Since this is the first video for 2020 I thought it would be a good idea to present you "One Year to an Organized Life" by Regina Leeds. The special thing about this book is that it doesn't feel overwhelming. Instead of trying to teach you everything about organization, it divides different topics for the course of 12 months, giving you simple weekly and monthly projects to follow so you can tackle different areas of your life and home separately.
The other good thing about this book is that you can adapt it to your learning or reading rhythm. You'll probably feel like you can't adapt some of these chapters to your life (for instance September focuses a lot on back-to-school season for kids), but that means that you can go through the index and decide to extend some of the chapters throughout a wider span of months. For example, if you feel like you have a lot of the so-called hidden areas, like basements, garages, laundry rooms, etc, you'll probably have to dedicate more than one month to cover the organization of those spaces.
The book also suggests a bunch of new habits to implement for at least 21 days straight each month. This can be a little bit of help if you're struggling with implementing certain routines. Even if you can succesfully organize everything in your house, you won't be able to keep that organization for long if you are unable to build strong habits.
Since I don't want to spoil the book for you, I'll cover the January chapter for this video so you can get some motivation to start this transformation in 2020.
In January, Regina Leeds suggests you to focus on 1) understanding time management and 2) working on the kitchen.
Regarding habits, the author suggests you to pick at least one of the following, and sticking with it for 21 days straight:
Wash dishes rather than leave them languishing in the sink;
Put your clean dishes away immediately;
If you use a dishwasher, unload it when its cycle is complete;
Wipe of the counters after each use;
Once a day, take out the garbage.
On the first week of January, your should be understanding where your time is going and understanding how to use it. You can use a journal or a notepad for this exercise. Tracking how much time you're spending on cleaning, sleeping, commuting, scrolling through social media or watching Netflix is a good way to have a good look at how you‘re spending an invaluable resource that could be used to reach other goals. Maybe you've always wanted to write a book, do some volunteer work or learn a language. Cutting back on what's non essential and redirect that time to more essential tasks is a sign of organization, too.
In week two you should be working on creating schedules and routines. The goal is to create your ideal planning system by setting up a calendar, planner or other type of organization method, and then by using that tool, create a routine that is both effective at tackling all of your to-dos and also giving you enough time to either work on personal projects and taking care of yourself. Part of this job includes 1) delegating tasks to someone you trust, 2) cutting back on activities that aren’t giving you joy or are useless for your daily routine and 3) living your day-to-day life taking into account your future wellbeing. This last step can be tricky but it’s a change in your mindset that can be incredibly useful in the future. It can apply to incredibly simple things like laying out your outfit the night before or organizing a project or a trip step by step six months ahead before you engage in that activity. Life can be unpredictable and saving planning, organization or working for when they feel “appropriate”, near the deadline, can give you a lot of trouble if something else comes up. Take pleasure in preparing for the unexpected and you’ll have more leverage to work around problems when they arrive.
Week three and four are dedicated to the kitchen and you should be asking so-called “kitchen questions”. Since it’s the first week of January I haven’t started the organizational section of the book myself so I’ll leave you with a few topics you can start working on or planning for:
1) You should be analyzing the space around you and understand how you currently use your kitchen and how you would like to use it.
2) You should then perform a speed elimination of items that you no longer need or use and
3) set up different areas in your kitchen according to your needs.
4) Regina Leeds also suggests you to organize your pantry so it supports your kitchen activities, even if your pantry is just a few shelves and, finally,
5) Create a shopping list and an emergency contact list to keep nearby.

What I do is every semester I make a goal to improve one thing about my life. One semester I focused on getting my sleeping schedule under control. The next I focused on diet. And this semester I am going to focus on exercise. The following semester I might focus on having a cleanroom. And so on. I just find that having 3-4 months to really focus on making something into a habit is the perfect amount of time. And it isn't just about having only a year to get your life together. It's about understanding that you aren't going to be perfect, and but you can change your life gradually one step at a time.

Never have I ever found a TH-cam video to be more helpful. I'm starting work next week and this is just what I needed. I just purchased "one year to an organized work life" thank you.
Fareen Mohamed I absolutely agree you. Sometimes it feels that Mariana is too good for me. It’s like she breakdown my organisation that I didn’t even got to understand properly into small pieces. She is actually making solid food into puree for baby (me). I Appreciate your time so much Mariana. Thank you
I've watched a lot of productivity and organizational videos for students, and your videos are the only ones that I can relate to and follow. Thanks for all your hard work!❤
I got so inspired that tomorrow I’m goons to tell my mom to get organised this year, because I want her to be more aspirational as me
I always learn so much from you! Thank you for sharing your tips and creating such helpful and beautiful videos!🤗✨ becoming more organized is something I really want to work on and the book you suggested here sounds amazing🥰
Have already got this and can't wait to start!
I’m looking forward to watching, your videos are always wonderful!! I hope you’re having a great first week of your 2020!! 💜
Thank you Mariana it was so useful
I really love your videos and I have found no any youtuber who do this sort of amazingly useful videos
Thank you so much again
Hi Mariana, great video and presentation. How to you feel about Feng shui? I ask because most of your videos are very organized in a very discipline similar to Feng shui.
waw... very nice..... love theway U making and passion for ur good
Omg yay I'm so early love ur vids also can u make a video on how to make revision guides or how to prepare for an important test? Thanks so much
Awesome vid. I have seen a few people in real life similar to you and they usually start at a very young age so for someone to do it as an adult it may be very hard but this vid really helps. Please keep going.
I saw that you've been using the Notion app! Would you be willing to make a video on how you use it? I wish you a wonderful new year ❤
Sanam I would love that 2
Me too! It’s so overwhelming
Go to her TH-cam page. Look for the word "about" and click on it. You will find some options including "search". Type in "notion" and you will see a list of her videos on Notion.
Hope this helps.
MichiganDave Thank you!
Great! I loved the video and your voice!
The book is good , I love to read it while sitting in my messy office, but later, it becomes overwhelming for me to finish the book, as there is nothing new in this book, same old stuff as Marie kondo, I m not saying, that the book is bad, or you can't learn anything from It is just that the author lacks particular new slant to this whole organization thing, but, you can pick up a tip or two. No hard feelings.
By the way, I love the way you present every book, there are very few TH-camrs who are as dedicated as you..Thank you so much for your precious time.

Amei este vídeo, Mariana.
Hi! Love your video 😁 can I ask where you got the black handbag?

Sua voz é de uma pessoa organizada hahahaah ouvi-la sempre me acalma!
Very helpful tips thanks, is that book a calendar?
I love your videossss a lot
I want that iPad 😭😭😭😭💕
I need help!-
I study stuff using YT channels but many times I get engaged in other sh*t and get distracted. Any suggestions on what I can do to dodge the problem?
This sounds like such a helpful book! I can’t wait to dive into it :)
Thanks so much for this video, it really helpful. Please if i may ask, what's the name of the tablet you are using in this video? Please share with me a link were i can buy it online. Thanks again.
im 99% sure its the newest ipad pro from apple with a keyboard case, i hope this helps
@@Laurel99 Thanks so much. It surely helped.
Also how do you backup your personal files? What method are you using ?
This is what an INFJ does when possible. Perfect coloured objects and plants actually make your surroundings seem organised. You need to have high standards to be organised and satisfied. But most importantly is hard work.
What video editor are you currently using? :)
Which storage does your iPad have?
What’s the promo code?
So... this video was about promoting this book and an ad about Skillshare in the end. :/
Can you make a video like this per month? It would be fantastic
What are the pens that you us4?
❤️❤️
