Life is difficult to everybody, so you need to organize your life well. Here are some suggestions which might give you some help to manage your life well.
Write everything down and do not rely on your memory. 1. If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, especially when you have hit your head and forgotten some of them.
2. Try this experiment before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you do not use. Or, if you are a really pack rat(不想扔任何东西的人), just throw out one old thing a day until you can not find any more items to throw.
Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags(标签) on? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you have not read, worn, or used whatever they are, they you are probably not going to use them at all. 3.
Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. 4. Distribute tasks properly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming(吸尘) could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly. Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can not completely organize your life in one go(一口气).
5. Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.
A. Practice putting things away immediately
B. Throw one thing before buying something
C. It is a long and never-ending process, so be patient
D. Give them to a charity or sell on the internet
E. It is extremely exhausting to clean everything all at once
F. To keep up with tasks, you need to work with your family
G. We all agree most of us have a tough time remembering things
