Any advice on becoming more organized?

I am a Getting Things Done adept since more than 10 years. I believe it's made me consistently more organized and productive.

"Getting Things Done (GTD) is a personal productivity system developed by David Allen and published in a book of the same name. GTD is described as a time management system. Allen states "there is an inverse relationship between things on your mind and those things getting done"."

I'd highly recommend reading Everything in Its Place by Dan Charnas - he examines the methods and strategies employed by top chefs to produce high-quality dishes efficiently under time constraints and applies the teachings to aid the modern knowledge worker

Decide that things will be found quicker and be easier to keep Clean if they are kept Tidy.

Marie Kondo's books on learning what material possessions bring you joy, are nice.

Donate and Toss items you don't need taking up space in your Life. Stay on the lookout at Thrift stores for things other people didn't like, but that you do.

My advice is to make changes that let you completely eliminate the need for doing certain things.

It's much easier to be organised when you only need to do one thing a day/week/month instead of 10 different things.

I'd love to hear more about why your current systems are failing, and who you're trying to become!

Take a look at 'lean manufacturing' concept - you'll get a lot of insights about how to get organized. Good starting point - youtube channel of 'FastCap company'.

My personal tips:

- label everything

- 'Mise en place'

- get rid of extra stuff

- 'it's easier/cheaper to fix problem at early stages'

List and categorize and quantize everything. If needed get your self spreadsheet software like Libre Office.

You have to be more specific. What part of your life do you want more organized?

Be more organized there is no magic trick to it.
