Here are some links that might help you: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Organized http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_76.htm http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/how-to-get-organized I'm not that organized myself but I try to read magazines, articles around the net, and other resources to learn more. I suggest you do the same. You'll also learn from other people by watching them or asking them great ways on being organized.

The best tip I have for being organised is to allow yourself a set amount of time each day to get jobs done. I always ensure that at the end of every evening I move all washing up, recycling, rubbish etc and put it in the relevant place. I always make sure that when I wake up in the morning I do all washing up and clean the kitchen if needed. I will also try and make sure I make time to prepare the dinner before I head out to work. This helps my partner when he gets home as he doesn't need to waste time cooking and he can do other chores such as washing. It's always important to motivate yourself every day and by spending 15 or 20 minutes a day tidying up then we are able to have a day off together each week where we don't worry about doing any tidying up until bedtime. This is usually the day we have friends over and on the morning of the following day we just spend that little bit of time getting caught up on all the chores. With paperwork I always put everything in a big pile and then once a week I will watch one of programmes on catch up TV and sort through the filing, recycling and shredding and get it all done. I will then put away the washing and ironing at this time as well! Good luck with being organised, remember it's all down to time management and if you have a huge amount of jobs to do then just make a small list and work on one thing at a time.

I have many ways that I like to keep organized. The first thing that I can tell you is to make time every day to put things away. It is much easier to stay organized if you do not have to do a lot of work at one time to put items away. Set up some kind of system. I prefer to keep a file cabinet with folders for all papers and I put everything into a box during the week and then I put those into the file folders where they need to be once a week. Set aside a time each week to do this. Also, have a place for your clothes and put them there. Never let them pile up anywhere so that you have tons of them to put away at one time either. A small mess is much easier to clean than a large one.

To stay organized, I try and clean my apartment everyday. I do have an issue with piles of books being all over my living room, as I only have room for one actual bookcase, but even my piles are organised. lol I keep them in piles by topic and by author.
