Disorganisation

Is your room a mess? Is there too much to think about? Do you always lose track of time? Then you have a problem with: Disorganisation

What is Disorganisation?

Disorganisation is where you struggle to plan things out, maintain control of your daily routines and keep everything tidy. This can end up in you being in a big mess with your daily routine completely ruined.

What causes Disorganisation?

Disorganisation is caused partly by not planning ahead, losing track of time, lacking a focus to get you motivated and lacking the imagination to find creative solutions to help you organise.

How do I manage Disorganisation?

Managing Disorganisation involves looking at what you can learn to organise in the first place. There are 3 things that we can learn to organise: Storage (including Minimalism), Mind and Time. You can find different strategies for organising each of these areas below.

What is “Storage”?

Storage is having physical places to put things away in order to keep tidy. This can be something as simple as a box for quick tidying or something bigger like a chest of draws which allows you store more things in a more organised way.

Why is this so important?

People often say “The state of your room is the state of your mind” which means by tidying your room, you tidy up your mind freeing up space for your mind to focus on more important things.

How do I manage “Storage”?

Managing storage is all about looking for Simple, Intermediate and Advanced storage ideas to store your stuff neatly and safely. These strategies are all explained in further detail under the tabs above.

What is “Minimalism”?

Minimalism means to live with less (physical) stuff around your home and in your life. People who practice “Minimalism” only keep the stuff that they need and know will bring value to their lives.

What can “Minimalism” be used for?

“Minimalism” can be used to declutter your home, especially if you find yourself constantly hoarding things around your house that you just don’t need. You could declutter something as big as an entire bookcase or something as simple as a kitchen drawer.

How do “I” use Minimalism?

Minimalism can be broken down into a simple 4 step process: Piling-Choosing-Throwing Away-Reorganising. How you use each step of the process depends on what you are trying to declutter such as clothes or electronics. Before you Choose, you should get a bag or box ready so that you have a place to throw anything you want to get rid of.

How the 4 step process works

Piling means to collect all the stuff to together and organise it into piles to be sorted. Choosing means to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. Throwing Away means how to get rid of the stuff you don’t want. Reorganising means to put the remaining stuff away in a neat and tidy fashion. The steps of the process are all explained in further detail under the tabs above.

What does “Time” have to do with Organisation?

Time is constantly ticking whilst we are trying to get things done. It factors in everything we do such as day becoming night making it harder to see things and the simple fact that there are only so many hours in the day until the next day begins.

How do I Organise “Time”?

Time is valuable, it is one of the most powerful tools we have to accomplish things in our life. In order to organise your time efficiently you need to: understand What Wastes Time, Be Intentional, Schedule your Time and Make Distractions more Productive.

What does My “Mind” have to do with Organisation?

Organisation is important in order to keep our minds clear. Our minds process so much information on a daily basis, some it being irrelevant to us. If we are disorganised, then our minds are left to carry all that information with nowhere for it to, leaving us unable to figure out how to process it so we can move forward with our lives. By organising our minds, we can free them up in order to focus on what is important in our lives.

How do I Organise My “Mind”?

Organising Your “Mind” is all about finding ways to visualise what goes on inside it and knowing when to rest it. In order to Organise Your Mind efficiently you need to: Do a Mind Dump, Set a Reasonable Amount to do and Reflect on Your Day.
