Get Organized Pittsburgh

As schedules change when we switch from Spring to Summer it is easy to MISS things that seem all new in your schedule. It is really helpful to identify what are “standing appointments” in your day/week. Chunking your schedule into morning, afternnon and evening and then putting in repeating appointments helps really helps to build habits. Making these appointments with your self and others really helps even the most “routine resistant” people start to gain control over their time.

As “non-routine” appointments come up, make some rules about thos too. For instance, standardize they way you make appointments for things like doctors or personal care. If you know that each type of appointment is always in the morning or on a certain day and not random, they will be easier to remember.

Using reminders that can be life saving. It might seem like more work to put these systems in place, but it frees up mental space and reduces stress in the long run.

So be ready for that summer switch with a plan to make those changes more routine.
