ABLE Open Learning Centre - Let's Get Organised

LET'S GET ORGANISED

Our lives are often very busy. The busier we become, the more organised we need to be.

This pack looks at:

1. Organising your time
2. Organising your thoughts/ideas
3. Organising information

There are guidelines and activities which attempt to help you decide on the best ways to organise your life and work.

ORGANISING YOUR THOUGHTS / IDEAS SPIDER NOTES

Example: You have to write a letter encouraging employees to use public transport. Or it could be a letter to the newspaper.

You may not use all of the ideas, but they are much more focussed and organised than brainstorming.
People often prefer this method, but you can miss ideas.
It could also be the next step after brainstorming as a way of sorting ideas.

Now try one yourself
