how to be more organised everyday

8th February 2016
Life has no manual and sometimes you’ve just got to figure stuff out for yourself. Wherever I go, whatever I’m doing I like to absorb the never ending flow of knowledge, I don’t ever want to stop learning from those around me. From note taking techniques to always keeping my diary up to date, I’ve developed an process for organisation that serves me ever so well.   [lem_title]Plan Life[/lem_title] Having a plan of action for each day, week & month is incredible important for me. I need structure and a fair bit of certainty to be able to be as proactive as possible with each task, collaboration or meeting that comes my way so I plan for it. I bought myself a smart little agenda from Louis Vuitton to kick off 2016 with and I use it as my Life/Blog/Everything planner. Blog post ideas that catch me by surprise or that dinner date with my bestfriend that is long over due, it all goes in there and I always know whats ahead.   [lem_title]Be Proactive[/lem_title] If you’ve made a plan for the day then you know what needs to be done. As hard as it is to ignore whats going on in the world, online or on Netflix, put it all to one side and focus. I set myself realistic goals for each day depending on what area I’m focusing on. If I’m at home shooting blog posts I aim for 3 to be shot and edited for the week a head and if all goes to plan, these days I have time to film a video or two as well. Being proactive means your work load doesn’t build up and send your spiralling into disorganisation, so staying on top of things will really help.   [lem_title]Everything Has it’s place[/lem_title] […]

[lem_title]Plan Life[/lem_title]

Having a plan of action for each day, week & month is incredible important for me. I need structure and a fair bit of certainty to be able to be as proactive as possible with each task, collaboration or meeting that comes my way so I plan for it. I bought myself a smart little agenda from Louis Vuitton to kick off 2016 with and I use it as my Life/Blog/Everything planner. Blog post ideas that catch me by surprise or that dinner date with my bestfriend that is long over due, it all goes in there and I always know whats ahead.

 

[lem_title]Be Proactive[/lem_title]

If you’ve made a plan for the day then you know what needs to be done. As hard as it is to ignore whats going on in the world, online or on Netflix, put it all to one side and focus. I set myself realistic goals for each day depending on what area I’m focusing on. If I’m at home shooting blog posts I aim for 3 to be shot and edited for the week a head and if all goes to plan, these days I have time to film a video or two as well. Being proactive means your work load doesn’t build up and send your spiralling into disorganisation, so staying on top of things will really help.

 

[lem_title]Everything Has it’s place[/lem_title]

This is one of the many things that Ali has taught me in our time together. He really is the most organised person when it comes to knowing where things are because everything has it’s place, where as I was always losing keys, purses and god knows what else and to be perfectly honest when I’ve had a stressful day I still do. But when I’m on the ball I know exactly where everything is and it really does enable me to be so much more efficient with my time. Handbag packed with the essentials, favourite coat where I left it and keys where they should be.

 

[lem_title]Declutter[/lem_title]

One thing I am extremely good at if I do say so myself, is decluttering. It drives me crazy if my house feels cluttered, messy and claustrophobic. We bought the house that we could when Ali and I moved in together two years ago now  but we made it the best that it could be, ensuring it feels as light and airy as possible. This means good storage is essential to hide away the unsightly. But whether it’s an over flowing lipstick draw or one too many coats, I am ruthless in my quest for a bright and breezy home. This also plays a huge factor in being organised though, because less clutter means less time spent finding things and you are less likely to lose things in the first place.

 

[lem_title]Technology[/lem_title]

Technology makes my life a whole lot easier as well. Smart phones & watches have burst into our lives with push notifications and alerts for everything as well as keeping me connected when I’m not in my office. I can dictate e-mails, reply to comments, write blog posts on my wrist or on my phone meaning I’m always working efficiently wherever I am. I am the kind of person who embraces every technological innovation with open arms and waits with baited breath to experience first hand the impact it will have on my working life.

 

I’m always aiming to improve my efficiency and organisation so I would love to know your own tips and tricks for always being proactive.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
