further adventures in organization

By: Kenrick Cleveland..

If you're anything like me, you're a very busy person. Not only am I busy with regular things--teaching, family, health maintenance--I'm also in the midst of a moving, requiring an added list of what needs to be done. It's hard to believe how much has to be done in a day and because this is on my mind, I'm inspired to write more on the topic of organization as I believe it has helped keep me on even footing in a time of change.

With change and upheaval (and life in general) comes chaos. I don't have much patience for chaos so in an attempt to minimize its effect on me, I like to shape it into something simple and portable.

If you're busy like me, you have tasks that are both high priority and lower priority--from meetings and deadlines, anniversaries and birthdays, to picking up the dry cleaning and getting the car washed. A most invaluable thing in this high tech wold which I utilize daily is the pencil and paper and the trusted and true 'to do' list. Because the conscious mind can only keep seven plus or minus two pieces of information at any give time, when we transfer some of the less pressing or less time sensitive items onto paper (or into our electronic calendars, if you must), this automatically frees up space for us to concentrate on our present.

After typing in "to do list" into Google a large variety of online options appeared. I prefer the old-fashioned paper and pen method but why not make the most of your Blackberry if you have one and give one of these a try?

One site that seemed especially easy to use is http://www.rememberthemilk.com/. It also has the bonus of being free. Also free is http://roughunderbelly.com/user/login. This one is persuasive for reward oriented people in that it gives you points when you finish something and it makes you charts and graphs of how productive you are as you complete your tasks.

Another tool I've found a pleasure to work with falls under the heading of brainstorming, creativity and organization. It is a product called Thought Office. I used this years ago and somehow lost track of it (ironic?), even forgetting the name, but its usefulness stuck with me.

My feeling is that when we clear up our internal clutter, when we organize our thoughts these are the stepping stones, the small steps to take in order to really accomplish huge things.

'What does this all have to do with persuasion, Kenrick?'

Well, I've said this before and I'm sure to say it again many times. . . once we can persuade ourselves, whether it be something as involved as stopping smoking or losing weight, or something as "easy" as dropping off that bag of clothes at Goodwill that has been sitting in the trunk of your car for three months, when we create an internal environment where we are saying what we do and doing what we say, we are working with our other than conscious minds to achieve amazing results.
