The Get Organised Challenge: Week Three

organiser_100 If you feel like you never have enough time, especially for the activities and people you love, it's time to reorganise your daily tasks - expert Helen Foster shows you how to create an extra hour a day

Create time, cut out stress
Why is it that, despite all the conveniences of the modern world, we seem to have less time than ever before? As well as making your environment clearer and cleaner, the aim of this workshop is to free up more time for you to spend on the things you enjoy.

Stress has reached almost epidemic levels in Britain. At work and home, there seems to be an endless stream of little tasks which makes it nearly impossible for you to feel like you can relax, having done everything you need to. Stress is often just regarded as an inevitable by-product of today's hectic lifestyle. But do we really need to be this hectic?

A lot of time is wasted because of bad planning, procrastination, and other people?s unnecessary demands; leaving us with much less time for the important tasks or for essential relaxation. This week you're going to learn how to be firm with yourself and others.

An extra hour a day
Cleaning out your clutter will make an impact on the amount of time you have - clutter experts say a proper purge cuts cleaning time by around 40 per cent. By establishing the simple organisational systems from Week Two, you shouldn't be wasting as much time looking for things: you've already saved yourself roughly 22 minutes a day. Now we're going to take that further and teach you how to make time in your day in other ways.
