It's obvious. An organized life gives you much greater change of having a successful life. Whatever success is to you, you need to know how to get organized in enough areas so that you can achieve it.

And through collecting your thoughts in an organized way you can facilitate everything important to you. Efficiency will help you not lose precious moments of time due to a lack of organization and preparation.

Through organization you will eliminate many unnecessary pressures, dissatisfactions, and frustrations. You will easily relate to these 3 realms of life.

Consider that the physical realm of your life involves the people, environment, and things like your health, security and financial situation.

The Emotional Realm organizes your 'spiritual' (whatever that means to you) and emotional experience of life. Your pursuit of happiness and romance, peace, and adventure.

The Mental Realm organizes your thought. The development of mind includes building your personal power via learning, self-questioning, character development, skill building, listening, exploring, and developing influence.

To organize life you will have to control and organize those 3 realms in full. Here are 3 very valuable techniques to help you organize your 3 realms. They will help you organize life from 3 different 'ranges'.

A. Short Range: 10 Minute Get-On-Track. At times we get off track, whether practically, or with our efficiency, or emotionally. At those times, it is wise to do a 10 Minute Get-on-track review which is simply sitting down for about 10 minutes and going through the 7 Steps Of Organizing writing out everything that is pressing or weighing on your mind about your life right at this time.

B. Medium Range: Weekend Review to Organize Life. On a regular basis, perhaps weekly or so, take some extra time to think through the past week and project ahead into the week coming. Use your calendar when you do this weekend review and you will easily find your life becoming more organized.

Weekly reviews are one of the things that when you make a habit of it, can have a dramatic lasting effect on how organized your entire life becomes.

And don't let your brain trick you into missing this important technique. Yes it can be extremely hard work to think of all the messy details of how things are going and attempting to put it all in order. But don't let your brain get away with chickening out.

Call yourself all sorts of bad names to motivate yourself if you're being too lazy. And it doesn't have to be hard. Just grab pen and paper and jot down the thoughts on your mind about what happened the week before and what's on the agenda for the coming week.

A neat trick to help you see the progress you make is to keep each weeks notes and look them over when you do the present weeks review. You'll soon see the benefit of doing these weekly reviews by the aha moments and hmm moments you have during the reviews by looking at the last weeks review.

C. Long-Range: Your Life's Big Picture. Did you know that only 3% of people write down their goals?

You should go to great lengths to nail down the big important things in your life. Your ultimate success and satisfaction depends on you being organized with your big ambitions and values.

Can you see that these 3 techniques fit will with the 3 ranges of short, medium and long perspectives of your life? A 10 minutes quick review. A weekly review of what's been going on and what's up and coming for the new week. And a long-range goal planning that identifies what's important to you.

Don't fret about getting it right. Just do it. Your life will easily become more organized if you spend less time worrying about it, and more time just scribbling down your thoughts so that you can later act on them at the right time.
