Like you, I want less stress and more time, so I found a new system for customer communication, newsletters and announcements. This got me thinking, you may want to check your organizational systems as well. I’m talking about the basket at the front door that holds your mail, a contact list in your phone, or calendar for schedules and reminders.Yes, creating systems can be work on the front end, but on the back end you’ll be less stressed, and save yourself time. Think about how long it takes you to find something. If you can’t find a hammer or a phone number quickly, you have a system problem.
There is a school of thought that the less stuff you have, the easier it is to find things. However, if you have some systems in place, a little organization can go a long way. Here are systems to consider organizing or updating.
Billing systems
Filing systems
Storage systems
Mail systems
Birthday systems
Laundry systems
Banking systems
Communication systems
Repair or maintenance systems
It can be as easy as a key hook by the door. For organization ideas, checkout Pinterest, and for the rest, there is probably an app for that! Just remember, if you don’t take the time, the time takes you!
