Hey guys! If you know me in person, you'll probably know that I am a fairly lazy human being and I have no shame in admitting it myself- if I can just avoid doing something or do it with a shortcut, I will. Whether it's at home, at school or at work, I think most of us can do with a kick up the arse to get our lives sorted and I'm here today with things that have helped me!

Invest In A Planner, and oh... actually use it!
I have a terrible habit of buying notepads and planners that I end up rarely, if at all using so I've forced myself to get a planner this year and actually use it. In my planner, I plan out my blog posts and write down what I'm doing as well as what needs doing- it's great!
I suppose you may not really need one if you aren't a busy person, like me, or if don't have a YouTube channel or blog but there's a tip here for you!

Write yourself 'To Do' lists every morning or the night before
It really doesn't have to be fancy, as demonstrated on my whiteboard! You can use Post-It notes, a whiteboard, a planner, anything! I always find myself being more productive when I write down what I need to do and feeling the satisfaction of crossing it all off when it's done. Also, needless to say, you can't put things off because you've wrote down exactly what you need to do!

If you're going somewhere the next day, pack your bags and pick your outfit the day before
This step literally saved me when I had to go back to school last year as well as days out when the classic 'I have nothing to wear!' moments happen.
Take at least 10 minutes every day to have a general tidy and de-clutter
I like to do this before I go to bed every day or before I start studying because I find that I'm a lot more productive when there isn't anything to distract myself with. Let's face it, it feels better to do anything on your desk or whatnot when it's tidy! Also, when you're finished doing whatever you may be doing, clean up after yourself so that you don't have a huge mess to deal with at the end of the week.
Don't rely on memory, write everything down!
More times than I could possibly count, my memory has failed me and I forgot some pretty important things. Personally, I like to take down notes on some Post-It notes or the Notes app on my iPhone if I'm out and about.
