Go through your stuff; keep only what you use\/need and what gives you joy. Donate, dump, or sell the rest. Use aids such as partitioned containers to group and organise your items. It\u2019s important to have everything in its place, somewhere that makes sense. Put things back in the same spot to make it easier to find them, as you associate the item with a specific location. Habitually spend 15 minutes at the end of each day keeping surfaces clean and clutter-free. You\u2019ll feel psychologically enabled and prepared the next morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compile literal daily to-do lists to improve productivity, reduce the brain\u2019s burden, and enhance focus. Maintain a physical\/digital calendar so you don\u2019t miss any important deadlines or occasions. Set calendar reminders, so you\u2019re not scrambling at the last minute or forgetting to buy stationery for your son\u2019s school project. Don&#8217;t over-book your diary and block out periods for downtime and reflection for a calmer, more structured life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being aware and proactive is also part of being organised and feeling empowered. For example, notice and reduce patterns of stress so that you\u2019re not constantly triggered and reactive. For example, if you find yourself always getting angry in traffic, try to understand why, and find a way to address those issues. Perhaps leaving home 30 minutes earlier might be less stressful. If your nature is to leave things to the last minute, investigate the reasons for your procrastination, and consider breaking projects into smaller tasks with daily deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to get organised in all aspects of your life, please contact LifeAssist for confidential support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want less stress?
