A method to organize your life in 2021

 Hello readers and Happy New Year!

What's your 2021 like? I hope you've had a good start!


I have been a diary writer lover since I was a child who used to write in personal diaries, it is a way to express my feelings, to clarify ideas and a way to keep memories forever. 


    Even as an adult I continue to write about my feelings, about how to solve certain situations such as work change or simply to clarify my mind.

    If I have learned something very important during this last 2020, it was writing about everything: 

  • Things that are hurting me.
  • Organize my economy. 
  • The clothes I have, and how many times have I worn them.
  • Everything that'll help me improve my life.

    A lot of years ago, I didn't write about all these things, I didn't even use an agenda so my daily routine was different depending on my mood, and to be honest, discipline isn't one of my best friends, so I got into trouble constantly, felt like it was a disaster and my life was so hard that I couldn't get anything.


    But it's changed since I started therapy. I have gone to different therapies, some of them helped me and others gave me some advice like these to clear my mind and organize my life.

    So in the first post of 2021 I will tell you how I will organize my life month by month to reach my goals.


    First, organize your life according to the categories: economy, family, home... This depends on every person, for example, I'm currently studying, but at the same time I look for a job, so on my list of categories I added studies and work.


As an example, there's my personal list:

  • Health
  • Economics
  • Work
  • Education
  • Matrimony
  • Family
  • Friends
  • Free time
  • Personal Growth
  • Home

    The organization is personal so that you can choose parts of your life you need to improve or change.



    For example, I like to distinguish between the relationship with my husband and that of my family, it is not the same so I can see the problems necessary to be solved in each area.


    Here comes the hardest part: be completely honest with yourself to analyse each area. If you're not used to this kind of self-knowledge, you can become a list of good and bad things in every area.

    

    So, based on this first part it is time to think about how you can improve the bad things and keep the right ones.


I like writing goals to accomplish these things, for example:


"Personal growth:

I want to improve my level of English, write better posts and to get a job this summer.

The objectives to achieve a good level of English are therefore:

Listen to a podcast or watch a YouTube video in English.

Take an hour a day, when I'm having breakfast or before bedtime, to read my book in English.

I'll send a weekly e-mail to my friend PenPal so she can help me think and write in English."


    The more you do this exercise the easier it will be to write about it, so I do this exercise monthly.


    This was the first part, I recommend doing it on the first Saturday or Sunday of the month, take a moment to prepare a tea, play relaxing music and then calmly write about all these feelings.


    And for the second part, I do it on the last weekend of the month, to analyze what was good, the things I learned and everything I need to change to get a balance in my life.


If you prefer a visual method, there's one called Life Wheel. 


Life Wheel from the website of MINIMALISM

    It is a circle where you can write all these aspects, each piece of the circle is divided into ten squares and you have to rate from 0 very bad to 10 very good as this aspect of your life is happening.


If you would like to know more about this method, please visit the MINIMALISM post


I added one last thing to this organization method and it's Google Calendar.


    Every goal I want to achieve, every action is necessary to do, I add a date that must be made so that this is the way you can involve with yourself to finish or make all these ideas.


    This is one of the methods that I'm going to use this 2021 to organize my life and achieve my goals.


Do you know any other methods? Tell us about it!


I hope you enjoyed this post, I am so grateful to Beewriter for their help in writing it in English.


Regards,

Living with technologies

  Hello readers! Winter is not coming, winter has arrived and has come like a hurricane… Brrr…! What’s the topic of the day? Life with technology. Before I met my husband I was like a boomer with technology, even for many years I used old and unfashioned mobiles without Whatsapp (Oh dude, that were really good times!). I didn’t know about smartwatches or personal assistants like Alexa. The only thing I own was an iPad and it was really useful because I bought it when I was living in Madrid and then moved to Ireland, so I kept in touch with my family through this device. And a few months of our marriage came to our house the first Alexa. Alexa is a voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service, you can ask it orders like turn the lights on or to listen to music apart of a lot of things. This device changed the perception of new technologies I used to have, as I thought the robots will dominate the world and we will live like in the Sci-Fi films where humans are poor slaves of

A little bit of Irish stories and Ireland history

Hello readers, if is someone reading this! How is going your quarantine time? Mine is not as productive as I’ve imagined, but some days are better than others, so let’s enjoy the good days. Today I haven’t done too much but I have watched a lot of contents, first of all let me explain that I love watching documentaries and more over to listen to podcasts, this last is something new for me, actually I began to listen to podcasts about one and half year ago. My favourite topics are crime stories, reviews and information about films and history. A few days ago I listened to a podcast about the arrival of the Irish to America, a podcast made by The Bowery Boys who I highly recommend to listen to! I lived in Ireland for a year and was an awful year, this experience was a little bit traumatic for me but more traumatic was to come back to Spain, I had learnt so much from the Irish that my first months in Spain were really hard to adapt to our culture and behaviour, specially about how to be a
