Traits of Organized People

Organized people are more productive in the workplace and at home. Here's how to tell if you have the traits of an organized person. And don't worry if you don't, you can change your habits and become more organized. I personally have many of the traits, but the ones I don't have are ones I'm working on.

Here are 14 traits of organized people by Sarah Klein.

Organized People are:


  1. Goal Orientated: They tend to look at the big picture.
  2. Optimistic: They trust that things will work out.
  3. Conscientious: They do things to make life more efficient by thinking ahead.
  4. Decision Makers: They make a decision and stick with it.
  5. Not always be open to new ideas: Because they tend to stick with the decisions they've made, they will sometimes restrict themselves from being open to new ideas.
  6. Able to let go of perfectionism: The only way to get things done is to not worry about everything being perfect.
  7. Good at: Capture, Calendar, Contain: Make a list, keep track of things on a calendar, organize with baskets, buckets, and containers.
  8. Able to effectively manage their to do lists: Just the habit of making and using to do lists, frees up the brain because you're not wasting mental energy trying to remember things.
  9. Less likely to procrastinate: The reason is they'd rather do something now so that don't have to worry about it later. 
  10. Better prepared: When given a deadline, organized people tend to give themselves enough cushion to get it done even when something unexpected comes up.
  11. Able to ask for help: The delicate, share the load, ask for help. 
  12. Unitaskers: They realize that focusing on getting one task done correctly works much better than multi-tasking.
  13. Able to plan their day according to when they're the most productive: They realize their brain needs a break at 2 pm in the afternoon, therefore they don't plan a creative marketing meeting at that time. 
  14. Mindful of stress: To stay focused and organized, they learn to manage their stress with yoga, mediation, mindfulness, or any other number of activities that allow time to unwind.

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house. Life gets completely crazy at times and it feels like the list of things to do, places to be, people to see never ends. The result: some things get put on the back burner. Like blogging. It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships.  I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...
