As I am getting more completed today, and feeling super fatigue I was daydreaming about when I was working at Butlins Holiday camp in the Residential Catering Department and would have to stock take and count cutlery and bowls etc, and it was real hard work and could easily lose count.

So we would then workout what was the best method and good place to get start, and so learning from that, I firstly set it all out first in a diary or a calendar and just spend time planning and is a good way to get started and write down how many we had counted by writing it down and could take a long time to do, but we always managed it, and when it was done felt so much better, but at one point it felt like it was never going to end.

Yet we always had a system, and I have that now where by I make sure before I get stuff done for myself, that Henry my son has his breakfast, that he is ready for school, and then will tidy up once he has gone and get started on a blog post or whatever tasks I have planned for each day and keep track of it, by planning and go through tasks not completed on other days, and have my planner laid out along with my Lists on OneNote and my calendars.

I use my Sunday’s, as I spend my days in Epsom in the week to see me son off to and from school, use this time to sort out my bedroom in Wimbledon and trying to have minimal stuff and what works for me is doing it bit by bit each Sunday. If you have a whole day then that is fine, but if not my tip is, break it up and just do ten minutes each time or whatever time suits you, but get started with entertainment, like listening to music or a podcast.

When working in a contact centre I would get there in enough time to set myself up with all my notes and tools on my computer and then log into the contact system to speak to customers over the phone and on the chat and email service, and would check to see if I had any customers cases that were escalated, and so had to contact the customer about there case to hopefully solve their problem, with a product. I was given manuals from a colleague, who left and were manuals for the different phones that the company I was representing, manufactured to hand, and other documents.

I was so thankful and would print of manuals of equipment and I found it easy to have manuals to hand as there were time when the computer network we used, crashed and could still give technical support. So next tip, have a notebook to hand too aswell digital tools.

Next tip, keep stuff into a folder, for notes and cheat sheets ( I used these working in a contact centre), and were labelled, and again found it a lot easier to refer too rather than online. I do this now and have folder of all my important documents and have my current book notes in one and notes from my Life Coaching course and my certificates of courses I have done, in the last year and completed and so next tip, give everything a home, and have a junk draw. I last Sunday sorted out the bottom of my wardrobe of bags and used storage box for the items I want to keep like pockets tissue packs, carrier bags to reuse and other essential items, not in any particular but easy to find these items that I use all of the time.

I have filmed this in a weekly vlog, for my main Youtube channel, and will be up soon.
