the monthly necessities⋆.ೃ࿔*:･📔🎀

just some things like appointments, trips, dates that i like to plan before the beginning of each month so that i can set off on the right foot for a successful month.

MANICURE AND PEDICURE ; 

i like to schedule an appointment before the month starts to either get myself a new set or start fresh and let my nails breathe. i like to keep my toes done regularly because it just makes me feel so feminine and clean. 

FACIALS AND OTHER TREATMENTS ; 

things like a hair trim (you can designate a day to do it yourself or get it done professionally) and facials can keep you looking and feeling your best. 

waxing appointments 

getting ur brows or lashes done 

facials 

hair trimming 

it’s important to set aside those dates because booking appointments and making time to groom and pamper yourself is something that u can easily sweep under the rug, especially if ur not in the habit of pampering urself. 

IMPORTANT DATES ; 

make sure to set out dates that you don’t wanna forget! like birthdays, lessons, tournaments and competitions. make sure to put the important things in ur monthly calendar. 

applications and deadlines also go in this category so make sure to include those in ur calendar because you don’t wanna forget those. 

SOCIAL LIFE ; 

set aside times to have dinner dates with ur friends, include the dates of parties and get togethers.

lunch date 

dinner date 

brunch 

sleepovers etc 

i try and keep at least one or two days where i can be fully available with my friends so we can keep friendship strong. this includes other social events so that then you can keep your social life alive and thriving! 

ONE DAYS ; 

one whole pamper/spa day (my tip is to do this on a saturday or a sunday) 

one whole day without using social media 

one day in which u spend time outdoors 

one day to go somewhere that you never went before 

one day to help someone else and be there for them 

TIPS AND TRICKS ; 

if ur putting everything into ur agenda or calendar and you somehow still manage to forget things, log things in ur alarm clock. for example if u have a daily alarm clock that rings at a certain time, write something along the lines of what you need to remember. 

like if my alarm goes off at 6:00 am and it says “good morning beautiful” on important dates i’d write “good morning beautiful, you have an appointment at 9:00”. that way it’s like an active reminder. 

do your best to make ur calendar and agenda aesthetically pleasing, i swear it makes you more productive and happy to get things done and be prepared.

Organization Tip

Manageable Chaos & Maintainable Entropy

There was a point when no matter how many times I organize and and declutter and deep clean my room, it would just go back to being messy. It was a cycle of perfectly organized and unbearably chaotic with no in-between. That's when I found this idea, borrowing some Physics concepts (for I am a Physicist, through and through)

The key is finding the balance between:

Maintainable entropy: No matter how neat and perfectly organized you set your desk/room up, it always gets a little messy in 2-3 days. When you use your space, when you work with your things, it is bound to get disordered. And that's your maintainable entropy (a.k.a measure of disorder). You don't have to keep your space perfectly organized, just maintain it at this level of entropy. It's unrealistic to live in a room and maintain it like nobody touches anything. So embrace the entropy!

Manageable chaos: This is the maximum level of 'mess' that you can work with. How messy can your room get before it affects your mood or productivity. This is often less than the level where you can't even sit/sleep in your room without nudging away things - that's beyond your workable level. That is your manageable chaos. So find that level and when you seem to cross it, organize your room immediately. If it's within your level, and you have time, organize; if you don't have time, just maintain at that level and organize as soon as you get time.

When you try to keep everything pristine and perfect, you get too tired. And that's when the mess builds up and chaos reigns!

Perfection is the enemy of done.

So if you maintain your room in the maintainable entropy level, and keep it under your manageable level of chaos - your room will be consistently organized and neat! 🌻

I just had an idea and want to see if anybody else does this: do you guys ever remove seasonal clothes like shorts from your wardrobes/dressers when their times have passed for the year, fold them up, and pack them into a box in the closet?

I've realized that there's no real reason to keep my shorts mixed in with the clothes I can actually wear rn, they're functionally reduced to clutter until the weather warms up again next May or so. I could just fold them up and put them in a nice labelled box in the wardrobe to save space and reduce the time I spend searching around in my bottoms drawer.

Day 18: Weekly Review Steps

How I’m setting myself up for success using the weekly review checklist from How to Build a Second Brain

Checklist:

Clear your Email

I went through my email box to look at lingering emails from the week before.

