The good news is that simple systems will function best. Great organization isn’t about having high tech, complex systems. In fact, the more basic the better.

Creative people are often very tactile. Although the electronic tools are helpful, don’t overlook good ole pencil and paper. You may feel more comfortable with a paper planner/calendar than a PDA. That’s fine.

It’s all about how your brain functions and accesses information. Be cautious about getting things too fancy or complex. Simple will get more done and done beats perfection every time!

Try creating some spread sheets to track or check progress. This is especially useful if you have work that follows a repeatable path. Example: Adding a new client or customer to your business, training a new team member, scheduling a guest speaker or interview.

Anything that can be 1,2,3 is an opportunity to simplify with a tracking sheet. Oh, and don’t overlook the simple checklist. This is especially useful for family members’ chores, school backpacks and sports equipment.

Creative types like spontaneity, but having a flexible plan will serve you well. Dream up your ideal systems (I’ll help) so you have a path to move along.

The best way is to work backwards. Remember that goal poster/vision board? Just looking (and even touching) it daily can be very powerful to stimulate your subconscious mind to find the paths to create your dream vision.

When you start “seeing” some ideas popping into your head, jot them on sticky notes and begin arranging them on some workable order. Before you know it you’ll have a path to run right into your dream life!
