Organize your thoughts





It is scary how much you turn like your mother as you grow older. I remember, mom always losing stuff and spending hours searching for it. Never did in my wildest dreams, did I imagine, turning into a copy of her.

Scattered brain – the by-product of growing older or maybe taking on added responsibilities, whatever be the case it’s affect on the memory and effectiveness is debatable.


There are millions of thoughts racing around in your brain, mostly things to do list, worries about finances, health. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed and the thoughts take over your very being. Steps to organize your thoughts and take control over your life:



1. If you are in a rush – slow down. It sounds contradictory, but works. Stop and take deep breaths a couple of times.


2. Give your thoughts a form by jotting down all your worries, all your to do list in concrete black and white words .When you actually see what you think, it makes your thinking process clearer.


3. Sift through your writings, and purge the one’s that are imaginary and created by your fear. Be realistic and break down the goals and your thoughts according to priority.


4. Write down your most important appointments in red on the calendar, your children’s activities in blue, your monthly bills due dates in green,school events in black, any family events like baby shower , weddings, dinners in purple. Codifying for to do list this way will break it down and simplify your thought. Keep the calendar visible, so that all family members are aware of what is going on, it will be easier to add an event if needed, without double or triple booking.


5. Take stock of all that you have been able to accomplish. Rewarding yourself for your things done and your past achievements is a great motivator. It’s hard to work for yourself or others without incentives.


Now, sit back and enjoy the clarity and the joys of organized thoughts.
