Getting Things Done!!! It is an important step in getting your life organized. Remember that soundtrack from the iconic movie Flashdance? Irene Cara was bellowing out “What a Feeling!”…..Well that is how I felt today… I got things done!!!! The previous night I made a plan, set some goals, and had a good night sleep. This sets your intentions and prepares your mind for the next day tasks. If you go to sleep without clear intentions and goals you will wake up with no path to follow and your day won’t be as productive, which in turn will make you feel unaccomplished :-( I don’t like that feeling. Like many others I have things that I dread doing or simply “don’t have the time to do “ (???) so I decided, no more procrastinating. Another little helper was my list of to-do, and I did not just make a random list, but I tried to think about the places I needed to visit and arranged my list according to my route.
Once I got home I had more tasks to take care of.
I portioned my meats so I can quickly defrost only what I need, and precut my veggies and fruits leftovers for next meal. I use the precut potatoes for breakfast hash browns, the strawberries in smoothies, and the chopped veggies for stir-fry meals. I accomplished everything that was on my list and it was not that hard, I just have to set and prepare my mind for it. And like the good old James Brown sang…. I feel Good!!! I knew that I would! Once you are able to get things OFF your to do list, and off your mind you will feel like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders. Walking around carrying with you the burden of things undone, feeling unaccomplished and frustrated is not how you want to spend your days. When you are relaxing in your home those undone and overdue items are looking at you, reminding you over and over they are waiting. Getting things done will rid you of those reminders and make you feel lighter, relaxed and happier. All you need is some planning, a little motivation and intention. Here are some tips to help you along:
In conclusion, being and staying organized requires multiple steps, routines, habits and good planning helps you to maintain that organization you worked so hard to achieve, it is not hard and definitely doable, set your intensions and go!
