Are you looking to bring more order to your life?

Do you want to bring some structure to your daily tasks and activities?

Adding more order to your life is as easy as taking a few simple actions.

Here are ten easy ways you can add more order to your life.

Make a checklist.

Jot down a set of recurring or regular tasks you must check or complete every month or quarter.

You could write down steps to back up your computer, how to run a complicated financial report, or final checks to make before submitting a project to a client.

You might even consider creating a checklist of items you must take with you before leaving home so as to be sure you have everything you need.

Automate a system or task.

Make things easier for yourself by automating a recurring task or task within a system.

Set an auto responder for an email subscription list or email account or enter in a list of consecutive to-dos in your productivity app of choice.

Line up a couple of bills for automatic payment or have your cellphone message converted to text or email messages and so on and so forth.

Take five minutes at the end of every day to tidy up.

Choose a room, or specific location such as a table top, counter or workspace to tidy.

Set a timer for five minutes and get to work!

Return items to their proper storage locations, clear out clutter and trash, and bring things back to order.

Start a go-to resource.

Make a mini-center for all those little things that come up in life, be it celebrations or just practical everyday things.

If you’re going the celebratory route, you could collect a couple of birthday, wedding, and thank you cards and stamps to have on hand. You could also stock up on a couple of generic gift cards and wrapping paper.

If you’re always fixing things around the house, create a little kit with duct tape, super glue, scissors, small toolkit, sewing notions and the like.

Make a method.

Give yourself a breathe of relief by making a method for yourself or your immediate environment.

Set a standard labeling or naming system for your computer and/or paper files or create a customer or product intake form.

Set a time every week to do your laundry or run errands or figure out a method of organizing your books in your bookcase.

Contain similar items.

The easiest way to bring order to bunch of similar items is to simply contain them.

Find a box, container, basket, or item in your home or office for storage for immediate use.

You might even want to purchase a special organizing product if you’re so inclined.

Label something.

Take five seconds to write down the contents of a box, container or document.

The label doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just make sure you identify contents clearly and appropriately.

Leave a note for your future self.

Create detailed notes of an issue or situation you’re handling right now in your life.

For example, if you’re sorting home insurance issues, write down the status of claims, conversations you’ve had with representatives via phone or email, as well as any payments made.

You’ll have a handy referenc for yourself in the future!

Make several go-to travel kits.

Create a variety of travel kits for your purse, workout bag, backpack, desk, and car glove compartment.

Stock up on various trial or travel size items and store in zippered plastic bags for handy use.

Some items you may want to include: tissues, cough drops, painkiller, deodorant, floss, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes.

Drop detailed information into your schedule.

Make the most of your calendar or schedule by dropping in details of meetings, appointments and conferences.

Be sure to include building locations, room numbers, attendees, and what items you’ll need to bring and other miscellaneous notes.
