How to Become an Organized and On Task Person

Becoming an organized person who stays on task can seem like a daunting task, but with a few simple strategies, it is possible to improve your productivity and reach your goals. I was diagnosed with ADD at age 6. I was medicated until I turned 18. At 18, I began a long journey to become a highly successful, organized, business woman. So here are a list of things that may help you in your journey! 

1. Set clear and specific goals. Having a clear understanding of what you want to achieve can help you stay focused and motivated. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

2. Create a schedule and stick to it. Having a schedule can help you prioritize your tasks and ensure that you are using your time effectively. Be sure to include time for breaks, as well as time for unexpected tasks or interruptions.

3. Use a to-do list. A to-do list can help you keep track of your tasks and ensure that you don't forget anything important. Consider using a digital tool or app that allows you to prioritize and categorize your tasks.

4. Eliminate distractions. Distractions can be a major obstacle to staying on task. Identify the sources of your distractions and take steps to eliminate them, whether it's turning off your phone, closing unnecessary tabs on your computer, or working in a quiet space.

5. Take breaks. Taking regular breaks can help you stay focused and prevent burnout. Consider using the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break.

6. Prioritize self-care. Staying organized and on task requires a lot of mental and emotional energy. Make sure you are taking care of yourself by getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that you enjoy.

By implementing these strategies, you can become an organized person who stays on task and achieves your goals. Remember to be patient with yourself and to celebrate your progress along the way.
