Time Management Tools:
Write a daily priority task list. Start each day with the first task on the list and do it until completed. Do only one task at a time. Group similar tasks together. Delegate generously and effectively. Screen calls and schedule telephone time for returning calls. Summarize and be brief with reports. Stick with a strict meeting agenda.

Tips for Organizing:
Organizing can be an overwhelming process, so set small goals and accomplish them one by one
- Do one corner at a time and keep it organized until the room is completely organized.
- Analyze what you do organize well and adapt the same strategy to other areas which need organizing.
- Review how you sort or classify information. Choose what is logical for you to facilitate retrieval of the information.
- Be ruthless and get rid of items you do not use. Donate or sell items. If it is clothing and you haven't worn it in a year, chances are you won't, donate it.
Organized people abide by one main rule which is:
Find a place for everything and put everything in it's place.
- It is easier to put things back right after you use it then to wait. If you wait the piles become overwhelming.
- Use baskets and containers to store loose items. Plastic containers which allow you to see your items are very helpful.
- Open shelves and organizers are great if you organize visually.
