Working efficiently, being organized

Qex SG

Dear ppl,

can anyone share some ideas on how to work efficiently and to be organized? I am a very disorganized person from young, be it my bedroom, my crumpled tutorial to be submitted.....and it is a bane to my career as I am now feeling the heat.

How do u guys go about organizing your stuffs? Like given a task, you could break it down into different small pieces before tackling them?
How do you ...like actually take the pains to file up all lecture notes, binding them nicely...stuffs like such? Planning before tackling a project?

Oh man.....I really need some advice man, my colleague kena reprimanded by the boss because of my tardiness in my work. I felt so guilty even after apologizing to her.

Organizing things can be quite therapeutic for me, because they're pretty brainless tasks. I just go about doing them like an automaton programmed to do repetitive tasks while listening to some music or watching the television.

I have to be organized because I can't get down to work when things are messy (although eventually everything ends up in a mess again hahahahaha).

Just categorize your belongings and place them orderly around your room, and always put things back to where you took them from. Even if you don't like to do this, at least try to make an effort to tidy up a little once a week instead of doing it once a year when they've piled up into one stinky mountain pile. Very Happy

I am a disorganized person and strangely, I work best disorganized.

Organizing usually takes 30 minutes and messing everything as I work takes 30 seconds anyway.

And I read somewhere different people work differently. There are people who are like me, who thrive on mess.

really organising issues or not being able to tackle a problem systematically?
Well organised is not about the neatness and tidiness on your table. It's about knowing where your stuff are and getting it when required. Your table can look untidy but if u can find what u need and know they are there then I would say u are organised too.
