Organize Your Time

June is one of the most hectic months of the year. Summer planning is in full swing, sports programs seem to overlap, there are graduations, communions, showers, weddings, vacations to plan, etc... So how do we stay on top of the hectic schedules and remain organized? Here 5 ways to keep your schedule running smoothly:

 

Schedule it all.  Put every activity, meeting and plan into your calendar. This way you'll know exactly what is going on and what you can realistically fit in.

 

Decline.  Don't opt in to every interest and social event that takes place. Choose your activities wisely.

 

Plan Ahead.  Organization is about creating systems so you can find things in the future. Anything you can do to plan ahead will make the hectic times less stressful.

 

Decompress.  Make sure you allow time to unwind. Re-group in between meetings and events. Running on fumes is neither productive nor enjoyable. Read more about carving out down time.

 

Enlist Help. Make use of carpooling, babysitters, reciprocate favors, and of course, call in the help of Chaos To Order to keep systems running smoothly!
