 10 Tips to Simplify Any Space





 

 

Use Your Calendar to Simplify Your Busy Life

by Marcia Ramsland, author of Simplify Your Life: Get Organized and Stay that Way!

Cherish your time by treating your personal calendar as a prized possession. Keep your calendar with you at all times, if possible. Having your appointments, meeting plans, and phone numbers close by will help you successfully manage any changes that come up.

The way you schedule events can simplify or complicate your life, so remember to:

1. Keep one monthly calendar.
 
2. Write down all your appointments in one or two words.

3. Diagonally mark off passed date boxes while reflecting if it was time well spent.

4. Pencil in all appointments and potential events coming up.
 
5. Promptly say "no" to invitations and meetings that you cannot or do not wish to attend.

6. Always respond to everyone who contacts you.

7. Offer two alternative options when rescheduling an event.

 
One Life, One Calendar

Most people have many parts to their lives and more than one calendar to manage them. This can be a problem. If you have a calendar on the refrigerator, one in your purse, and one at work, you’re going to be one overscheduled, busy person. The worst part is that you’ll be leaving out the most important commodity to make it all work -- you.

There are only twenty-four hours in anyone’s day, and you don’t need to add to your stress by feeling fragmented and having things fall through the cracks. Your calendar-- a single calendar should reflect a balanced and satisfying life for you. You can start that journey by consolidating your activities through living one life on one calendar.

          (Excerpt from Simplify Your Life: Get Organized and Stay that Way!)

My book Simplify Your Life: Get Organized and Stay that Way! is complete in itself to teach you how to do this in step-by-step systems.  The audio CD also contains 60 photos that actually let you “see and hear” how all the wonderful tips in the book actually work. You will find yourself saying, "I CAN do this."
