What's a better way to become organized at work?

Don't hold yourself down to a planner or a long list.\n\nI use a 3 x 5 card.  I put a few of the things that I have to do that day.  I carry it with me.  I look at it when I am at a red light, on a break, etc.  The 3x5 isn't that big so I cannot load it down with a lot of stuff.  Therefore the list seems manageable.  Plus there's some satisfaction in crossing off the tasks.  Challenge yourself to do it and see if you get some results.

You need to be more organized, I know i have the same problem. I study hard but it is my disorganization that gets me in the end

Show up early everyday. Do not sit around a socialize most of the afternoon. Get you work completed in a timely manner and correctly. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification or for help if you do not know how to do something. If your work is done, ask your supervisor if there is any additional work you can do to help them or the company. And always dress professionally. Always be professional in your dress, speech, and written communications. Also let your boss know you want to excell in your career and see if they will put you on a plan, where you have goals and if you meet them, you get "x"

Lots of ways but one I'll mention is: To Do List. One per day. You put the most important task first. Then second and so forth. You may not get them all done but you'll surely get more done that if you had no  prioritized list. This may seem too simple but guess what one of the richest men in USA once said? He was asked how he gets so much accomplished; how was he so successful, etc. One of his answers was: My daily TO DO LIST. Think about it. Try it.

Go into your boss with a memorized outline of your accomplishments and bring them up when relevant. If he/she is not catching on that you want to have that discussion then email or set up a time with he/she that you want to talk career growth, knowing you have all these "accomplishments" on file in your mind.\n\nBUT, you should save emails, notes, phone calls and keep record of all the wonderful things you do so you can use them as ammunition when the time comes.\n\nGood luck

Google "professional organizer" and you'll get lots of links to people who do it (whom you can ask for advice) as well as the professional societies (of which there are some).

List all the things you must do in your personal life (e.g. food shopping), and in your working life - two lists.  Identify the regular jobs, daily, by day, weekly. List those on day-by-day columns.  That should leave spaces for "inflow".  Then each week, and each night, plan those infills you can plan - but leave gaps for "more to come".  That will allow you to prioritise your efforts, and leave a sense of being able to cope with the unexpecteds.  We can waste a lot of time on the "urgent" things, instead of the "important" ones, otherwise. NEXT you might try a year planner on your wall - or something I used, a "Bring Forward" system.  It had 32 manilla folders, dated 1 to 31 for the days of the months; the 32nd was called "seeds" which were jobs I could pick up when time was truly spare; and then there were 12 folders for the months of the year.  As a job or task emerged, I would make a quick dated note, drop it into the appropriate day-file (or month-file) for when I needed to deal with it.  Clear desk. Mind focussed on job at hand (which always included periods for "idle thought" and another for "review").  Stress and anxiety relieved.  And all jobs done.  But I still had to work all night sometimes -- and when I had two personal secretaries and a dictation machine with two transposers I was flying.  Nowdays I'm long retired and use the "reminders" and calendar functions of my mobile telephone for similar functions.  By the way, touch typing was my greatest aid in everything, apart from good people. Any executive is only as good as his off-sider or secretary.

The best would be to look at the syllabus for each class. Then section each binder according to the specific requirements for that class. \n\nGenerally speaking, I would divide it as follows:\n\nNotes\nTests\nHomework\nOther\n\nI think most classes have these catagories. Glad to see you want to get organized. Organization and motivation are two things you need to succeed! \n\nHope this helps.

Read "The Articulate Executive" by Granville N. Toogood (yes, that is his real name). An excellent book for fine tuning communication and leadership skills in the work place or whatever situation in life.

Keep a calendar and MAKE SURE you write everything on it.  Clear your work up at the end of each day so you start the next day without a lot of leftovers from the day before.

In your application, don't talk about your responsibilities, talk about your accomplishments, especially in terms of how you either saved money, saved time, or earned money for the company. Use action verbs to accentuate your accomplishments.\n\nExample: \n\n"Improved productivity 5% by optimizing office workflow"\n\ninstead of "Managed office activities"

Keep a little notepad & pen with you, & every time something pops into your head; write it down.\nBegin setting a fixed time, daily, when you do thiese lttle things. This will discipline you to manage your time better while developing some organizational skills, too.

Walk around a lot looking like you have somewhere important to go. I actually used to do that a lot when I worked for IBM. It really works and ppl think you are SOOO busy all the time. heeheh

Put stuff in boxes or baskets that slide under your bed. Get those large Rubbermaid or Sterlite plastic containers with lids (fairly cheap at Target) and put extra clothing, blankets, and stuff in them and stack them out of the way. You can cover a stack with a tablecloth and put a vase of flowers or something on it to hide it. Have a yard sale if you can get it together before guests arrive and ditch things you haven't used or worn for months. Use the trunk of your car for storage in a crunch, or rent a storeroom and haul boxes of goods over there - out of the way but still accessible. If you get bookcases, get DEEP ones and you can stack two rows of books on them instead of one so they do double duty. You can install hanging shoe organizers or clothing hooks behind doors, or there are sets of wire shelves that hang on backs of doors for more storage. For paperwork, get some Bankers Boxes and toss it in there - you can sort it later when you have time and meanwhile, it's all together. Store the boxes under your computer desk or stacked in a closet.
