Introduction:
Being organised is often seen as a desirable trait, but not everyone is naturally inclined towards it. In this podcast episode, Emma Cossey shares her personal experience of being naturally disorganised and provides valuable tips for staying organised, even for those who struggle with it. From outsourcing to automations, reducing steps, and setting realistic expectations, these tips can help anyone create a more organised and efficient lifestyle.
Summary of Main Points:
1. Outsourcing: The speaker emphasises the benefits of outsourcing tasks that are challenging to stay organised with. This can include hiring a bookkeeper or a cleaner, or even participating in free body doubling sessions to stay on track.
2. Automations: Utilising automation tools can significantly simplify and streamline various processes. From scheduling meetings and payments to social media management, automation tools like Dubsado, make.com, and repurpose.io can save time and reduce stress.
3. Reduce Steps: Simplifying tasks and processes is key to maintaining organisation. By identifying and eliminating unnecessary steps, one can make their workflow more efficient. This applies to client onboarding, file organisation, and even decluttering both digitally and physically.
4. Realistic Expectations: It is crucial to define what organisation means to you personally, rather than comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s version of organisation is unique, and it is essential to set realistic expectations based on individual circumstances and capabilities.
