One of my New Year's Resolutions or goals (that's the better term) is to get organized and make better use of my time. I've been doing a challenge by Chalene Johsnon that has really helped me prioritize my life. It's helped to take my priorities and then focus my goals from there.
I have started using the app on my iPhone called AwesomeNote and it's Awesome. You can assign folders to your different tasks and then your to-dos are then categorized within each folder. Before I go to bed each night, I spend about 10 minutes putting together my to-do list for the next day. By doing this, my days are more focused. If I find myself getting distracted, I just go back to my to-do list and get refocused. I don't include what I have to do at school/work b/c when I get there each morning, I sit down and make a list on my desk of what needs to be done before I leave for the day.
I do schedule my workouts in my daily to-do list. If they are not planned, they will not get done. Before I go to bed, I get out my workout clothes, shoes, and the DVDs/equipment I will be using. That is my lifesaver. There's no excuse in the mornings when I'm dragging myself out of bed. Everything I need is there.
As busy as we all are, we have to be organized. You have to find what works for you. This is something I am constantly working on. If you have any tips on organization, please share in the comments box.
