Adulting comes with many responsibilities and one of the most essential yet sometimes hard to do, is to be properly organized so that your life runs as smoothly as possible.


Whether you are someone who has always struggled with getting your life organized, or your hectic lifestyle has made the organizational process a challenge, it may seem that fixing your issues is more trouble than it's worth.

You can take a deep breath because, luckily for you, there are a few tips that can get you back on track in no time and we've compiled them into a handy list. By following these helpful tips, your current chaotic lifestyle will hopefully be a thing of the past.

1.Write Things Down

This tip is so simple yet with technology in the palm of our hands, courtesy of smartphones and computers, writing things down has almost become something of a dated practice. If you can't recall the last time you actually wrote something down, you should definitely start. Think of writing things down as an extra insurance policy in the event that you lose/damage your phone or your computer crashes. Having a written backup of things you need to do and other important information, can save you a lot of hassle and headache when things get too crazy.

2.Resist Procrastination

Repeatedly putting off things in your life that need to be done won't help them go away. In fact, procrastinating just makes things even worse. There may be valid reasons why you procrastinate about things, such as needing more rest, something else taking priority, or an emergency occuring. However, if you have a habit of putting things off just because it's too much on your plate, that's exactly the reason why you shouldn't do it. Instead, write down a list of what you need to do and check off each task in order as they are completed.

3.Commit to Scheduling/Planning

Spontaneity is great, but it rarely serves useful if you're trying to get your life together. Not sticking to a schedule is arguably one of the worst things you can do if your life is spiraling out of control. By committing to a schedule and planning out your day, you ensure that the essential and important things that need to be done are successfully completed on time. These days, there is no excuse for not scheduling your days because every smartphone has the ability to basically do it for you.

4.Know When To Delegate

Sure, you may pride yourself on your ability to do it all, but that is the fastest way to burnout. As hard as it may be to believe, learning when to delegate things in your life to others who can help you is actually as sign of strength. Many of us are so used to taking care of everything ourselves, that we often forget that there is no shame in asking for help. Whether you need help at home or at work, simply delegating some of your daily tasks to someone else can save you a lot of unnecessary stress.

5.Learn to Say “No”

The people pleasers of the world will likely have trouble with this one. If you find it hard to say "no" to things, then you are setting yourself up for a steep crash and burn. Saying "no" can be viewed as a negative, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It takes a lot of wisdom and courage to know yourself well enough to be able to firmly and confidently say "no" to something that you just don't have the time for. It doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you human and your self-care is the most important aspect of living a stress-free life.

6.Prioritize What’s Important

The things in your life that are the most important should come first, no questions asked. Work commitments and family obligations should always take precedence over anything else. By focusing your time and energy only on the things that are of the utmost importance in your life eliminates you from taking on too much at once and instead concentrating on what matters most.

7.Embrace Your Passions

Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to do what we are passionate about for a living, but that's okay because you can still make time for it in leisure. Do you love to write, design clothes, dance, sing, body-build, or DIY? Whatever your passions are, try to find some time in your life to indulge in them. Perhaps starting off with one day during the week, such as Sunday, to do the things that you love to do. This gives you a break from the monotony of the daily grind and keeps your mind clear enough to embrace things that bring you joy and fulfillment.

The most important lesson we are learning about love in 2025 is change. Many major Astrological transits are happening this year, and these will last for years to come. As we walk through this new year, we are being asked to let go of the things we can’t control, and give more grace to the things we can. This is a year of a new perspective on love, finding gratitude in the little things, and watching as the universe supports us and the dreams we build for ourselves here.

9 Oral Sex Hacks To Make 2025 Your Most Satisfying Year Yet

Even though I work with mostly married couples, that doesn’t mean some of my clients aren’t engaged or single (which I personally classify as being not married or betrothed). And y’all, if there is one thing that I will advise single folks on — male and female alike — when it comes to intimacy, specifically, it’s please do not choose someone for the long run who is merely “good at sex;” instead, select an individual who enjoys it because there is a really big difference between the two.

It has been my professional observation (20 years in at this point) that people who are good at coitus can oftentimes find ways to weaponize, manipulate, and gaslight with it. People who enjoy it, though? Within them, there is a natural level of enthusiasm, joy and, even if they aren’t all that masterful, skill and technique-wise, at the acts(s), they are more than willing to learn (or customize).
