make a difference and change their lives for the better.
Unfortunately, if there is a page that I need to refer to several times, I can lose time paging through my notebook. But I found a solution for that as well — I use the new magnetic bookmarks that fold over a page. I put one magnetic bookmark on each page that I need to refer to frequently. I also use a bookmark to hold my place in the notebook so that I can easily open to a fresh page. In my mishmash notebook, I also take notes on all my phone calls — even my calls to family and friends.
It is a quirky habit and may seem unnecessary, but if I write things down, I usually have an easier time remembering them. Ironically, I end up not referring to my phone call notes very often. I just jot down things I need to do in my notebook.
However, I do use the to-do list software for another purpose. Even though the software is meant for tasks, I can make lists of anything I want to. I also use Taskwise to keep a list of sources that I use when I write memos, blog posts, and other documents.
That way I can easily refer people to where I got my facts, in case someone wants to know later on. I am trying to spend less time with technology and more time doing things that give me energy and make me feel alive.
I try not to check email more than once or twice a day. I stopped using an electronic calendar except for events that I need an electronic reminder for because the calendar was becoming one more thing that I had to take time to maintain.
I wanted to decrease my screen time, not increase it. It actually saves time. I pile stuff on my desk. All the files, books, notes, business cards, and other assorted items that I need for my current projects are sitting on my desk in a big jumbled mess.
I always seem to find what I need. I used to try to organize it all. I would spend an hour every evening cleaning off my desk and putting my files away. Then in the morning I would get everything out again. But why take time to do that? By now, some of you may be totally disappointed with me, especially if you are a professional organizer or a dedicated follower of one.
But this system works for me. If you are finding that your organizational aspirations get in your way and cause you to fall behind in your work, maybe you could allow a little more chaos into your day!
At the end of the day there are a couple of ways to keep yourself in check. First Name. Last Name. Email Address. Sign Up. We respect your privacy. We won't sell or share your information. And if your organization does go too far, what should you do about it? Today I have some answers that should hopefully help you find a happy medium.
If you are hopelessly worried about appearances and having nothing out-of-place, especially to the detriment of other things in your life, the answer may be yes.
