Take five minutes each day to organise your day
You can become so bogged down in work responsibilities and the daily personal hustle and bustle that you lose perspective and an overview of your priorities in general. Therefore, you should plan a five-minute break each day that will be devoted solely to planning and organising your activities and figuring out how you will combine your personal and professional life on that day and the next.
Say no a lot more often
In order to organise your own time better, you need to learn to say no to certain things, ideas and activities. Knowing what you should leave alone is perhaps even more important than knowing what needs to be done. Therefore, learn to say no much more often.
Prioritise
Decide for yourself what is important to you. What are your long-term plans? What do you want to focus on? What are your goals? In other words, set your priorities and focus on them.
Look for sustainable solutions
When figuring out how to organise your time and balance your personal and professional life, try to come up with solutions that are not short-term, but sustainable in the long term.
Do not be upset if things do not go according to plan
Even the best plan will not always work 100% of the time. Be forgiving towards yourself and if ever your plans do not work out or literally fall apart, do not get too upset about it: just take a deep breath and get your agenda back on track.
