Everyone feels stressed out once in awhile, and everyone can agree that being stressed out is not the most enjoyable experience. Experts suggest cleaning your desk to help relieve your stress; getting your desk in order shows you that you have control over your life, and it can help you decide how to organize the other aspects in your life. But why stop at your desk? Bringing more organization into your life will help keep unwanted stress away.
Clean out your car every time you stop to get gas. Taking a few minutes to throw away trash while your car is filling up will keep your vehicle spick and span, plus it will be easier to drive without all that garbage around your feet.
Set aside a few minutes every day or week to go through your email and delete junk emails and emails you no longer need. It only takes a few seconds to request to stop getting emails from certain Web sites, and this can help keep your inbox easier to manage.
Get a filing cabinet or designate a special place for your important documents. It is very important to always know where your documents are, such as birth certificates, deeds, Wisconsin insurance paperwork, medical records, and so on. It is also a good idea to make copies of your most important documents and store them in another location, such as a safety deposit box.
Utilize technology to help you stay organized. Your phone, computer, and email program probably have calendars that you can use to organize your to-do lists. There are also apps for smart phones and tablets that you can use to help you stay organized.
Getting your life more organized may be a stressful task in itself, but it will be worth it in the end. You are only a few short steps away from lowering your stress level.
