Five Things You Can Do This Week to Feel More Organised

Feeling all over the place lately? You’re not alone. Whether you’re juggling school, work, family  or just trying to keep your head above water – life can get messy fast.

The good news? You don’t need to change your whole routine to feel more on top of things. Sometimes it just takes a few small wins to reset your week and your mindset.

Here are 5 simple things you can do this week to feel just a little more organised (without adding stress).

Brain Dump Your To-Do List

Got a million things swirling around in your head? Write them all down – big, small, random, important, weird. It clears your brain, reduces stress, and helps you see what actually matters.

Tip: Use your Notes app, a scrap of paper, or even voice memos.

Pick One Day to Plan Your Week

It doesn’t have to be perfect – just look ahead. Are there appointments, due dates or days you’ll be extra busy? Planning helps you feel prepared instead of panicked.

Try this: Block some time – even just 10 mins – on Sunday night or Monday morning to get a rough plan for the week ahead.

Sort Your Snacks & Meals (Just a Bit)

You don’t need to meal prep like a pro – but knowing what you’ll eat for a day or two this week or having snacks ready can reduce decision fatigue (and will save you $$).

Bonus: Prep one quick meal you can grab when you’re too tired to think. Future you will be grateful.

Set a Reminder for One Important Thing

Appointments, job applications, assessments, Centrelink tasks, even remembering to take your meds – whatever you keep forgetting, set a reminder for it now. One small act = less chaos later.

Hot tip: Use calendar alerts, sticky notes on your mirror, or ask someone to check in with you.

Do One Kind Thing for Future You

Get your clothes out for tomorrow. Charge your devices. Put your keys in one place. Refill your water bottle.
It doesn’t have to be huge – just something small to make tomorrow smoother.

 You Don’t Have to Be “Fully Together”

Being organised isn’t about being perfect – it’s about doing just enough to feel a little more in control. Pick one or two things that work for you and give them a go this week.

Tiny changes = big shifts.
