Whether you are a college student or a professional, staying organized is important. As they say, organization is the key to success. But don’t worry! Im hear to guide you with a few simple, yet necessary ways to help get your life in order.

#1 Plan ahead!

Now I know you have heard this a million times, but it really is true. Can you guess what I’m about to say?? You got it, go buy a planner. I have always bought planners in the past but had trouble sticking with it. I started a routine, every Sunday night I plan out my week. I write down any important events or projects I have. I always make sure to go back and cross out things that have already happened or I have finished. This helps me feel like I’m staying on task and it helps keep track of everything I have to do.

#2 Hold yourself and others around you accountable

My biggest fault is getting myself to do things I don’t want to do. You’re not alone, I love to procrastinate too. The biggest thing when trying to put these tips in action is a support system. Tell your friends and family that you are aiming to be more organized and productive. That way if they start to see you slacking they can hold you accountable. It might not be what you want, but it is necessary to get your life organized.

#3 Get into a routine

Now I’m not saying you have to wake up everyday at 8 am and go to bed at 10 pm, but setting a routine that works for you will be beneficial in achieving what needs to be done. Personalize your schedule to allow you to get all of your work done but also sat time a part for your hobbies or other activities. A healthy, organized lifestyle will not only help you to be more successful but you may even see an effect on your happiness.

#4 Set good habits

Habits are usually looked upon from a negative standpoint, but this isn’t always true. Finding ways to turn things into healthy habits can increase your productivity in many ways. Things such as eating healthy, only allowing 2 hours of screen time a day, or even a morning run, might not necessarily seem like a habit but incorporating small goals like these will keep you busy and will allow less time for distractions. Which I personally struggle with tremendously.

#5 Organize your space

Now hear me out, I know cleaning is never fun, but a clean room or house really makes more of a difference than you’d think. When you have a clean space you are more likely to be motivated and productive. If you have to come home to a cluttered house, you will have a cluttered mind. When I have a messy room I tend to get overwhelmed with everything I need to do and I tend to procrastinate even more. So be better than me and clean your room!

With each new year, comes new challenges. 2020 will be a decade of change for not only marketers, but social media and the industry as a whole. Here is a list of the few things you should continue to look forward to in the next few years if you plan to successfully market.

#1 Stay on top of trends

In order to successfully market to todays consumers you must be aware of the trends from the past, present, and the ones to come. Do research on what your audience is looking for, what they like, and what they are willing to buy. Algorithms are your key to success and will tell you more about a customer than any other information, use them. Facts are facts and what people buy will tell you a lot about what products they would potentially buy in the future.

#2 Technology like never before

Technology will only continue to grow across the world. Countries have more people on social media than ever before. What does this mean for you? It means that just as the technology continues to grow, your business will need to too. Many sites already use pictures and chatbots to help with the shopping experience. Now with videos becoming more popular and Virtual Reality coming shortly behind, the experience will be like nothing before. VR allows customers to virtually try on clothing and accessories from the ease of their mobile device or desktop. It allows the customer to shop smartly while also ensuring more of a possibility for purchase. Stay up to date on upcoming technology, this could either make or break your brand.

#3 Advertise smartly

Advertising doesn’t always have to cost an arm and a leg. There are many cost efficient, if not free platforms to help any business. Platforms like Snapchat and Amazon allow businesses to advertise on the platform, ensuring more traffic than a typical search engine ad may receive. Make a note of what applications get the most traffic from consumers and decide where you should be advertising.

#4 Mobile boom

Almost every person you come across will have a mobile device. With this becoming a norm, mobile marketing is as important as ever. Many mobile sites overcomplicate the layout and checkout process. To ensure you do not lose customers, start with the basics. Begin with a simple layout, fluid navigation and easy checkout. By doing so you are more likely to have a successful purchase by giving the consumer less of a choice to back out.

#5 Know your rules and regulations

Being aware of your market is very important, but also keeping up with laws and regulations will benefit your business more than you would think. By knowing the regulations that can or possibly will limit you can help assist in making conscientious business decisions.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
