13 Habits Of People Who Are Highly Organized

What makes an organized person so different? Why are they successful at almost everything they do? And how the heck do they lead such intense lives without getting fed up with life problems?

Of course, there are more questions than answers…But here’s one thing: you can also become an organized person if you follow these 13 habits.

---

Prioritizing Tasks

Prioritizing tasks is a hallmark habit of highly organized individuals. They have made themselves so mentally strong that they aren’t drowned in the overwhelming sea of to-dos. They know which task to do at first and which to do later.

They don’t always act busy and strategically complete tasks in such a manner that they always stay calm and composed.

If you have difficulty prioritizing tasks, read more books and get ideas. Of course, you can also learn it by experience, but it’s slow and will require trial and error.

Super Effective Time Management

Time management is one of the hardest things to master. No matter how good of a businessman you are, managing time is extremely hard. You only have 24 hours in a day, but you might not have the same task every day.

Organized people are great at managing time. They don’t waste even a minute. Honestly, this is the only way to bend time in your favor. It’s by designing your life around it.

Hence, if you want to become an organized person, the first thing to master is time management.

They Follow Clutter-Free Lifestyle

For highly organized people, living their daily lives is not just about tidying up. Also, it’s not talking about observing a minimalist life, but it’s more about living a life devoid of the unnecessary.

Staying in a clutter-free environment automatically energizes your mind and clears your thoughts. If you’re ready to declutter your surroundings and clear your mental fog, the first thing to do is clean your room and then your workspace.

Try it, and you’ll automatically feel a difference in your life.

Organized People Set Goals & Complete It Not Matter What

How often do you set goals and actually complete them? Congratulations if you achieve every goal you set; you are already more organized than most people.

An organized person strongly believes in setting goals and completing them.

Honestly, it’s hard to make goals and complete them, no matter how many obstacles you face. But, if you love to meet the barriers and get the taste of success, jump right in and challenge yourself with goals.

An Organized Person Create Lists

For some reason, I have experienced that creating a list makes you more organized.

If you have never created a list, buy sticky notes and write a to-do list. Stick it to your workspace, or anywhere you spend your time the most.

As you complete the tasks, check them off. Completing one task at a time affects your subconscious mind positively. It fills you with positivity and encourages you to take on more goals.

Organized people heavily use sticky notes to complete even the most rudimentary tasks. Try it for yourself and see how it changes your life.

They Follow Strict Daily Routine

A strict routine is essential if you want to continue being organized. If you don’t have it, make one routine and try following it. See if your routine makes you lazy or active.

Your routine is not strict enough if you don’t feel any change. Unless you feel resistance, your routine isn’t rigorous enough to keep your life organized.

They Never Stop Learning

What image comes to your mind when you try to imagine a successful person? See? I never told you to imagine a rich person, but you subconsciously did it. Another image is about a person reading.

An organized person never stops learning. They always try to learn something new. They are always on a journey to learn something new.

Unfortunately, the first sign of an unorganized person is that they stop learning and declare that they know everything.

Please don’t make this mistake. In fact, the more you learn, the more organized you become in your life.

Organized People Know How To Communicate

Organized people absolutely know how to communicate. It’s not about sharing your life experiences with your friends; it’s more about conveying your thoughts.

Organized people are effective at what they deliver. Though I won’t say that all organized people talk less, one common thing is that they speak to the point and have a clear-cut motive.

Hence, if you want to be organized, this is one thing you must embrace in your life.

Highly Organized People Don’t Hesitate To Delegate

Delegation is the secret of every organized person. They are experts at handing the right people their best-suited jobs. In fact, Steve Jobs was one of the most notable businessmen who knew how to delegate.

Organized people strictly follow the 80/20 principle. They focus on the 20% and let people handle the 80% that may or may not need his constant attention.

You can delegate some tasks to someone if you’re working on something important. But here’s one thing about delegation: You need to delegate people you trust and know they are good at their jobs.

They Let Go Easily

Letting go of an emotion or anything that causes obstacles is not easy. It needs a lot of courage and mental prowess to let go.

And you know what? That’s what makes an organized person different from most. They have mastered the art of letting go of an emotion, or anything for that matter. They know themselves better than anyone.

If you want to embrace one habit to change your life, let that be this one. Learn to let go.

They Heavily Use Productivity Tools

Handling life obstacles is pretty similar to a growing tree. When the tree is small, it’s easy to handle it, but things change drastically when the same tree grows big. 

Something similar happens in real life with people who take action to organize their lives. That’s when productivity tools come in handy. 

Productivity tools can really help you make your life easy. Organized people don’t shy away from using productivity tools to make their lives effortless. 

Organized People Keep Things Simple

Growing up, I thought that millionaires and billionaires must have such complex life. How they would fill their house with objects they loved.

But as I grew up and learned more about these billionaires, I found a common trait. Most of these millionaires and billionaires lead a relatively simple life. They might have millions in their bank account, but almost everything about them is simple.

And this is what I have personally seen in organized people. They keep things simple either in their personal life or their work life. They abhor complexity and strive to keep things simple.

They Don’t Waste Anything

One thing I’ve seen in every organized person is that no matter what, they don’t waste anything. Doesn’t matter what it is. They try to use everything till the final piece.

Honestly, this is one habit that most people should embrace. Organized people don’t just hate wasting time; they don’t waste anything they have.

So, don’t waste anything. If you’re a compulsive buyer, try to divert your attention and contemplate whether you should really buy that thing. Initially, you may feel resistance, but you’ll feel better with regular practice.

Sharing is Gratitude...
