    Organizational Skills Online Course Outline 

    Here’s a quick overview of the 12 modules our online organization course covers. Let us show you how we can help you organize your home and work life. 

    Module 1: Getting started

    In this first training session, your teacher will introduce the course outline of the upcoming organization classes. It will introduce learners to the problems that chronic disorganization can cause as well as the skills you will learn to improve your executive function. 

    Module 2: Remove the Clutter

    In this part of the course, we take the first step towards becoming more organized. Here, you will learn the importance of reducing clutter to avoid distractions. This might seem overwhelming at first, but by taking things one step at a time and remembering to take a break, you can begin to declutter your life. 

    Not only will this help you keep your office and home organized, but this section of the organizational skills training can also help you to improve your leadership and management skills. After all, you can’t run a smooth and efficient operation if your workspace is disorganized. 

    Just do it

    Just as a journey begins with a single step, de-cluttering begins by removing that first object. Don't think of this task as a sprint but a marathon instead. Together, we’ll learn to stop making excuses and dive in.

    You don’t have to keep everything

    Some of us are guilty of hoarding and decide to keep everything. The key is to perform a deep examination of what is essential and what we can do without.

    Three boxes: Keep, donate, and trash

    A common approach to decluttering is the so-called three boxes method. Take three boxes and label: Keep, donate, and trash. Then, pick one item at a time and drop it into the box you think it belongs in.

    A place for everything and everything in its place

    Another thing that can make a space feel cluttered is items that seem to be out of place. Observe your surroundings and identify things that are not in their proper place.

    These are all personal organization tips you can use at home and carry into a professional setting. 

    Module 3: Prioritize

    Being organized isn’t just about finding the right place for all your items. This discipline also includes being able to organize your time and activities effectively. In this module, the training participant will learn time and task management techniques that are key in both personal and professional development training. 

    Write it down

    Making a mental note usually isn’t the best idea when organizing your time. Having your priorities listed down on a piece of paper makes it easier for you to review what you need to do, plus you can strike off completed items and move on to the next thing. 

    Urgent/important matrix

    The urgent/important matrix is a useful tool that we can use to think about our priorities and how we handle them. But, before we can use the matrix, we must first write down everything we want to accomplish within a certain period.

    Divide tasks

    Dividing your tasks into smaller groups is a good idea if the number of items you have listed seems overwhelming. How you divide them is, however, entirely up to you. The key here is to find a combination that works for you.

    80/20 rule

    The 80/20 rule is all about prioritizing what’s important and disregarding the rest. This states that if we handle the first 20 percent, which consists of the most important tasks, the other 80 percent will take care of itself.

    Module 4: Scheduling your time

    Time is a valuable resource that can’t be replaced or purchased. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. In this module, you will learn essential time management strategies, including how to use a business organizer and other, similar organization skills that will help you maximize your time and resources.

    Have a master calendar

    Some people have several calendars, one for each area of their life. This might seem like a good idea at first because it allows you to keep your personal life separate from work. But this might not be an ideal setup since it increases your risk of double booking events or missing important appointments. Instead, consider a single comprehensive master calendar.

    Setting deadlines

    Deadlines are not something to be dreaded. An organized person should regard deadlines as something that provides a sense of structure and balance.

    Remove or limit the time-wasters

    Time-wasters are the things that distract you from the task at hand. But, before you can limit the time-wasters in your life, you must first identify what or who they are, for example, social media and messaging.

    Coping with things outside of your control

    Coping and adapting are the only solutions when we are faced with things outside of our control. Once we accept that fact, we can start developing coping mechanisms that will help us to overcome difficult or unexpected situations.

    Module 5: To-do lists

    When you feel overwhelmed with the amount of work you need to do, the best solution is to put your planning skills into action and create to-do lists. Try not to think of them as organization projects but as essential components of a structured daily life. 

    Use a day planner

    A day planner is a great tool that will help you to manage your time and stay on top of your job lists. And, because day planners are so easy to carry around, you can access yours whenever you need to.

