I'm not just talking about organizing the cabinets or sorting the laundry. I'm talking more about how you get your life and online world on track so that you can focus on the next big job. How do you keep yourself from getting distracted online when you're trying to work, instead of surfing off to the next site?
Here are a couple tips that I use to orgnaize myself online.
Most times, I'll write down my monthly and yearly goals on a list and post it on the wall. Then I never look at it. Amazingly, I get everything on the list done. That's my best tip. Just getting your ideas out onto paper will help bring them alive. Step one in accomplishing any goal is to write it down and proclaim it to the world. Even posting your goal on Mylot would be a good idea.
You might try an online organizer or reminder service. You can get a free online calender and that will help you remember events.
What are some of your best tips for getting your online and offline self organized so that you get more accomplished either for job, school, personal life, etc. Please share.

Maybe I don't have so much work to do like you.When I was in college I always do the assignments or tasks which are most urgently and then another. If I had a lot to do,I will write them down and paste the paper in front of my eyes.When I want to do some work I would look at the paper to find what I need to do and select the one I want to do mostly or the easiest one.After finish one or some,I mark on the paper,then I have a kind of feeling like accomplishing sth.Such feeling makes me very happy and energetic to do more work.

My busy schedule comes and goes. It picks up in speed, then settles down. It's better this past week. Things are getting more to normal.

I carry a small pocket calendar EVERYWHERE I go. And sometimes I take a few hours in the evening when kids are in bed, I think about what I am doing, what I want to do, and how to get there.
Online, I use gmail and so can help organize my business emails.

That's a very good idea! I'm going to have to get one of those pocket calenders. I don't spend all my time online, so my online stuff is usually not available all day. That would beat a wall calender.

My life feels so disorganized right now that it's not even funny.
I am sure it's because I am just trying to do too much all at once so nothing really gets done...or so it seems.
Even things in my planner are being forgotten because I forget to check my planner!
My goal is to not have to go back to work when the new school year starts, but in order to do that I need to make enough with this computer!

I am not a well organized individual but I know where to get my things when I needed it. I have my goals and plans in life but I dont put it in writing, I just have it in my mind. Some are coming in reality but the big goals and plans does not come out as expected. Maybe later. Dream, dream, dream.
