Everything must have its EXACT place!

I’ve always known that it’s best if important things have their own place, passports, tools and so on. What I’ve only recently realised is that really everything should have an exact place, I mean not just on a particular shelf but a precise spot on that shelf. It may seem rather boorish to be so clinical but the alternative is wasted time searching with attendant frustration. I have probably wasted months of my life looking for keys, erasers, flashlights, sports equipment, worse I have probably abandoned projects or ventures simply because I couldn’t find a vital document.

Can you pass the following test? Can you get up now and find your keys, wallet, camera, flashlight and passport with your eyes SHUT?

The other advantage of things having their own exact place is that you will realize much more quickly that an item has gone missing.

A Tool to Beat Procrastination and Time Wasting

A trusted colleague enthusiastically recommended a computer program
called Action Enforcer. It is a way of setting up a set of daily task
timers. I have even set a timer to write this post. I use it when
I have a tricky or tedious task to complete, others plan their
whole day even using it to program their breaks. Procrastinating
friends and colleagues have been boasting of suddenly being able to manage their time and get through their schedule, of feeling on top of things!

Also at the end of your day you can see where your time was spent.
. I set a timer for 30 minutes of paperwork, then 30 minutes of report writing etc. It is very simple to use; why it works so well is still a bit of a
mystery but I think it’s just your pride you don’t want the alarm
to ring before you’ve finished the task!
