4. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE:

Looking for a misplaced item exudes time, stress, and energy.
Have a designated place for everything so that when you need it,
you know exactly where it is.

5. MULTITASK MIND:

For times when you have to run errands or even just leave the
room for something, double up and do several things in one trip. If
you need to go pay a bill, go pay it and stop at the store on the way
back to pick up the gallon of milk you need. When you get up to use
the restroom, check the room. Is there anything that needs to be put
away? Take it with you.

6. PENDING PLACE:
There are always things that come up but you do not have the
time or ability to deal with on the spot. Designate a specific place
for these things. Use a file, a box, a shelf, or whatever works but
keep it in the same place so it does not distract you from the task or
waste time looking for it when you are ready to deal with it. This is
something you need for both works and at home.
7. TWO THINGS:
To avoid out of control situations, pick two things every day to
get rid of, or eliminate. If you have an empty box sitting in the
corner, break it down and throw it in the recyclables. If you are
trying to cut down on soda, have half the amount you usually have.

8. PLANS OF ACTIONS:
You need a plan or a system for everything.
By creating systems, manuals, plans of action, and systematic
processes for as many aspects of your work as possible, it enables
you to easily repeat processes. This frees up your brain, which in
turn deters stress and promotes creativity.

I hope this step helps you to improve organized planning.
