Step 1: Write down everything you need to do
To help you get organized, it's important to write down everything you need to do during the day.
It can never be repeated often enough: "words fly away, but the written word remains".
The 1st step of the organization sheet is to write down all the tasks (appointment, race, accompanying your child, etc...) on the 1st part.
This way, you'll already have an overview of your day in just a few seconds.
Step 2: Priorities are noted
The second step is very important.
It consists in prioritizing all the most important tasks that you must do without putting them off until tomorrow.
Sample list:
- Picking up Chloé from school
- Preparing breakfast
- Showering children
- Going to the gym
- Shopping
- Pediatrician appointment
- Laying out the laundry
- Call Mathieu
- Watch a series on Netflix
- Playing on the console
- Doing homework
- Playing with children
- Taking time for yourself
- etc.
Keep only what is a priority for you and then move on to step 3 (the last and best step).
Step 3: Delegate!
The aim of the third step is to delegate some of the things you haven't prioritized.
Let's imagine that you have put in your priority list :
- Picking up Chloé from school
- Going to the gym
- Pediatrician appointment
- Call Mathieu
- Doing homework
- Playing with children
You can delegate these tasks to anyone:
- Preparing breakfast
- Showering children
- Laying out the laundry
- Shopping
Organization is the best way to simplify your daily life. It's great to have a stress-free day! It's your organization that needs to adapt to your intentions and imperatives .