    Finish what you start

    Listing all your tasks is only half the job, but finishing what you start is another thing entirely. To make your way through your tasks, it’s important to foster a sense of accomplishment. This can give you an extra push when you need it most.

    Focus on what’s important

    Getting lost in your to-do lists is a constant possibility. That’s why focusing on the most important tasks will be essential if you want to stay on track. So, determine what tasks demand your attention now and which ones can wait until later.

    Do quick tasks immediately

    If your to-do list is overwhelming you, the best way to take control is to find the quickest tasks and do them immediately. 

    Module 6: Paper and paperless storage

    Completely doing away with paperwork is impossible, even in the "paperless" age. There will always be paper receipts, invoices, cards, and business letters. So, it’s important to keep everything properly filed and stored. 

    Module six’s organization classes will teach you how to apply the principle of keeping things organized to your storage, whether you’re mostly paperless or use an old filing system. 

    Find a system that works for you

    The secret to using an organization method is finding a system that works for you. So, whether or not you go paperless, find an approach that best matches your needs. Below are a few things you should think about when deciding what system to use:

    • Where do I keep my information?

    • Do I keep physical things or electronic versions?

    • If I store paper, do I have space?

    • If I store paperless, do I have access?

    Make it consistent

    Once you find a system that works for you, stick to it. Being consistent makes it easier to stay organized because, eventually, it means that organizing becomes second nature.

    Make it time-sensitive

    It's not enough to keep your important files or documents stored for safekeeping. You also need to remember that every piece of information is connected to a timeline. To make organizing files more comprehensive, you should consider filing them based on dates and deadlines.

    Setting up archives

    The next step is to set up an archive for any documents you might need in the future. The key here is to establish a reference system that allows you to sort through these documents when you do finally need them again. 

    Module 7: Organization in your work area

    In this module of your organizational skills training, you will learn how to form good habits and use valuable techniques to increase your productivity and improve your project management. These are key in leadership development. 

    Keeping items within arm’s reach

    Being organized doesn’t just help you keep track of everything – it also makes you more efficient. By keeping items within arm’s reach, you can save yourself valuable time that can be spent on other, more important tasks. 

    Only have current projects on your desk

    Drawing on the clutter control work we did earlier in the training course, this section will help you keep your workspace tidy and well organized. It does so by explaining the benefits of only keeping projects you’re currently working on in your work area. 

    To keep your desk organized, ask yourself:

    • When does this project need to be finished?
    • Is this something that can be completed later?
    • Has this already been completed?

    Arranging your drawers

    One way of organizing your drawers is to determine how their contents relate to your everyday routine.

    Organize to match your workflow

    Plan and organize your workspace according to how you use items. Follow the tips below to get a better idea of how to organize your workflow:

    • Decide what tools you will need for the day.
    • Determine if additional supplies may be needed.
    • Try to focus on one project or set of tasks each day. Don’t attempt to mix in other to-dos.

    Module 8: Tools to fight procrastination

    Procrastination is one of the leading causes of disorganization. How many times have you been guilty of making excuses and putting off tasks until later? 

    In this module, we take a look at the different tools and habits that will help you stop procrastinating sooner rather than later. Not only is this a great organizational skill, but it can also really help with stress management. 

    Eat that frog

    This expression advises us to finish our least favorite task first. That way, all the tasks that come after won’t seem as bad. 

    Remove distractions

    Even with a comprehensive task list, there will always be distractions that make you lose focus or even stop working entirely. But, by identifying all possible distractions, you can make a mental note to stay away from them and stick to your workflow instead. 

    Give yourself a reward

    Rewards are a great way to congratulate yourself on a job well done. They don’t have to be big, either. Start with small rewards such as giving yourself a break or getting a snack when you tick a task off your to-do list.

    Break up large tasks

    Often, even when we think we only have a few items on our to-do list, we find that those tasks contain several smaller tasks within them. This can be frustrating and overwhelming. So, try and avoid the trap of miscalculating the time it will take to finish a big task and aim to start small and start early. 

