Are you always running around at the last minute, forgetting important dates, or losing track of where you left that <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>important thing? We\u2019re here to help show you how to be more organised\u2026 so you can stop being such a mess. (We joke because we care.) It\u2019s time to step up a level, with some essential organisation tips that will transform you into a highly efficient master-organiser.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make lists<\/b><\/h2>\n

We know, we know, this is basically the most basic organisation tip of all time, but making lists is one of the best ways to get organised. The important thing is to put those lists somewhere they\u2019ll really make a difference to you. No more dashing important must-do reminders down on the back of a receipt or an errant post-it note.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you often find yourself making lists but then not making it through all the tasks, change it up \u2013 put a whiteboard somewhere you\u2019ll always see it, like right by your front door or by your bed. If you\u2019re a natural scatterbrain, learning how to be more organised is all about changing habits, so making sure you put reminders somewhere you\u2019ll definitely see them will help massively.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re always out and about, then try a list app on your phone. Pick one that will let you set reminders about tasks, or even let you assign a task to a location so it reminds you to do a job when you leave or arrive somewhere!<\/span><\/p>\n

Set reminders<\/b><\/h2>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be awesome if you could just spend one day doing all of your life admin for the year, and then it would be done? Well, we can\u2019t necessarily show you how to be more organised for <\/span>every <\/span><\/i>part of your life, but we can help with one of the most common \u2018oh my god I forgot!!\u2019 moments: sending cards. That sinking feeling when you realise you forgot an<\/span> important anniversary<\/span><\/a>, or spaced on sending your<\/span> sister\u2019s birthday card<\/span><\/a>? A thing of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Built right into the thortful website, you can create custom reminders for important dates when you need to send a card, and we\u2019ll remind you when it\u2019s time. You can set reminders to send a card from 30 to 3 days before \u2013 plenty of time to order and make sure their special day is just a little bit more special.<\/span> Check out our handy reminder creator here!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Schedule sending cards ahead of time<\/b><\/h2>\n

Did you read that last paragraph thinking \u2018that\u2019s a great idea, but I\u2019m going to forget to check my email because my inbox is always overflowing\u2019? Don\u2019t worry \u2013 we\u2019ve still got your back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just think how organised you\u2019ll feel \u2013 and you\u2019ll never again have to dash to the garage down the road to grab a slightly naff dog-eared card for your mum\u2019s birthday. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 if you need some ideas for what to write so far ahead of time, we\u2019re here to help with our<\/span> handy what to write guides<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Establish good habits every day<\/b><\/h2>\n
