Welcome to September Friends! This means, long sleeves flannel, and hot drinks! It also means back to the grind, a routine and for some, back to school.
While preparing myself for another year of working hard, studying harder, and of course, planning my future trips, I found myself starting to lose balance of everything. Its better to realign yourself at the start rather than once you've started an uneven routine.
So how can you stay organized when theres lots going on?
- Buy a planner. Yes, ditch your technology and use that pen and paper. It'll allow you to process your thoughts as you are writing them. In doing so, you are less likely to forget important tasks you need to complete.
- Create a plan. Pull out that beautiful planner you have on your desk and plan. Map out your days, weeks and months. When you plan your life, you can accomplish everything needed.
- Plan your day, what you need to bring for the day. Prepare for possible setbacks. You know, the ones we all love, phones dying half way through the day, trains making you late for work, spare jacket or umbrella incase it rains. Make your life predictable ( to a point). The more in tune you are with your life, the less stressed you will become.
- Make your bed. Yes. I will be your mother for a split second. You will feel much better when you come home after a long day to a bed that is made. Just thinking about my bed being made makes me excited for bed and forget any problems from the day... because I'm happier.
- Positive outlook on your accomplishments. Face it. This one at times may seem far fetched. Its not. Its really easy. It ties with my first point. Plan. When you have a plan, you are able to see your accomplishments, where you need to be, and where you are heading. That being said, when you find yourself falling behind, look at your accomplishments and use those to bring you forward to be where you need to be
- Schedule some time for yourself. You do you boo boo, you do you. This is the most important step and I've saved it for last.
You need YOU time. Nothing will get completed, or done well if you don't set time for yourself. You will continue to feel like you are backing yourself into a corner and unable to return to normalcy.
- Drink water + eat healthy. This is a no brainer. When you eat healthy, your body thanks you. Its able to function longer without draining your energy by noon. This doesn't mean you can't have a cheat day. Just make sure its on meal, one day out of the week.
- Multitask. Take your laptop, and play a movie while your doing your laundry or listen to music. Make your chores enjoyable.
- Prepare your meals two days in advance, you won't feel so stressed out the night before a big day.
- Set goals. Be realistic with yourself. Don't take on more than you can handle. We all have a threshold and a breaking point. Lets not get to that point.
- Have fun! As small as this seems, this is most important with anything you do. No matter what life throws at you, have fun doing it. If you are not enjoying it. Rethink what your reason for starting is. If there is nothing keeping you with this path find something similar but in a different direction. If you want something completely different, that okay too.
Just don't give up:)