Noted action items, saw that I need to schedule a meeting regarding the information I received in an email.

Logged notes in inbox

Check your calendar

Make note of important dates and deadlines.

Looked at past meetings and saw that I need to follow up

I looked at future meetings and saw that next week I have a mentorship meeting and a meeting I need to lead. I also made notes of what needs to be discussed

I noted that I need to reach out to my manager to see if I should ask if anyone else has something they want to put on the agenda.

Another project I was working on was a task that was due last week, and I noted the next steps.

Clear your desktop

Move documents on my desktop to their appropriate folders.

So the email contained a spreadsheet I reviewed and commented on earlier this week. Today I clarified and noted what needs to be done.

I also added a task to schedule a meeting with leadership so I can get my questions answered.

Moved spreadsheet to the project folder.

Clear your inbox

This was the most time-consuming since it was the first time I did it. It was very insightful to see how I jot down notes and areas where I can improve. I was also able to identify redundant information.

First I went through the tasks and moved them to the appropriate tabs on my OneNote.

Created new tabs for ongoing projects

I noted that I need to reflect on a project I just completed.

Choose your actions for the week

Focusing on wrapping up my completed project

Prepare for my meetings.

Wrap up project B.

Complete and publish articles.

Follow up and schedule a few meetings.

Stay positive and grounded through it all

Completing this reflection helped to ease my mind on things I need to accomplish. It also helped me map out what to focus on and allowed me to wrap up the previous week. Doing the steps above also ensures I fully sweep my digital world and account for all my tasks. I have confidence that I captured everything, and I will be starting the week on the right foot.

Best Ways to Keep Your Life Organized and Stress-Free

In today’s fast-paced world, staying organized and stress-free can feel like an impossible task. But with the right strategies, tools, and mindset, you can transform chaos into calm and create a life that feels manageable and fulfilling. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or personal goals, these tips will help you stay on top of your game. Let’s dive into the best ways to keep your life organized and stress-free!

Why Organization Matters

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about why organization is so important. Being organized isn’t just about having a tidy desk or a color-coded planner (although those are great). It’s about creating systems that make your life easier, saving time, reducing stress, and helping you focus on what truly matters.

When you’re organized:

- You’re less likely to forget important deadlines or appointments.

- You can prioritize tasks more effectively.

- You feel more in control of your life.

- You have more time for the things you love.

Now that we’ve established the “why,” let’s move on to the “how.”

1. Start with a Brain Dump

One of the best ways to clear your mind and get organized is to do a brain dump. Grab a notebook or open a blank document and write down everything that’s on your mind—tasks, ideas, worries, appointments, and goals. Don’t worry about organizing it yet; just get it all out.

Once you’ve emptied your brain, you can start categorizing and prioritizing the items on your list. This process not only helps you feel less overwhelmed but also gives you a clear starting point.

2. Use a Planner or Digital Calendar

Whether you prefer a physical planner or a digital calendar, having a system to track your schedule is essential. A good planner can help you:

- Keep track of appointments and deadlines.

- Plan your day, week, or month in advance.

- Set and track goals.

If you’re tech-savvy, apps like Google Calendar, Notion, or Trello can be game-changers. They allow you to set reminders, share schedules with others, and access your plans from anywhere.

3. Declutter Your Space

A cluttered space equals a cluttered mind. Take some time to declutter your home, workspace, or even your digital devices. Start small—maybe tackle one drawer or folder at a time.

Here are some quick decluttering tips:

- The 80/20 Rule: You probably use 20% of your belongings 80% of the time. Focus on keeping the essentials and letting go of the rest.

- One In, One Out: For every new item you bring in, get rid of one.

- Digital Declutter: Organize your files, delete unnecessary emails, and clean up your desktop.

4. Create Routines

Routines are the backbone of organization. They help you establish habits and reduce decision fatigue. Start by creating a morning and evening routine that works for you.

Morning Routine Ideas:

- Make your bed.

- Write a to-do list.

- Spend 5 minutes tidying up.

- Meditate or stretch.

Evening Routine Ideas:

- Review your day and plan for tomorrow.

- Prep meals or outfits for the next day.

- Unplug from screens at least 30 minutes before bed.

