Organization is a key characteristic for everyone in these highly dynamic days, especially when in London. However, it is not easy to be organized. In these article I will show you the first five easy steps for getting organized really quick.

Sort and categorize. Diving into a sea of papers is really unpleasant and time-consuming. I strongly advise you to take a paper and make a list of all your papers. I think there should be no more than five main categories in your list. Go to your working area and take all the documents out of your desk. Lay them on the floor and start sorting them into several main categories. If you can't put an item under a category, you probably do not need that item. Do not hesitate to quickly get rid of all the unneeded stuff. You will be amazed by the free space available after the sort. Now you will have much more space for the important documents and papers.

Notes. Notes are powerful organization weapons. There is an old proverb that says that smart people write down things on a paper, while stupid ones try to remember the things. According to me, sticky notes are compulsory for everybody who works in front of a computer. I personally often stick my whole monitor with sticky notes. In these modern days, there are many various ways to write important stuff down. Smart-phones and tablets are preferred by many people for saving important information. I recommend you to write down any idea that comes to your mind. I assure you that your productivity and performance will get better.

Concentrate. Concentration greatly helps developing your organization skills. Concentration is strongly connected with your physical and mental condition. Make sure you eat well. You need energy for your daily activities. Note that green leaves vegetables keep energy in your body for longer time than any other food. Avoid distractions as well. If you have an important task to do, I advise you not to listen to music while working. However, if you just can not get concentrated, I advise you to get out to take a deep fresh breath. That will surely work. Another really useful tip is never to start working on several projects at one time. This often leads to distractions and in most of the cases the things get tangled in the end. So, be sure to do one thing at a time.

Clean around. Clean and organized environment is essential for your performance. Working in a clean and cosy place is much admired by most of the people. Moreover, dirty places are not very healthy. For example, dusty places are bad for everyone. Especially for people with respiratory problems, like asthma. You need to adopt at least the habit for collecting dust from all the surfaces around. It is definitely not a big deal and I strongly advise you to take fifteen minutes a day for sweeping your desk. Just take a damp cloth and a multi-purpose cleaning spray. It does not require much effort, but does a great job for having your place clean and tidy. Of course, sometimes you may need professional cleaning services for stubborn stains.

Prioritize. It is really important to prioritize your tasks. People often have to deal with several tasks with different difficulty level. I advise you to do more difficult tasks early in the morning. It is proved that your brain is fresher in the morning, so you should definitely do the hardest things in the morning.
