1. Keep track of money

Money is something that can easily stress people out. Organizing your money can help reduce that stress. There are a few mobile apps out there that can help you keep your monthly budget. Budgeting apps allow you to keep track and document all of your spending. You won’t have to worry about overspending and not knowing your financial state.

2. Jot down your thoughts

One key tip to organizing your life is to write everything down. No matter your age, it is hard to remember everything you need to. If you can, consider keeping a notebook and a pen with you whenever you can. Another option is to start keeping notes on the notes section of your phone. This is a good way to have a reference for yourself of all the little things that happen throughout the day. You can keep your to-do lists here as well!

3. Clean out your email

Going into your email just to find hundreds of spam emails can be annoying. It can also be difficult to find the emails that you were actually looking for. Spend some time organizing your email by opening the spam emails, scrolling down until you find the “unsubscribe” or the “update your preferences section,” and unsubscribing from them. This task may be time-consuming, but you will thank yourself later.

4. Personalize your recipes

It can be confusing to have your recipes all over the kitchen and on different pieces of paper. When you go to make dinner, you have to try to find the right recipe that you want and hope it is still intact. It is best to find a recipe card template that you like to personalize and get all of your recipes in the same format.

After everything looks the same, place all the recipes in a binder. You can also alphabetize them in larger categories of breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. This way, you know exactly where everything is and the recipes are easy to locate.

5. Create cleaning schedules

Cleaning your home can be time-consuming and frustrating. If you create a cleaning schedule for different areas of your home, you can split up the work and maintain some order. Distribute the tasks that need cleaning throughout the week or month depending on the time you have. The tasks will take a shorter amount of time, but you will be able to clean more efficiently. This eliminates having one cleaning day where you spend countless hours cleaning every corner of your home.

Make a huge impact

Knowing how to organize your life can help you lead a life with less stress. These little tasks can make a huge impact on your daily life.
