In this easy to read and informative article by Steve at Zenhabits, he lists 20 great tools that will help you get organized. I find it really useful even though some of the things seem to be common sense. I know I am always in a mess and this list of tools helped me get a bit more organized.
Here are 5 tools that I find most effective for me from his article:
- Filofax-like organizer. Keeps all your info in a central spot:
calendar, to do list, project list, watch-list, later-list, notebook and inbox,
important addresses and phone numbers, important information to have on hand,
tickler, diary.
- A stack of 3×5 index cards. It can be a ubiquitous capture
device; keep context-based to-do lists; you project list, notes. Very
modifiable, portable, fast, easy to use.
- The garbage can. Reduce before organizing. Toss anything that’s
not absolutely needed, and you won’t have a need to organize. It’s liberating,
too!
- Landing strip near your front door. It’s for unloading your
stuff as you come in, so it stays organized, and so you don’t forget it as you
leave the house.
- A notepad and a pen. Classic, and perfect.
