What can you do to break a cycle of disorganization? Start by learning what would work for you. You do things in your own way; it stands to reason that there is an approach to organization that would work better for you than others. Take the time to learn about different ways to organize. Up until now you may have thought that you’d never be able to get organized – it’s probably more likely that you just haven’t found a system that works for you.

Becoming better organized can lead to living simpler and better time management; these in turn can lead to less stress and less stress can help increase your level of energy.

So now it’s back to exercise again – outside of the physical benefits of exercise, there are also mental and emotional reasons to work out. Hard strenuous physical activity can clear the mind of clutter. People often problem solve while exercising because their focus becomes clearer. Activity can also be an emotional outlet. Emotions that can build up and hinder you from functioning at your best can be diffused with exercise.

There are no magic bullets here. If there were, we’d all be abounding with energy. You’re not going to create an abundance of energy over night. Start small. Eat a vegetable with dinner. Take a walk during the day. Imagine your store of energy is like a bank account – the better you handle your account, the more energy you’ll have. If you overdraw it, you’ll be working with a deficit. Work on keeping your account balanced and “tired of being tired” will become a saying of the past.
