This week was the start of several major group projects. I
also started my internship at a local non-profit organization. With so many
things going on how do I not let it stress me out? Well, organization.
In the past organization was not my strongest skill. Now, I
have to make it. I’ve always tried to keep a planner up-to-date but after a
couple of weeks I wouldn’t update it. Thankfully with technology it is ways to
sync appointments, meetings, emails, etc. with your computer and phone.
Yes, regular planners are helpful but someone like me, who forgets
to carry it around, it’s best to find something to me. I find it easier to set
up asks on my computer and then let it sync with my Google account and phone. I
know that I carry my phone around, therefore I won’t forget what’s due tomorrow
or what tests are coming up.
Saves Time
Leaving everything to the last minute is stressful enough
but also dealing with a huge paperwork on your desk. Using folders or lists for
different classes or projects helps you keep track of what’s what. You also
won’t confuse what you need to do today with what’s due next week.
Reduces Stress
There will be times when everything will get overwhelming
and organization is one thing that will make you feel like you can accomplish
these tasks. No need to get anxious about the million of things you need to
accomplish instead organize what’s more important.
Customer Service
This type of organization will also help when applying it to
other jobs. If you have hundred of tweets or messages to respond to, it’s easy
to organize these messages by relevancy and importance. Keeping a your brand’s
reputation with customers help future business.
Job Interviews
Another reason to be organized is that it impresses
employers. In interviews I get compliments about how well my portfolio is organized.
It shows them you can be prepared.
And for many more reasons, organization is important. It’s
something I’m certainly working on.
