The word "sort” means "to organize according to sort.” In today’s world, we have a great amount of information (for example digital documents) that we do not want just jumbled up in a mess somewhere, but categorized according to some kind of systematic structure so that we can find and save them easily.
The five ways to organize information are alphabetically, chronologically, by location, by magnitude (level), and by category. By using any of the above five groups you will find what you are looking for much faster. When saving something new, you can be assured that it will be easy to find the next time you need it. If you want to get more organized, try the following suggestions:
·
Build and sort.
If you should need to, fine-tune and make adjustments.
·
Decide on where
or what you want to sort and organize. If you are unsure where to begin, choose
whatever came to mind first and do not second-guess yourself. You will have
plenty of time to choose differently.
·
Don't let things pile up on top of dressers and tables.
Create a place for everything, and don't leave things everywhere. You will also
find things more easily if they have their own storage
box.
Get rid of extra clutter. Surround
yourself with things you need and appreciate.
·
If you have
unfinished chores, reserve some time for that. Don't try to do everything at
once. Start with something you know you have time to do right now you move in
the right direction.
·
Keep your
most important things and the things you use most often at hand. Get rid of
extra clutter. Surround yourself with things you need and appreciate. Small baskets or boxes are excellent for this purpose.
·
Make a
preliminary sketch of how the structure would look using this new way of
organizing.
·
Remember that less is more. The more clutter you see around
you. The more stressed you feel.
“Everything must be done in a proper and orderly way” (1
Corinthians 14:40,
GW)[i]