    Module 9: Organizing your inbox

    Your email inbox is the virtual counterpart of your filing cabinet or document drawer. An advantage of today’s email systems is that they contain tools that can automatically sort and organize your messages. You should put these tools to good use because when your inbox is in order, it will be far easier to stay on top of the information you need. Some of the most efficient tools include: 

    • Setting delivery rules.
    • Folder and message hierarchies.
    • Flagging and highlighting important items.

    Module 10: Avoid the causes of disorganization

    In this part of the organizational skills training course, we will discuss the causes of disorganization and how to avoid it. Then, we discuss action plans that can help us to stay organized and make organization a part of our day-to-day habits. This makes it much easier to avoid giving in to the reasons for disorganization. 

    Keeping everything

    Some of us are guilty of hoarding. We keep everything because of the slight chance that some documents or items might be needed in the future. But, in reality, saving every single document only leads to disorganization, especially expired items and paperwork. 

    Not being consistent

    Being consistent leads to positive behavior and helps us to turn good habits into second nature. However, it can sometimes be all too easy to return to our earlier, more disorganized habits. It usually starts with forgetting simple things like removing distractions and then, before we know it, we’re back to our old ways. 

    Not following a schedule

    For many people, not sticking to some sort of routine or schedule can cause them to become disorganized and procrastinate. So, create schedules that provide structure and can be flexible enough to accommodate any emergencies. 

    Bad habits

    Sometimes, bad habits become natural and, as such, we fail to recognize them for what they are. The first step to breaking them is to identify them and make a conscious decision to change. 

    Module 11: Discipline is the key to staying organized

    Becoming more organized isn’t something that happens overnight. It takes hard work, discipline, and good habits to stay on the path of good organization. This is why the process can seem overwhelming at times. But, it is far from impossible. 

    Use some of the following techniques and management strategies and you will find that it is far easier to stick to the skills you learn throughout your organizational skills training course. These are a few of the final steps that you’ll need to take towards becoming a professional organizer who can always be relied upon to keep tasks in check and hit deadlines. 

    • Stay within your systems.
    • Learn to say ‘no.’
    • Make organization a part of your everyday life.
    • Start planning for tomorrow today.

      Organizational Skills Online Course Outline 

      Here’s a quick overview of the 12 modules our online organization course covers. Let us show you how we can help you organize your home and work life. 

      Module 1: Getting started

      In this first training session, your teacher will introduce the course outline of the upcoming organization classes. It will introduce learners to the problems that chronic disorganization can cause as well as the skills you will learn to improve your executive function. 

      Module 2: Remove the Clutter

      In this part of the course, we take the first step towards becoming more organized. Here, you will learn the importance of reducing clutter to avoid distractions. This might seem overwhelming at first, but by taking things one step at a time and remembering to take a break, you can begin to declutter your life. 

      Not only will this help you keep your office and home organized, but this section of the organizational skills training can also help you to improve your leadership and management skills. After all, you can’t run a smooth and efficient operation if your workspace is disorganized. 

      Just do it

      Just as a journey begins with a single step, de-cluttering begins by removing that first object. Don't think of this task as a sprint but a marathon instead. Together, we’ll learn to stop making excuses and dive in.

      You don’t have to keep everything

      Some of us are guilty of hoarding and decide to keep everything. The key is to perform a deep examination of what is essential and what we can do without.

      Three boxes: Keep, donate, and trash

      A common approach to decluttering is the so-called three boxes method. Take three boxes and label: Keep, donate, and trash. Then, pick one item at a time and drop it into the box you think it belongs in.

      A place for everything and everything in its place

      Another thing that can make a space feel cluttered is items that seem to be out of place. Observe your surroundings and identify things that are not in their proper place.

      These are all personal organization tips you can use at home and carry into a professional setting. 

      Module 3: Prioritize

      Being organized isn’t just about finding the right place for all your items. This discipline also includes being able to organize your time and activities effectively. In this module, the training participant will learn time and task management techniques that are key in both personal and professional development training. 

      Write it down

      Making a mental note usually isn’t the best idea when organizing your time. Having your priorities listed down on a piece of paper makes it easier for you to review what you need to do, plus you can strike off completed items and move on to the next thing. 

