Everyone always tells me I’m the most organised person they know. I often hear:
-
“It’s ok for you, you’re organised.”
-
“It’s easy for you, you remember everything.”
-
“You do it, you’ll remember.”
The truth? I don’t.
The Challenge of Staying Organised
I used to think I had a great memory and was naturally organised, but that changed when I started my own business. Suddenly, one role became every role!
A few years ago, my ability to remember everything started to fade. The busier I got, the more there was to remember and the more I began to stress. I didn’t forget everything, but staying organised came at a cost:
-
Late nights cramming tasks while they were still fresh in my mind
-
Restless sleep
-
Juggling clients, business accounts, invoices, proposals, events, stationery orders, software updates, and much more
Sound familiar? You probably have just as much to manage!
The Secret: LISTS
So, what’s my secret?
Lists!
It may not sound revolutionary, but it works. Writing my to-do list and updating it daily takes the pressure off trying to remember everything.
-
Evening: Update the to-do list for the next day
-
Morning: Review the list and know exactly what needs to be done
No more restless nights, no more undue stress, just a clear plan to tackle the day.
