I know that we all have experienced of busy weeks or months that we can’t handle and feel frustrated about it. This can be about your schoolwork (such as assignments or exams) and also your work job. But I’m here to tell you that there is a fun way to handle all of your work altogether without messing up with other work and I’m sure this will make you addicted to work harder.
First of all, all you need is a planner or an organizer. It may sound boring, but this is the way for keeping life organized! Get some cute planner or something that has an interesting design so you’ll be using it for the rest of the year.
I really love my planner, I got it from TYPO by Cotton On, but you can also get a cute planner from stationery stores. There are different types of planners, and if you are new to it, get the handy one, not the thick one.
Here are the fun parts!
You will need:
– Colorful pencils or pens
– Colorful highlighters
– Sticky notes
– Cute paper tapes/tapes
– Stickers
Those items above will decorate your planner to look interesting and fun to read. Here is the example of my planner decoration.
Write down everything that you need to do on the calendar. I usually spend 10 mins before going to bed just to write stuff that I need to do within a week, just to make sure everything is on track. In this part, you don’t need to write in details — just point forms — and for further information you can write the details on the next page that has more spaces.
You can always put stickers and tapes anywhere. Don’t be afraid of not putting them right because the mess will make everything look artsy.
What I love about my planner is that at the end of the page, there is a little pocket that I can put important notes, such as receipts, invitation, and some pennies, which I also put some fun tapes over the pocket to look more fancy.
As you can tell, I know, I’m a planner freak. I found that having a planner or an organizer it is a lifesaver to keep my whole work on track and I know how to manage time. And the most important thing, I really need to keep my planner cute. Doesn’t matter how much my work is, everything needs to be colorful and interesting to read because it just builds up the spirit of finishing the rest of my work schedule and it feels like my planner is alive when stickers hanging there.
Let me know, how do you guys keep your work organized?
