Top 10 Easy Things To Do at the Beginning of Every Month to Stay Organized!

by | May 29, 2021 | Lifestyle | 8 comments

Can you believe May is almost over? I swear the summer always goes by SO FAST! I figured this was the perfect time to share the things I like to do at the beginning of every month to get organized and get my life together. These things are pretty simple but truly do help set you up for success for the month!

Monthly Planning

#1 – Set Monthly Goals

I love setting monthly goals that are more micro than my yearly goals. This helps me ACTUALLY achieve my goals, and I usually choose 3 to focus on each month.

#2 – Schedule Appointments

It’s soooo easy to procrastinate making appointments. So I keep a running list of appointments to make, and schedule them at the start of a new month. I’ve also found this to work better for me than making appointments further in advance, because I have a better understanding of what my month will actually look like schedule wise.

#3 – Make Plans With Friends & Family

It can be easy for this to take the back burner when you get busy. So I like to plan a few things at the start of the month to keep myself accountable for actually taking time to relax and socialize. I find I’m way more likely to cancel last-minute plans.

#4 – Deep Clean Your Home

I try to keep my apartment clean throughout the month, but do a deep clean on a monthly basis. Starting the month off with a super clean space is the BEST feeling ever.

#5 – Budget for the Month

I like to budget for the month as well as review my spending from the previous month just to stay aware of my finances and make sure I’m staying on track.

#6 – Sort Through Your Phone Pictures & Email Inbox

These are very tedious tasks, but if you’re like me, if you don’t set time aside to do this, you will never get around to it. I get so overwhelmed when I let my inbox get out of hand, so taking time to organize it monthly helps me avoid getting overwhelmed later.

#7 – Clean Out Your Fridge

Like really deep clean your fridge. This is one of my least favorite things to do, but it is so important to keep things clean, and it helps you avoid buying things you don’t need while grocery shopping.

#8 – Choose Books to Read

I’ve been super into reading ever since the semester ended. I have a long list of books I want to read, so I like to choose a few each month to read. This also helps me keep track of how many books I’ve read.

#9 – Make a List of Things to do/ Places to Try

For me, I’ve been making lists of restaurants to try or things around DC to do, now that I’m vaccinated! This makes it so much easier to make plans because you can quickly find a place you’ve been wanting to try!

#10 – Stock Up on Household Items You Use

Whether its toiletries or laundry detergent or pet food, stock up on your everyday items to avoid running out of something in the middle of the work week when you might not have time to run to the store!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and found these tips helpful!

Reproductive Rights Resources!

I am disgusted by the Court’s decision to gut abortion rights, contrary to the beliefs of the majority of Americans. The far-right majority on the bench is confirming our worst fears, and I am devastated. I want to be crystal clear: restricting access to abortion DOES NOT prevent abortions, it prevents SAFE abortions. I recognize my privilege and know that abortion restrictions will disproportionately impact low-income communities, People of Color, and the LGBTQIA+ communities, to name a few, because of structural racism and existing inequities. Overturning Roe has not only opened the floodgates to the gutting other crucial liberties, but it has made a mockery of the Supreme Court.
