Just looking for tips as to how you organize your life, gaming or not.

Prioritize for me. What needs to be done first and whats more important and do things in that order. Diaries as well, for keeping track and setting targets.

I don't. I take things how they come. True, my life is one big chaos, but I like it that way. There are a few things which I try to be organized with, like mature things in life .

Consult the misses. FWIW I cleaned my closet this morning.

I think to myself "look at this mess! I'm no better than an animal!"

And then I remember that beasts don't have desks or things to throw on them when they get home. Or emotional problems to sort through. Or days to plan. No interviews to prepare for or dates to get ready for or inlaws to brace themselves for.

And then I make something to eat.

Don't drink.

When sober I remember everything, file everything, organise everything, clean everything, iron everything creased and sew everything ripped.

When drunk I gak my pants and sleep in the shed.

Prioritise then try to stick to whatever plan you make leaving enough time for each task for room in the case of any delays.

Unfortunately I had to do a course on project management at one point...

I can't, it's too hard.

I organise by taking deadlines, and penning in the actions I need to take by the deadlines as "Todo" the day before.

You organize by first prioritizing.

What is most important to you? You balance that with what is urgent. What is urgent isn't neccessarily important, and vice versa.

Paying my house mortgage is important as I like living in my house. As are paying my other bills. But it isn't so urgent that I have to sit down every night and go through my bills. I can go through them once a week and stay ahead.

What is this 'organized' that people keep going on about? It is intriguing and I would like to know more.

My calendar is mandatory. I can't remember anything without it. Also, my girlfriend has an awesome memory (both a good and bad thing ), so I rely on her a lot too.

I've got a wife.

How do I organize everything?

I don't Muwhahahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahah! Hahaha! Ha! Ha.

I put stuff away after i use it. Goes for everything. Dishes, books, models, etc. It helps save on clutter and means i dont have to worry about it later.
