Tips to get organized

Being well organized takes lots of time and effort one other thing, you need to remember to put it back.

2. Keep it all in one place. Once you have developed the knack of writing everything down, your next step will be to keep your writing all in one place.

3. Stay healthy. A keen memory comes from a well-nourished mind.

4. Record your every thought. You might find yourself driving when a good idea about getting organized comes to you or you might recall something that you really need to write down. No need to pull over and start writing, record instead!

6. Be confident in yourself. Don't put yourself down. It is important to have a motivated, I CAN remember attitude.

7. Handy email reminders. There are many good and free e-mail reminder services available. This is a terrific way to jog your memory by Internet and to get organized.

8. Use sticky notes. Those wonderful, little sticky notes are the next best thing to sliced bread! They are amazing as memory helpers and to stay organized.

9. Use timers and alarms. Have to take the clothes out of the dryer by 12 noon? Set your alarm clock to remind you. Want to leave for the ladies luncheon by 7 p.m.? Set your timer to beep a few minutes before it is time to start to get ready. They remind you and keep you organized.
