How To Stop Being Busy And Get Organized

Hey you, yes you, stop being busy! I know, easier said than done, right. Just hear me out. Learn to get organized. Having autism, being busy and having 1 million things to do will just drive me insane. So I learn some methods to help make my life easier. Life doesn't have to be busy, it's busy because we make it that way.

Once you learn time management, things will be easier for you. One trait people with autism have is they are good at organization. I feel this is a skill I should share with you. This blog may have affiliate links. I will get a % of the earnings when you buy something. It will not cost you anything extra. I only suggest items that I know of or trust.


Get A To-do list

 Plan out the things you plan on doing for the week. like a to-do list. You should not have no more than 5 items on your list. If you put 10 things on your list and you can only get done let's say 3 things, you're just adding even more to your plate. You have to finish your tasks from the previous day and then do the tasks for the current day. Instead of jamming in a gym session, put on a work out tape at home and go to the gym when you have more time. Also, get yourself a planner and apply the same principles. It's like a to-do list but with a calendar.



Find A Backup income Stream

Now working a 9-5 job can suck up most of your time. Most people have to work 2/3 jobs to make ends meet. That can be draining. Start up a backup income source. You don't want to rely on your 9-5 job. Think what if you get fired, laid off, company closes. You have no backup money. You can start your website and sell things. Write an eBook that you feel people will be interested in. Affiliate links in your blog. Make sure it relates to what you're talking about so people won't find unrelated links spammy. If you're an artist, sell your work, commission photos. Commissions are where someone will pay you to make images for them, say someone wants a painting of a butterfly, they will pay you to make the butterfly painting. Sell things you don't use anymore, that bike that's been sitting in your garage for 2 years, you could sell it to a kid and he/she will have something to get to school on. sell clothes you don't wear anymore or clothes that don't fit anymore. Sell a video game/console you don't play anymore. You can downgrade your hours if your income from the backup source gets stable. You can quit your job eventually. Get into Freelance work like I am trying to get.

Do Your Work Little By  Little

Instead of doing all of your work in one day, split it up. Split your studying. When you get homework, do some of it at school and you will not have as much when you get home. Start studying for possible exams and you will not have to study as much when an exam comes up. When you have a project for school, so that little by little. 


Buy Foods That You Don't Have To Cook

It's one thing being tired after a long day at work, but it's even more aggravating if you have to cook dinner. You can buy salads and quick foods for the days you work and cook on your days off. Teach your kids how to cook if they're old enough. Order out every so often just to treat yourself.

Getting organized makes life so much easier.

Make time for family and friends. Life is better with your friends and family.

Don't sign up for too many clubs/activities. I would pick at least 2 max. When those end, then sign up for more. You don't want to pick too many clubs and all of them have meets on the same day and you can't be 4 places at once

Sometimes you just gotta chill and enjoy life. You can't do that being busy 24/7. Kick back, kick your shoes off. Watch some TV, YouTube or whatever. Hang out with your friends. LIVE. Life is too short missing out on things because you're too busy. You have control over your schedule. Act like it. Own it. Think of it like that balance project you did in school.

Jobs That Are NOT For Adults With Autism

I made a blog article on jobs that would work for adults with autism. However, I think we should cover the jobs that you should avoid if you are on the autism spectrum. This is just my 2 cents. Everyone is different. ~ Image is from Pixabay.com It's rough for people with autism to find steady employment. It's important that you avoid these jobs. Most people with autism have poor short term memory. I am one of these people. I have issues with high demand jobs that call for you to remember a lot of things.  I don't know about you, I cannot handle several tasks at the same time. I am a one at a time person. Do this then move on to the next task when I am done. Retail/Fast-food People on the autism spectrum should avoid retail/fast-food jobs. In fast-food, chances are you will be given several tasks at once. That would be too demanding on me because I need time to process, adjust, etc.  Same with retail like grocery stores. You may be given several tasks to do at one t

Travel Diaries, Jericho AR 2019 [Part 2]// blog everyday in september day 23

This blog will have different phots. I have to make several parts because I took so many photos. These photos are from my sudden trip down south. I said it was sudden because it was unplanned and unexpected. One of my aunts passed and the folks down south planned the funeral LITERALLY the week after my aunt died leaving me and my grandpa little time to get down there, save up enough money, etc. These photos will be in the order that I found them in, or gathered them in. Here are some photos crossing the Miss River. This was on the way back. it was too dark to get any photos on the way there. And when I go down south in a few weeks it will be too dark then to get any photos.  Since the next time I go, it will be at midnight.  If it will be midnight maybe I can get some dawn photos! Let's put it that way. The river looks so high. it looks like it's not even that far from the bridge.  Honestly, the bridge and water does not look too far from my angle!

I'm Writing My First Book About Autism!

I have thought long and hard about writing a book about autism. I feel people already write a book about how autism affects their life. I thought. How can I stick out from the crowd? I think that I will stick out if I talk about autism and employment. It's extremely hard for us in the workplace. It's irritating hearing 'get a job.' Don't you wish people knew it's not that simple for you? Also, this book can provide more insights. Perhaps if someone picks up and read it, get a better understanding of how we struggle. That person can help us. Someone can go 'hum, the workplace does look like hell just by how this person explains it. I know a few programmers looking for testers and this will be great for these individuals.' Things need to change. It's unacceptable that so many adults with autism are unemployed/underemployed. It's unacceptable that employers cannot simply create a job that we can perform better. By writing this book this provides m
