GETTIN’ IT DONE: ORGANIZE IT

12/12/2016

ORGANIZE IT

You’ve just completed a BRAIN DUMP, all your thoughts are on the paper instead of your mind, and boy that feels good, right? (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then you need to click here, sort that situation out first and then come back!) While it would be awesome if some magical fairy would come along and take care of all the things we need to do, we can’t wait around all day waiting for this to happen! So it’s time to organize our BRAIN DUMP into manageable sections.

First, I generally like to start with specific categories and assign each item to it by writing it below and scratching it off my BRAIN DUMP with a different colour. It’s almost therapeutic putting these items in their spots and then scratching them off! Some of the categories that I use most frequently are:

  • BIZ
  • FTJ (Full-time job)
  • HOME
  • HEALTH & PERSONAL
  • SOCIAL (Let’s be real here… this one is just for show unless hanging out with my dog counts as being social!?)
  • MISC

If the items listed in each of these categories are tasks, then I’ll also include a rough estimate of how long it will take me. Example:

BIZ Review Blog post- 30 minutes

Skype Call- 8pm- 1 hour

Prepare client assignment with meeting with ND- 1 hour

FTJ Prepare for MTL next week business- 2 hours

Micro Market Meeting- Thursday 2 pm

Brainstorm MM Plan of action- 1 hour

New MTL business- 10 business days for completion

Toronto new business plan

Home Vacuum house – 45 minutes

Clean Kitchen – 30 minutes

Fold laundry & put away – 45 minutes

Grocery shopping- 2 hours

Health & Personal HITT training- 30 minutes

Meal prep for the week

Social Lunch with KG -1pm- Sakura 1.5 hours
Misc

By doing this, I have a few organized lists of things that need to be remembered, reviewed or completed and I can easily add things to these lists, as I need to. Then I make specific headings for when these items need to be scheduled and assign them to their heading with any other information required:

  • Today
  • This week
  • Coming up
  • In the future

The whole thing looks a little something like this:

Today This Week Coming Up In the Future
Review blog post- 30 mins Micro Market meeting Thursday 2 pm New MTL Business – 10 business days Toronto New Business
Prepare for next week MTL business- 2 hours Brainstorm MM plan of action- 1 hr Prepare Client Assignment for meeting May 27th with ND – 1 hour
Skype Call at 8 pm.
Lunch with KG, 1 pm Sakura.
HITT Training-45mins

By doing this, I can easily structure my day around everything I need to accomplish. I find this works especially well for me when I have to work around others schedules as well!

The truth is you’re not quite finished yet, but if you need to take a break I understand. Take 5 and then head over here to the last step in the GETTIN’ IT DONE process: BLOCK IT OUT. But first, snap me a pic and connect with me using the #GettinItDoneBizStyle tag.

Chat Soon,

I know, I know.. that's not really breaking news.. I know, I know.. that's not really breaking news... It's actually something people dread talking about. 

Everyone assumes they have lots of time to worry about it later, but life can be unpredictable. ⏳

We can't change the inevitable, but we can ensure that when tragedy strikes, money won't be an additional issue. 

I promise you, insurance talk doesn't need to be scary! :) 

If you're unsure what kind of coverage you have in place, or have questions about it in general let's set up a time to chat! 

P.s My services are free of charge!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a little int It’s been a while since I’ve done a little intro post. 

So, hey! I’m Amanda-Marie, or AMS, or AmandaMarieBiz. 

I’m a thirty-something, Kingston local who loves black coffee, cool mornings and a good book. 

A few other facts:

I’ve been to every province in the country except PEI. 

When I was 8 I recorded an album with a kids choir called Zucchini Alley - 🎵

I live gluten & dairy free due to Hashimoto’s - Have any good recipes? Send them my way!! 

I’m a financial agent, which I know for some of you sounds boring but I love it! I have the opportunity to provide education & resources to all Canadians. We make sure that no family is left behind. 

I run a networking group for women professionals in the YGK called The Bliss Network Exchange. We have the BEST members. 

Share with me something about yourself in the comments below!

We have a huge mission of no family left behind. I We have a huge mission of no family left behind.
In order to make that happen, we need more people who want to help people. 

If you’re open to new opportunities, let’s chat & see if we’re a good fit!
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go speak A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go speak to a group of incredible students at SLC. 

Together they formed the SLC Investing and Trading Club which is a student run organization focused on financial literacy! 

I waked them through the basic and yet fundamental principles we support everyday Canadian’s with.  Many were shocked at how much they learned and how simple it can be. 

Money and finances don’t have to be a scary topic! In fact it can be quite freeing knowing you have the right plan in place to protect yourself and your family. 

I’m so grateful that I was asked to chat with this group and even more grateful that I get to run a business that supports people in this way every single day. 🖤
