A Better Life

A better life is more than just getting things done and being organized. My thoughts are that I use my organizational ability to make it better.

A good first step is to follow these organized lifestyle tips to get rid of clutter, stop doing things you do not want to do and speed up how fast you do other things.

I find that doing anything that I want to do or need to do requires plenty of time. You need long stretches of time to work on what you need to do and especially what you want to do. Without having long time periods to work, you are really just fooling yourself about making improvements.

In order to get more time I question the need to do anything and everything. I never do things just because they do not take much time or are only an hour. If you are running around chaotically, constantly late and lose things then it should be obvious to you that you have a mess and making improvements will be nearly impossible.

If you fall apart whenever something unexpected happens, then your life will be no good. You need to get to the point where you expect the unexpected and prepare for it. Realize that you need to prepare for the weather, the seasons, for the holidays, for school starting, for vehicle breakdowns and all these other events that happen.

If your house is so cluttered that your marriage suffers then you should get rid of some stuff. If you cannot meet deadlines at work, you will not be promoted and may be in jeopardy of losing your job.

Same thing if you cannot get to work on time.

Being consistently late always reflects poorly on a person. You are just not dependable. You cannot be counted on.

Getting organized will give you the time and freedom you need to do whatever you need to do.

One of the most important things to do with your time is to determine if your marriage is in good shape and be willing to leave a marriage that is bad for you.

A huge problem many people have is that their job is so physically demanding that they have little energy left over to make improvements.

One thing I am using my time for is to examine my life and the painful episodes and traumatic events of my past. Painful episodes and traumatic events need to be examined in order to move on. They are painful to relive, but by thinking through what happened and what you have learned you can move on.

I've had regrets too. Too many regrets to mention like spending too much of my youth in front of the TV rather than spending time with my grandfather.
