Organised
Chaos Part 2 of 2
28 JAN 08
I
do believe that everyone should have an organizer. If you don’t
then how the heck do you keep track of your homework, projects,
progress on your hobbies, contacts of your friends, long term goals,
short term goals, score own goals? You don’t have a room full
of post it notes do you? The way I see it, life is equals to time..
Time is all we have. So if you are wasting your time, or you don’t
keep track of it, you are indirectly wasting your life away.
You
gotta start organizing your life young so that it will be a habit.
You gotta know what you want to do and have plans. (Your plans
not working out are another matter altogether.) Wah EB suddenly
becomes motivational speaker. Hahah. |

Oh
well, I’ll share you with you tips on how to get your life
organize, track progress and all that good stuff in a non-complicated
and cheap way. First of all, I realize that the best organizer
to buy is this notepad from Popular bookstore that’s costs
around $5 bucks or so.. It may be expensive for a notepad, but
this is something that you gonna use for 1 whole year so it’s
definitely worth it.

Planners! I use 1 for each year.

From
all the thousands of notepads and organizers in stock at Popular
bookstore, why do I choose this one? The reason is, it comes
conveniently with 4 blank tabs. You go check- most notepads
do not have these. Depending on your lifestyle and activities
you indulge in, you can write whatever you want on these tabs.
Currently, mine have;

School
children might have
1) Homework
2) More Homework
3) CCA
4) Suicide Plans

|
If murder
is your thing, then your system planner
might have tabs like these. |

So
now that you have 4 activities written on it, this is how you
use the book. Firstly, you do not have to write on it every single
day. Use only when a major thing happen like eg. your Mom’s
birthday is coming. So, you write today’s date first then
write:
“Mama’s
B-day coming liaos. But I got no money but I still love my Mama.”
Or
you can write your homework for the day etc. If there’s
nothing going on, don’t write anything. And the best is,
you save paper, because after you write your crap in, draw a line
across and the space below is for the next entry and it can be
on any other day. You understand what I’m writing or not?!
Oklah, oklah, I draw diagram. |

The
last page of the book, I always reserve for telephone numbers
because you can access that page easily.
Ok
now, you have a nifty book where you can write all your appointments,
datelines, a list of people you owe money to, but you have no
money to pay as yet because you haven’t finish your freelance
projects so you have no choice but to act blur and all that good
stuff. But for those who needs that extra dictator type of control,
then let me introduce to you to “The Tracker”. I have
used this baby a long time back and I can say that it works like
a charm.
The
Tracker is a visual aid for you to track your progress on a certain
activity. Example, let’s say that you are now a whopping
300kg. Let’s say that you want to slim down and look like
Scarlett Johansson. Let’s say your friends think you are
never gonna make it and tells you to be realistic. Let’s
say, out of anger, you ate all your friends and you gotta admit
they taste like chicken. Let’s say, after burping you realized
that swimming is the best way to exercise cause, 1) you can play
with water, 2) it’s therapeutic and 3) you can pee without
anyone noticing 4) you like to make fart bubbles. So what you
do is, simply print out the Tracker write your activity on it
and shade the box that corresponds on the day you did the activity.

| Once
the month ends, you can see visually whether you have been slacking
or not. A table with a lot of boxes shaded means you’ve been
using your time wisely. An empty table means, you have been watching
too much Heroes or Korean Drama serials. Use
it well, use it good,