5. Prioritize Self-Care

It’s hard to stay organized and stress-free if you’re running on empty. Make self-care a priority by scheduling time for activities that recharge you. This could be anything from reading a book to taking a bubble bath to going for a walk.

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. When you take care of yourself, you’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

6. Learn to Say No

One of the biggest causes of stress is overcommitting. If you’re constantly saying “yes” to everything, you’ll quickly find yourself overwhelmed. Practice setting boundaries and saying “no” to things that don’t align with your priorities.

7. Automate and Delegate

Why do everything yourself when you don’t have to? Look for ways to automate repetitive tasks or delegate them to others.

Examples of Automation:

- Use apps like Zapier to automate workflows.

- Set up automatic bill payments.

- Use grocery delivery or subscription services.

Examples of Delegation:

- Hire a virtual assistant for administrative tasks.

- Ask family members to help with chores.

- Outsource tasks like cleaning or lawn care.

8. Stay Flexible

Life is unpredictable, and no matter how organized you are, things won’t always go according to plan. The key is to stay flexible and adapt when necessary. If something doesn’t work, don’t be afraid to tweak your systems or try something new.

9. Celebrate Your Wins

Finally, don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments—big and small. Whether it’s completing a major project or simply sticking to your routine for a week, take a moment to acknowledge your hard work.

FAQs

1. How do I stay motivated to stay organized?

Staying motivated starts with setting clear goals and reminding yourself of the benefits of being organized. Break tasks into smaller steps and reward yourself for completing them.

2. What’s the best way to handle procrastination?

Start with the easiest or most enjoyable task to build momentum. Use techniques like the Pomodoro method (working in short bursts) to stay focused.

3. How can I organize my digital life?

Use tools like cloud storage to keep files accessible, create folders for different categories, and regularly delete unnecessary files and apps.

4. What should I do if I feel overwhelmed?

Take a break, do a brain dump, and focus on one task at a time. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help or take things slow.

5. How often should I declutter?

Declutter as often as needed. Some people prefer a weekly tidy-up, while others do a big cleanout every few months.

Final Thoughts

Staying organized and stress-free is a journey, not a destination. It’s about finding what works for you and being consistent. With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.

planning basics⋆.ೃ࿔*:･📔

i feel like at this point im a planning MASTER i've been using notion to plan and organize my life for about two years now and before i discovered notion i used a manual planner. i've also made lots of content about planning but today i wanna just focus on the basics and how to organize ur life in a simpler fashion…💬🎀

SEPARATE UR TIME INTO QUADRANTS ;

so i like to separate my tasks into quadrants. im going to try and present it verbally. so the first quadrant would be urgent and important, things that are imperative for me to do. the second quadrant is important but not urgent.

the third quadrant is urgent but not important but its not necessarily imperative that i do them. and last but not least the fourth quadrant is what i classify as buffer time, mostly cuz its neither urgent nor important. and i'll go more in detail with that later on in the post. this is helpful because it helps u to place priority on the tasks that u have to do and not spend a day doing side quests while u have pressing matters that need attending to. this is called the eisenhower matrix.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CALENDAR AND AGENDA ;

so i keep a calendar and an agenda. the main differences between a calendar and an agenda is that the agenda is updated weekly, the calendar is updated monthly/whenever u make appointments.

i find myself looking at and checking my agenda more often then my calendar and thats mainly because im more in-depth on my agenda because im the kind of person who needs specific instructions to get something done. the calendar only tells u the date and the event but the agenda tells u more in depth about how to prepare and go about things.

DELEGATE AND OUTSOURCE TASKS ;

to delegate a task simply means to identify and give tasks that can be handled by others to free up ur time for more important work…💬🎀

GENERAL NOTION TIPS ;

use toggle lists

use THIS website for cute emoji combos (things like ❤︎ and ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･)

make a color scheme and stick with it

twitter headers work the same as notion backgrounds

GENERAL MANUAL AGENDA TIPS ;

color code tasks with adorable glitter gel pens. use post it notes to break down large tasks. like, write the broad task and on the underside of the post it note make a bullet list as u break down the task. mostly with manual agendas i just prioritize aesthetics because if it doesnt look good i won't wanna check it and perform it.

I loved the process of planning, the boxes for each class, the sections for homework,…
