The 25 habits of a highly organised person

We all know someone in our lives who is super-organised - they never miss a deadline, they are always on top of tasks, they don't seem frazzled by life's unexpected events.

They have turned a variety of tools and systems in their lives into daily habits, which then allows them to approach their day with greater efficiency, productivity and focus.

Have you heard yourself saying 'I just don't have enough time' or 'I wish I had more time' more often than you'd like to admit? I know I have!

If you don't have a plan for how you're going to tackle them, you'll either be confused about which tasks are the real priorities and spend all your time on the little jobs that are not that important, or you'll get totally overwhelmed and do nothing. A simple weekly planning and scheduling session will help you to use your time more effectively, be more productive and achieve your goals.
