How I stay organised

Let me be the first to say I am a major list maker. I will literally make a list for all my lists to make sure I don't forget any. It goes that far! Today I wanted to share something a little different with the world: How I stay organised! 

Apps

In this day and age, we have so many devices with built in schedules and calendars that most of the time, there is no need to carry around a hefty diary. Though I still do! I use all of these to my advantage though, and I like to keep things separate from one another, it just makes my schedule look more clean. It also means that I have so many different diaries, I can make a note of things wherever I am in the world! 

The built in calendar on any smartphone is a brilliant little device to use. I use my Iphone to keep track of peoples birthdays and make note of any friends I've planned to meet with throughout the week. That way, I can always keep check of my more personal plans when I'm out and about or on the go. I also like using the 'Reminders' app on my phone to keep track of everything I need to do that day. It's so convenient because you can just simply tick something off once you've completed it. I told you, I like lists! 

Diary

I also have a diary that I keep on my desk, which is used purely for my blogging tasks. I plan all my blog posts ahead of time, and I set specific days throughout the week in order to take time to write my posts, as well as take the pictures for them. I've somehow got to the stage where I'm now writing two-three weeks in advanced, which makes me feel so much better about blogging. I really suggest you take the time to sit and schedule a few posts, or even have a few saved for if you're ever ill or on holiday. It's nice knowing you don't have to stress about hitting a deadline for a blog post. Just to make me even more list-crazy, I've recently ordered yet another diary to stay organised when my business opens next month!

Sticky Notes

Yes! If all of that organisation wasn't enough, the last thing I use, which is usually to keep track of blogging and emailing is the cute little sticky note app on my computer. I don't have a Mac, I couldn't afford to follow the trend, so I'm not sure if this is on there too (sorry!). It literally is an app that lets you stick Post-it notes all over your computer desktop. It helps me stay focused so I don't venture off and find myself reading a random blog about cereal whilst I should be writing my own post. Yano what I mean?
