Streamline Your Life: The Ultimate Guide to Creating Effective Systems

Life can be overwhelming and stressful at times, especially if we don't have a clear plan of action. As a life coach, and founder of Self-Made U, I develop and now teach systems as a simple way to creating any result in your life. Creating systems is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress levels and operate  your life from, in a more intentional way. In this article, we will explore various methods and tools to help you create effective systems that will streamline your personal and professional life.

Identifying Areas of Your Life That Need Simplification

The first step in simplifying your life is to DECIDE which areas of your life are causing stress or inefficiency. These could be anything from household chores to work-related tasks. Once you have identified these areas, you can start to create systems to make them more manageable.

The Benefits of Creating Systems

Creating systems can have numerous benefits. Firstly, it can save time by reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks. Secondly, it can reduce stress levels by creating a sense of order and control. Thirdly, it can help you achieve your goals more efficiently by breaking them down into smaller, manageable tasks that are easy to remember and repeatable. 

Tools and Techniques for Creating Systems

There are several tools and techniques you can use to create effective systems. One such tool is the Pomodoro technique, which involves breaking work into 25-minute intervals with 5-minute breaks in between. Another useful tool is Trello, which is a project management tool that allows you to create boards and cards to organize tasks. I've used Trello for personal and professional projects for well over 10 years with great success and ease. The final technique is creating a framework for your system that resonates with you and your audience. Self-Made U teaches every student a simple 4 part system that has unlimited personal and professional application. By utilizing the framework or acronym SELF we can more easily teach students how to Self-coach, Eliminate obstacles, Leverage prodigy brain strengths, and Forge intentional results. Utilizing this simple system creates a sense of self-control that will drive the results students want most. 

Creating a Morning Routine

Having a morning routine is one of the most effective ways to start your day off on the right foot. This can include things like meditation, exercise, reading or self-coaching. By having a routine in place, you can create a sense of SELF control and reduce stress levels.

Creating a Meal Plan

Meal planning is an effective way to simplify your life and increase energy levels. By planning your meals in advance, you can save time and money, and ensure that you are eating healthy, nutritious meals. Making a decision ahead of time reduces decision fatigue and bad choices that you'll later regret. Spontaneity is overrated when it comes to creating metabolic and mental health. 

 Creating a Cleaning Schedule

Cleaning can be a time-consuming and overwhelming task. By creating a cleaning schedule, you can break down tasks into manageable chunks and ensure that your home stays clean and organized. The benefits of  a tidy environment can not be understated. The system I use (delegating to the right person with clear expectations) results in reduced distractions, increased productivity, improved mood, and strengthened relationships. Our home is not only the place we reside but all four family members use our home as a coworking space, so as you can imagine, clutter and disorganization can have disasterous effects on our harmonious goals. 

As you can see, I am a huge fan of systems. Creating systems is one of the most effective ways to simplify your life, reduce stress levels and create a sense of SELF control. By identifying and deciding on the areas of your life that need simplification and using tools and techniques to create effective systems, you can streamline your life and achieve your goals more efficiently. By implementing the suggestions in this article, you can create a more organized, efficient, and stress-free life.
