Getting Organized - I need help
I sit at my desk, I have a call at my day job, I note down relevant points for the day and then the next day I have no idea where the paper is, or what we discussed the previous day.
I get a ton of ideas, but they remain just that.... ideas, because I am unable to keep track of stuff. Occasionally I get an idea that charges me so much that I take action and that makes me some money.
I decide to take action on something today and it is so common to procrastinate that I just let it go.
My Desk is always cluttered.
But what worries me the most is my mind seems to always be cluttered.
When I finally get down to getting organized, I devise a massive plan and there is always something missing in it and finally the plan just seems too big a plan to invest in.
Here is a glimpse of what happened when I took in a couple of opinions and wanted to start getting organized.:-
I got a notepad to list all my ideas, coz someone said list out ur ideas to ensure you dont lose them.
Then I got another book to list various current projects that I am working on and that will contain what i have done in the project so far and things to do.
Then I got another tracker to list of things to do daily and have to complete them.
Then I began to wonder what happens if I dont do those tasks in a given day, I need to carry them over to the next day in the 3rd tracker. And I have to keep updating book 2 with the current status.
Then I had this doubt, in case I convert an idea to a project and then get another idea related to the product, where do i update it? book 1 or 2?
You see where this is going...I have a problem keeping things simple. I get abstract ideas that can work but have a problem building around the idea and organizing the actual work that goes behind it. This is the motivation for me to get organized but I have come to realise that I can't just be organized in my projects without being organized in my mind. This is why I am here, hoping to get some tips from successful people like yourselves on organizing my mind and in turn my life and finally my work. I did a basic search of the forum and I see techniques like mind mapping etc. But I don't want to over complicate things, I want to start from the very basics.
If anyone here has any advice for me, Be it a very basic tip or a book they would like to recommend etc, It would be highly appreciated.
This lack of being organized seems to be a combination of being Lazy and a somewhat poor memory. This feels like my most major stumbling block at the moment and I want to address this before it is way too late(I am beginning to feel its already kinda late, Im 24 btw).
I have so many other things that I want to improve on. But to me, this seems to be where I want to start.
Thanks in Advance
