hey what's up I am Michelle B and in
this video I want to talk about feeling
organized I think that stress chaos and
a little bit of disorder I like healthy
parts of life so long as they're in like
manageable doses otherwise life would
get pretty boring but as a general rule
for the most part you're going to feel
better if you're a little bit more guys
so in this video I am going to share
with you 15 things that I have done or I
do to keep my life feeling more
organized as a person who is not a
naturally organized person that you can
put into place pretty much straight away
so the first thing and probably the most
important thing is that I have a
calendar I like Google Calendar because
it is so easy to use it takes your like
a D and B bookings and your concept or
kings and it puts them automatically
into Google Calendar tip number two is
to have duplicate items for different
spaces sometimes I leave my house
without wearing deodorant honestly I
have no idea how it's been literally
over a decade since I started applying
deodorant
of a morning but it happens so rather
than like cursing myself when this
happens and being like oh like I need to
be more organized why am I not on top of
things instead I have a deodorant in my
glove box and in the drawer at work it
takes so much stress away from my life
because like the literally it's like
four times a year or something I'll just
forget to wear deodorant but there's
four times like I have catered to my
forgetfulness and I'm just like ah
awkward just open the glove box I'm good
to go you can probably do the same thing
with like Hannah Doyle and probably
tampons as well tip number three is to
set excessive reminders for yourself in
the calendar let you set up my calendar
is set up so that I have it ridiculous
reminders because my memory it's awful
like my short-term memory it concerns me
sometimes it's like two weeks out one
week out one day out four hours out 30
minutes out like it's something crazy
like that that I get all of these
reminders and it's so good because
otherwise I genuinely would forget that
I have plans
number four is to check it in as to what
you're doing every day and every week so
now you have your calendar down and
you've got your reminders set so every
week it's actually like during my little
Sunday review my Sunday life admin I
like to look at what's happening in the
week ahead what do I know I have one
that I haven't chucked into Mike Holland
all doing a little like calendar
you once a week I swear to God if you're
a person that does not remember things
life-changing tip number five is to
clean for 10 minutes a day so I recently
made a video on how to keep your face
clean and clear and probably one of my
top tips out of that video is to try and
clean for 10 minutes a day it makes such
a difference in terms of feeling like an
organized put together person when you
arrive home or you wake up in the
morning to a house that feels clean I
know one person comment on my last video
and said they actually don't let
themself go to sleep until they've
cleaned that space sink number six is to
create an important documents folder so
literally have one folder that holds all
of your important documents your birth
certificates your tax documents your
insurance documents qualifications I
obviously recommend throwing away all
the rest of your bits and pieces of
paper which is something that I did in
the 30 days to simplify challenge linked
down below my partner actually want me
this important documents photo and like
pre my important documents folder it was
like every time I needed to find
something important like my birth
certificate for whatever reason I just
could not locate it I have to like call
my mom
tip number 7 is to clean your handbag
out regularly having a clean handbag
literally makes you feel so much put
together nearly everyone that sees the
inside of my head bag is like why do you
even have a handbag like why did you cut
that thing around because I try to keep
it to like very few things I know it
sounds small but not having to hunter
your bag for the thing that you're after
this makes life so much simpler and more
organized tip number 8 is to automate
your money there is no need to freak out
about your rates and water if you have a
payment going towards your right some
water every single week there's no need
to freak out about whether you'll have
money for that experience if you have an
experiences account that you're putting
money into every single week I have I
think two videos on minimalism money and
just managing your money and automating
it a little bit more making it simpler
so I'll link those in the description
down below tip number nine is to create
your to-do list the night before I
recently did a video on how to craft a
good to-do list I'll link that in the
description and something that I've been
doing for a little while is trying to
craft my to-do list the night before
because waking up with a purpose just
makes life feel a lot more easier and it
flows a lot more simply tip number 10 is
to have a morning routine so I want to
make a few videos
morning routines coming up I find that
if I nail my morning routine and like I
know exactly how my morning is going to
flow I feel a lot more put together when
I start and head off to work or head off
my days it just really sets the tone and
it's more about that feeling of being
put together like if I know my morning
routine I'm like yes like I feel good
I'm good to go and if I have like an
inconsistent morning routine for a few
days it's like I feel scrambled and just
like not so me tip number 11 is to brain
dump regularly so this is also something
that I try to do within my sunday sort
of life admin day you just have so much
stuff that is like floating around your
mind just so much mental clutter letting
things just like linger in your mind and
keep nagging at you like four times over
because you haven't written them down
somewhere it's just the ultimate way to
feel like you're not on top of things
so find a trusted space and make sure
that your brain dumping regularly tip
number 12 have a calendar dedicated to
important people's birthdays so this is
something that I've only done recently
like I mentioned my memory not fabulous
so I rely a lot on reminders I actually
have four calendars so I have like my
custom one Michelle be channel notes my
second channel and then I have created a
birthday calendar do a big like spoke
message to all of your friends get their
birthday dates
put it in your birthday calendar that
way you will never forget a birthday
again and you don't get the notification
on like Facebook's day of their birthday
and freak out and be like completely we
thought about it you are prepared you
have your reminders set and you're good
to go
tip number thirteen start saving for
Christmas early literally like now would
probably be a good time to start saving
Christmas you'll feel a hell of a lot
more organized at Christmas time if
you're putting away your money early tip
number 14 is to keep a list of your
passwords in a safe space there are so
many apps that will help you to manage
your passwords so take advantage of them
and never have to unnecessarily reset a
password ever again and number 15 is to
declutter your life in 30 days so you
may have heard I recently released my 30
days to simplify a book which goes along
with my 30 days to simplify challenge
videos because the ultimate way to feel
organized is to have less crap
cluttering your space I've had so much
amazing feedback about the 30 days to
simplify challenge so I'm really excited
