    This helped me so much. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a lot of responsibilities that I use to be good at organizing but after some chaotic life events, it’s really hard. Any suggestions on how to organize a chaotic life with many tasks and responsibilities from each category? For example: working a job, 3 businesses, managing caregiving appointments, managing family bills, managing self and family appointments, etc. project folders help but is there a way to step this up even more for one that needs to see their daily tasks from each categories? I hope I explained this ok.

    • @Destiny14615
      @Destiny14615 11 днів тому

      I’m thinking it would be good to have a notebook that I use for each category of life somehow to manage the projects and attach the project folders to each category and then write to do lists in one section for my daily to dos in general, then brain dumps another etc.. I just need feedback on how to put this together to be efficient or see if anyone created anything like this already.

      I am very much in the same boat. I have a very busy job as a high school assistant principal, a side job as a TPA grader, I have my home needs, family needs, and 2 small business needs. I have found that the checklists on to p of the project folders help tremendously. I know exactly what I need to do for each project and more importantly, where I left off. Every night, I organize the most important (priority ones). That way, the next day I only focus on the top 3 to 5. If you would like, check out these 2 videos that might help also: ua-cam.com/video/vhQJg4sZjF8/v-deo.htmlsi=P6txqf7tg8HzGFpQ ua-cam.com/video/Jk-09tnHGqU/v-deo.htmlsi=u_LdC2xOysyt-pt-

      I normally stop working about 4 or 5 pm on Sunday evenings so I can sit and watch TV with the family, have a barbecue, sit in my backyard and read while listening to 80s music, S'mores, etc. I basically schedule fun into my week because there is just so much I need and want to do. So I do fun and relaxing things throughout the week, but I don't overdo them. I make sure I make time for everything by scheduling things - even fun things.

      @efficiencyandorganization 3 місяці тому

      Yes, I have 2 completely separate checking accounts (in fact, 2 completely separate banks) for each of my small businesses. I do not want the IRS or my state tax board to say that I am comingling funds, income, expenses, etc. It's important to keep all bookkeeping separate for each business.