      Urgent/important matrix

      The urgent/important matrix is a useful tool that we can use to think about our priorities and how we handle them. But, before we can use the matrix, we must first write down everything we want to accomplish within a certain period.

      Divide tasks

      Dividing your tasks into smaller groups is a good idea if the number of items you have listed seems overwhelming. How you divide them is, however, entirely up to you. The key here is to find a combination that works for you.

      80/20 rule

      The 80/20 rule is all about prioritizing what’s important and disregarding the rest. This states that if we handle the first 20 percent, which consists of the most important tasks, the other 80 percent will take care of itself.

      Module 4: Scheduling your time

      Time is a valuable resource that can’t be replaced or purchased. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. In this module, you will learn essential time management strategies, including how to use a business organizer and other, similar organization skills that will help you maximize your time and resources.

      Have a master calendar

      Some people have several calendars, one for each area of their life. This might seem like a good idea at first because it allows you to keep your personal life separate from work. But this might not be an ideal setup since it increases your risk of double booking events or missing important appointments. Instead, consider a single comprehensive master calendar.

      Setting deadlines

      Deadlines are not something to be dreaded. An organized person should regard deadlines as something that provides a sense of structure and balance.

      Remove or limit the time-wasters

      Time-wasters are the things that distract you from the task at hand. But, before you can limit the time-wasters in your life, you must first identify what or who they are, for example, social media and messaging.

      Coping with things outside of your control

      Coping and adapting are the only solutions when we are faced with things outside of our control. Once we accept that fact, we can start developing coping mechanisms that will help us to overcome difficult or unexpected situations.

      Module 5: To-do lists

      When you feel overwhelmed with the amount of work you need to do, the best solution is to put your planning skills into action and create to-do lists. Try not to think of them as organization projects but as essential components of a structured daily life. 

      Use a day planner

      A day planner is a great tool that will help you to manage your time and stay on top of your job lists. And, because day planners are so easy to carry around, you can access yours whenever you need to.

      Finish what you start

      Listing all your tasks is only half the job, but finishing what you start is another thing entirely. To make your way through your tasks, it’s important to foster a sense of accomplishment. This can give you an extra push when you need it most.

      Focus on what’s important

      Getting lost in your to-do lists is a constant possibility. That’s why focusing on the most important tasks will be essential if you want to stay on track. So, determine what tasks demand your attention now and which ones can wait until later.

      Do quick tasks immediately

      If your to-do list is overwhelming you, the best way to take control is to find the quickest tasks and do them immediately. 

      Module 6: Paper and paperless storage

      Completely doing away with paperwork is impossible, even in the "paperless" age. There will always be paper receipts, invoices, cards, and business letters. So, it’s important to keep everything properly filed and stored. 

      Module six’s organization classes will teach you how to apply the principle of keeping things organized to your storage, whether you’re mostly paperless or use an old filing system. 

      Find a system that works for you

      The secret to using an organization method is finding a system that works for you. So, whether or not you go paperless, find an approach that best matches your needs. Below are a few things you should think about when deciding what system to use:

      • Where do I keep my information?

      • Do I keep physical things or electronic versions?

      • If I store paper, do I have space?

      • If I store paperless, do I have access?

      Make it consistent

      Once you find a system that works for you, stick to it. Being consistent makes it easier to stay organized because, eventually, it means that organizing becomes second nature.

      Make it time-sensitive

      It's not enough to keep your important files or documents stored for safekeeping. You also need to remember that every piece of information is connected to a timeline. To make organizing files more comprehensive, you should consider filing them based on dates and deadlines.

      Setting up archives

      The next step is to set up an archive for any documents you might need in the future. The key here is to establish a reference system that allows you to sort through these documents when you do finally need them again. 

      Module 7: Organization in your work area

      In this module of your organizational skills training, you will learn how to form good habits and use valuable techniques to increase your productivity and improve your project management. These are key in leadership development. 

      Keeping items within arm’s reach

      Being organized doesn’t just help you keep track of everything – it also makes you more efficient. By keeping items within arm’s reach, you can save yourself valuable time that can be spent on other, more important tasks. 

