How to organize your time?

Organizing your time is undoubtedly one of the biggest concerns. Sometimes it can seem exhausting to the point that you organize your time, but then you don't do everything and you end up dragging yourself along and letting things flow.

What you need to do is organize your time , using the appropriate time management techniques that help you focus your energies on tasks, so that you can carry out your daily activities successfully.

Identify your daily routine

If you identify your daily routine, you can identify those actions or behaviors that are taking up your time without you being aware of it. At the same time, it will help you identify which routines are more difficult for you and which ones are more difficult to carry out.

What you should do is write down in a diary, on a computer or on your cell phone everything you do in a day, from the time you get up until you go to bed. You can add an estimated time for each of these tasks, as well as identifying them by color, for example: green is the color for tasks that benefit you, blue is the color for those that are not relevant, and red is the color for those that you consider make you procrastinate.

✅ Snooze my cell phone alarm twice before waking up

✅ I check my cell phone for 15 minutes

✅ I stop

✅ I make the bed

✅ I close the bedroom window

✅ I'm going to the bathroom

✅ I take a shower

✅ I dry myself

✅ I carry out my personal hygiene routine

✅ I get dressed

✅ I drink a coffee

✅ I prepare breakfast

✅ Breakfast

✅ I check my cell phone for 20 minutes

✅ I brush my teeth

Making this list to identify your daily routines is very important, because most of the time we are not aware of the activities we do during the day, and we are not able to find the cause of that feeling of having spent the whole day doing nothing, not having taken advantage of the time and feeling frustrated and guilty. This way you will be able to identify what makes you less productive, and takes away the time you can invest in doing more important tasks, and of course you will be able to organize your time better.

Make a list of tasks in order of importance

After identifying your daily routine, you must identify those tasks that have the highest priority, those that have medium priority, and those that have no major importance. It is recommended that you write them down and organize them according to the level of importance; you can use the list to help you.

1: It is very important

2: It is of medium importance

3: is of low importance

An example if you put this way of organizing your time into practice would be like this;

➕ Finish watching the series: 3

➕ Progress in the monthly report: 1

➕ Perform the daily exercise routine: 2

➕ Make dinner: 2

➕ Practice English lesson: 1

We present this example to give you an idea, but all of this will depend on the importance you give to your daily routines, for this you must be honest with yourself. The tasks must be aligned with what you want, your daily goals and what interests you.
