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,

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...

Back to school

Hello readers, it’s been a long time since the last time I wrote a post but here I am again. Let me tell you one of the reasons I’ve decided to write again, maybe it would help you! A few months ago I had a job interview and one of the requirements was to have good English spoken and written, fortunately, I had this modest blog so I could show my skills. This had been the first time I had been asked for it! So I’m proud to write in English although sometimes I don’t know what to write about. So there is a thing I learned: show how good is your English even if you’re not a great writer! I am a student from a month ago, after the job interview I wrote before I didn’t get that job (not for my English but it was for other reasons) and unfortunately, I lost my job for a cyber attack to the company (yes, this is for another post!) so I decided to try to study again. As an adult student, I’ve found lots of difficulties, the first one is to study every day, our brain is a  big muscle and i...

Back to the quarantine

Hello readers, how is going your quarantine? Today is the stage 2 in my country! So we can go everywhere, visit our friends and family, ride our motorbikes, take long walks with our dogs… Things we used to do daily and were boring but now are just amazing activities to do! I haven’t written for a week at the reason was I began to work again, well, was my first day after two months in the company, considering that I’ve been two long months in quarantine at home.  This first week of work and of “real life” has been difficult for me, I couldn’t imagine how life would be after the quarantine, even I didn’t considered I could have some trauma as it was this: I had a trauma, I was afraid of strangers, the virus, the environment, everything scared me because I was as confused as all my workmates. We use PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that covers almost all our body, even the workers who aren’t directly in touch with the customers, but the most annoying PPE was the mask, I couldn’t im...
