When everyone is moving in the same direction it's easier to get things done. It's easier to perform when you've got all the resources you need. It's easier to get things done when everyone you need in your corner is supportive and pulling for you. So unless you prefer to do things the hard way organising is an essential skill to have. It's a learned skill so anyone, with a little help and practice can become organised!

1. Start with a Plan: Resourceful, organised people always have a plan. Ask yourself what do I need to accomplish? What's the timeline? What resources are needed? Who wins if I win, who might lose? Lay out the work that needs to be done from A-Z. People are seen as disorganised because they don't write the sequence or parts of the work to be done and then leave something out. Have others check your plan so you don't fall victim to that.
2. Set goals and measures: Once you've got a plan set out some goals and measures to implement your plan. This will enable you and others to track your progress against the goals. It also helps you to manage your cool when you've got a number of balls in the air.
3. Rally the support you need: Share your mission and goals with the people you need to support you and ask for their input - people who are asked tend to cooperate more than people who aren't asked.
4. Delegate: What parts can you delegate to others? If you can delegate some tasks you'll need to communicate your expectations clearly and then leave people to get on with it - micromanaging sends a signal that you don't trust the other person to perform to your standards.
5. Learn from organised people: Find someone in your environment that's good at organising people and things. What or how do they do it? How does it compare with what you do typically?
6. Celebrate your success: when you achieve your goals or reach certain milestones don't forget to celebrate; if others were also involved share your successes - this will make it easier for you go back to them the next time you need help!
