Being Organized

ing Natacha Petit-frere Professor Donigan December 1, 2011 Being Organized Many of us are incompatible of being organized. Organization is a skill that must be learned and practice by an individual. Its a rare soul among us who doesnt feel the need to get more organized. I consider myself fairly organized I show my organization skills by organise my clothes by style, seeming coding sections for my college courses, having a opinion poll of paper, a calendar and a white board.A lot of us always just lance our clothes in the closet and its always out of order. Especially when pants, shirts and dresses are anywhere. On the other hand, we dont know exactly where they can be found. This can be terrible when we know what we want to put on but cant find it. In my closet I relieve oneself my clothing in coordinating order. I put jackets in the front and pants in the back. The type of color style I use is darks in front and lights in back. Having this type of organization in my closet is very helpful.Im a visual person, and I find that color-coding sections for my college courses minimizes the time I thrust to spend looking for them. This works especially well while Im in class. I dumped every class syllabus into a cat valium folder called class syllabus, and then color-coded every class period blue for paper due, yellow for quiz, red for test, etc. It took awhile to set up, sure, but for the assuagement of the semester I only had to glance at class syllabus to get a very clear idea of what kind of week I was liberation to have.Thinking if I didnt have this type of organization for teach I would be kind of stress out. When Im not in school Ill be using color-coding for work assignments also. Ive found that the easiest way to organize days, myself and so forth is a good paper calendar, a sheet of paper that I divide into four sections and a medium sized white board. For my paper the top left section is my actual running to do list for today. The top right secti on is my running grocery list, or list of things I must purchase.The bottom left is for notes such as calls I made, individuals I spoke to, and appointment dates. The bottom right is whatever I need to move to another day. If Im told to call back on Monday, then I note that on the calendar. As for the white board, my family can make notes. Can I borrow some money on Friday? , grannie called, and I also jot down things that I feel are important to them. My calendar, and the white board are in the same location, so I can transfer short notes if need be.I carry my paper task list with me everywhere, so I can make notes at any disposed moment. Finally, Whatever electronics or paper you use, make them work for you not the other way around. Does coordinating our clothes really have to stay in color coding order or using a sheet of paper every 5 minutes? Maybe, but I bet youll get a whole lot more done if you check it a few times per day. That goes for the Blackberry too After all, there are so many tools, and one to fit everyone and thats why Im happy with the organizational system I use.