      Only have current projects on your desk

      Drawing on the clutter control work we did earlier in the training course, this section will help you keep your workspace tidy and well organized. It does so by explaining the benefits of only keeping projects you’re currently working on in your work area. 

      To keep your desk organized, ask yourself:

      • When does this project need to be finished?
      • Is this something that can be completed later?
      • Has this already been completed?

      Arranging your drawers

      One way of organizing your drawers is to determine how their contents relate to your everyday routine.

      Organize to match your workflow

      Plan and organize your workspace according to how you use items. Follow the tips below to get a better idea of how to organize your workflow:

      • Decide what tools you will need for the day.
      • Determine if additional supplies may be needed.
      • Try to focus on one project or set of tasks each day. Don’t attempt to mix in other to-dos.

      Module 8: Tools to fight procrastination

      Procrastination is one of the leading causes of disorganization. How many times have you been guilty of making excuses and putting off tasks until later? 

      In this module, we take a look at the different tools and habits that will help you stop procrastinating sooner rather than later. Not only is this a great organizational skill, but it can also really help with stress management. 

      Eat that frog

      This expression advises us to finish our least favorite task first. That way, all the tasks that come after won’t seem as bad. 

      Remove distractions

      Even with a comprehensive task list, there will always be distractions that make you lose focus or even stop working entirely. But, by identifying all possible distractions, you can make a mental note to stay away from them and stick to your workflow instead. 

      Give yourself a reward

      Rewards are a great way to congratulate yourself on a job well done. They don’t have to be big, either. Start with small rewards such as giving yourself a break or getting a snack when you tick a task off your to-do list.

      Break up large tasks

      Often, even when we think we only have a few items on our to-do list, we find that those tasks contain several smaller tasks within them. This can be frustrating and overwhelming. So, try and avoid the trap of miscalculating the time it will take to finish a big task and aim to start small and start early. 

      Module 9: Organizing your inbox

      Your email inbox is the virtual counterpart of your filing cabinet or document drawer. An advantage of today’s email systems is that they contain tools that can automatically sort and organize your messages. You should put these tools to good use because when your inbox is in order, it will be far easier to stay on top of the information you need. Some of the most efficient tools include: 

      • Setting delivery rules.
      • Folder and message hierarchies.
      • Flagging and highlighting important items.

      Module 10: Avoid the causes of disorganization

      In this part of the organizational skills training course, we will discuss the causes of disorganization and how to avoid it. Then, we discuss action plans that can help us to stay organized and make organization a part of our day-to-day habits. This makes it much easier to avoid giving in to the reasons for disorganization. 

      Keeping everything

      Some of us are guilty of hoarding. We keep everything because of the slight chance that some documents or items might be needed in the future. But, in reality, saving every single document only leads to disorganization, especially expired items and paperwork. 

      Not being consistent

      Being consistent leads to positive behavior and helps us to turn good habits into second nature. However, it can sometimes be all too easy to return to our earlier, more disorganized habits. It usually starts with forgetting simple things like removing distractions and then, before we know it, we’re back to our old ways. 

      Not following a schedule

      For many people, not sticking to some sort of routine or schedule can cause them to become disorganized and procrastinate. So, create schedules that provide structure and can be flexible enough to accommodate any emergencies. 

      Bad habits

      Sometimes, bad habits become natural and, as such, we fail to recognize them for what they are. The first step to breaking them is to identify them and make a conscious decision to change. 

      Module 11: Discipline is the key to staying organized

      Becoming more organized isn’t something that happens overnight. It takes hard work, discipline, and good habits to stay on the path of good organization. This is why the process can seem overwhelming at times. But, it is far from impossible. 

      Use some of the following techniques and management strategies and you will find that it is far easier to stick to the skills you learn throughout your organizational skills training course. These are a few of the final steps that you’ll need to take towards becoming a professional organizer who can always be relied upon to keep tasks in check and hit deadlines. 

      • Stay within your systems.
      • Learn to say ‘no.’
      • Make organization a part of your everyday life.
      • Start planning for tomorrow today.
