3 Tips to Make Organization One Less Thing to Worry About

3 Tips to Make Organization One Less Thing to Worry About

My name is Jess, and I am diagnosed with high-functioning anxiety disorder (HFAD). To break down why my specific diagnosis is different from generalized anxiety disorder, those who deal with HFAD on a daily basis are mentally programmed to focus heavily on details, overthink, and overanalyze. These behaviors and ways of thinking are often times thought of as a subconscious masking of our overwhelming amount of thoughts, usually centered around worrying.  While learning to live with this constant anxious bug, I came to the conclusion that organization and constant reminders are my way of staying on track of everything I deal with on a daily basis as a Senior in college. Read her blog below: 


I have come up with my top three best organization tips to eliminate the stress of worrying about the little things that you really don’t have the time or energy to dwell on. My roommate Katie, who has chronic neurological Lyme disease, suggested I share some of my simple, easy tips to make organization one less thing to worry about.

1. ACTUALLY USING  PEN AND PAPER

Yes, I know we live in the technological age. But actually writing everything you need to do on in a planner or agenda is more likely to make you remember something important than typing it in an app on your phone.According to a recent study published in the Psychological Science publication, using pen and paper, not laptops, to take notes or write reminders, boosts memory and the ability to retain and understand concepts.

 2. “THE DROP OFF”

When you finally get home after a long day, having a drop-off spot for all of your important items such as your car keys, wallet, anything of that sort, helps you not have to deal with that annoying moment of leaving the house and not knowing where those important items are.

3.  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FOLDERS!

 
Yes, folders! Both on your little desktop, or actual folders that you used to use back in middle school. Folders are an awesome organizational tool to make sure everything that should be in the same section or area, is exactly where it should be.  If you look at your desktop and see a thousand floating documents all over, this may be more of a hassle than you realize.  Take the time to organize all of them into specific folders, and you’ll always know where to find any important document.

As simple as these tips may seem if you make a habit of using all of them all together, every day, and effectively, you may just find organizing your life to be a little bit easier.

It all started with a cut off sock, a cute hockey player, and an 8 AM finance class. Oh, and a PICC Line. That moment inspired us to launch our first product, the PICCPerfect PICC Line Cover.

 

We know it stinks to feel defined by a diagnosis or feel like just a name on a doctor’s chart. Sounds like you? Read how our founder turned sickness into strength.

One positive that came out of the pandemic was tha One positive that came out of the pandemic was that many of us were able to have flexible working arrangements. As more states lift restrictions, heading back to work after months of working from home can be a huge adjustment for so many of us. Allowing time in our schedules for commuting, brushing up on our social skills, and making sure to have access to our medical supplies are just a few things we need to prepare for.

If you've returned to work, what was the hardest part about making the transition back?

It includes space to track daily symptoms, hydration, thoughts and moments of gratitude amidst the daily challenges and is brought to you with input from our Friends in the Fight® Click the link in our bio to find out more.
