Get Organized by Finding Your Focus

December 23rd, 2009 Goals & Time Management

How can you get organized if you don’t know what you want to accomplish?  It’s very easy to have lots of great ideas for how you want to spend your time whether it be on home projects, business plans, hobbies or any type of activities.  And it’s easy to get scattered doing a little bit here and a little bit there but never really accomplishing or completing any one activity or idea.  So, let’s stop the madness now and step back to make a plan.  I’m doing that right now for my business plans for the upcoming year.  I’ve really thought about what my dreams are and where I enjoy spending my time the most.  Now I will be mapping out plans monthly to get where I want to go!

You too can sit down and think about what your focus is.  What will make you happy?  What would you like to accomplish or complete?  What would you like to eliminate? 

  • Get out paper and pencil or your computer and jot down what you would like to accomplish.  Make this reasonable, like 3 things.
  • Choose the task that you would like to accomplish first. 
  • Now break this down into manageable steps.
  • Make sure you have a timeline, use your calendar to add deadlines for each step.
  • Keep track of your progress if needed.

Here’s an example:

Say you want to run a 10k:

  • One day research local races in your area
  • Choose a race/date & sign up
  • Place it on your calendar
  • Decide how much you need to train each week to be ready
  • Schedule in training time throughout your week
  • Train, train, train
  • Have fun on race day!

Get organized with focus and a plan!
