Hey, hi, hello and welcome back to my little corner of the internet, a place where we drink comical amounts of coffee and discuss how we can make our lives just a bit better!

Also... WELCOME TO BLOGTOBER DAY 15!

If you just popped by, Blogtober is a series that I started on my blog, where I post daily content for the

WHOLE MONTH OF OCTOBER

Going along with my yesterday's post, I thought of another easy-to-read list with my top 5 organizational skills that have also helped me get my shit together! While my time management post was more about mindset, this post will cover things being organized.

Without further ado, let's jump into the list:

1. Get buttloads of boxes

One thing that helped me organize my belongings is putting them in different boxes. So now I have my office supply box, my tech box, my underwear box, my "miscellaneous things from the kitchen which I am not sure how to use" box.

2. Labels. Labels everywhere.

Now that you got boxes, trust me on this one and put 2 labels on it! One goes on the front, with the category. The other one can be put on the lid or on the side, and on that label you list contents of the box. You do not want to be rummaging through the whole box, only to realize that your blue hat is not in the "blue things" box but in the "winter clothes" box (this was just a silly example)

3. Get a designated place for everything

Give a home to all of your things. Books should go on the bookshelf, your work materials should go in your desk. Keep the things in their homes. And, when you respectfully take the thing out for a dinner and a drink, be a decent person and bring it back home- in other words "you touch it, you put it back''

4. Have days cut out just for maintenance

Get a special day in the week when you can get back on track with your belongings. This is the day when, ideally, you don't have any school or work to do, and you can dedicate yourself to organizing your belongings and your mind. This is the day when you do laundry, reorganize some of the boxes, and put anything that's out of place back, as well as vacuuming and dusting and the whole shebang

5. Declutter.
Try to get rid of anything that may not serve you any purpose. If it is sentimental, I get it, I am a big sucker for that too. Try to lower it to one box that you get to keep.

Donate, sell, give as a gift if it's a usable thing. If it is not, recycle it properly as to lower the waste we produce!

There it is guys, my top 5 organization tips! Be sure to check out my time management tips as well, and let me know down bellow what things do you do that help you stay on top of your game!

WHOLE MONTH OF OCTOBER

Today I wanted to make an easy-to-read list of time management skills that have helped me tremendously in getting my shit together.

Time management is a big, if not the biggest part of getting your shit in one place, as without it, well... You kind of don't have time.

So, for all my newbies out there, peeps who want to get their shit together but don't know where to start, the list continues right down bellow!

1. Get a planner.

Use the planner to write everything that is happening in your life down, and organize it in priority categories!

2. Set deadlines

If you give yourself 30 days to clean your house, that is exactly how long it will take you to do it. Fun fact- give yourself 3 hours and the same thing happens. Give yourself constant deadlines, which will serve to guide you through your day!

3. Learn to say no

Sometimes, we're faced with situations in which we aren't necessarily happy. The worst is when you know that there was something else you wanted to do, but you didn't want to turn out to be a jackass. Learn to say no, and if you do it in a polite way, nobody will be upset.

4. Routinize, routinize, routinize

Work on getting some routines into your daily schedule, to get certain things out of your way, such as reading, working out, journaling, cleaning, etc. When you routinize things, they become easy, like second nature, and that way you will be able to focus on other things.

5. You touch it, you put it back

I can't tell you how many hours in my life I had spent on just putting things back in their place. It's boring, and especially tedious if you leave it all for at the end of the day, or even longer.

Get into the habit of putting things back in place. It will save you time and energy that you can invest into something much more important

There we go guys, my top 5 time management tips that have helped me get my shit together! What is on your top 5 time management list? Did I miss out something important?
