Our financial well being depends on our paycheck, and our mental and emotional well-being depends in part on having a well-organized life.

But a few simple changes in your life can show you how to stay motivated until you succeed.

With so many demands being placed upon us, it becomes confusing as to where to place our priorities. Somewhere along way, in midst of all uncertainties of our lives, we tend to lose our sense of motivation and instead choose path of least resistance - procrastination.

Here are a few tips to get your life organized so you can become motivated until you succeed:

1. For most of us, a job is our means of financial support and contributes to our physical, mental and emotional health as well, so quitting your job is not an option for most.

The trick is to balance your job with your home life. This can be a challenging task but you can begin by cutting your workday to eight or nine hours a day to allow yourself more time at home.

If making changes in number of hours you work is not possible for you, try simplifying in other areas to give you more time, energy and money; that is, if you live simply, you'll not need as much money.

2. Even taking simplest steps can reward you with more time and less stress. Such as changing your expectations of others (one less thing to worry about), dropping call waiting feature on your telephone, and having simple holidays without much fuss or spending a lot of money.

It is counterproductive to concentrate on so many tasks that you cannot accomplish them and may cost you time and energy with no results. Many people seem to spend a lot of time and energy only to achieve very few results.

You can learn how to stop procrastinating and achieve success in all you do if you learn appropriate time management and organizational skills.

Here are 10 keys to beating procrastination:

1. Working efficiently requires much less energy than tackling several tasks at once and never completing any of them.

You can more effectively manage your time if you make a list each day of every task you need to complete in order of importance.

Finish each task before starting on next.

Organizational and time management skills will reduce your level of stress and increase your productivity.

2. Problems and demands can seem overwhelming at times and leave you feeling overburdened and out of control. The proper time management tools, including a to do list, will help you keep your priorities in order and give you a plan to follow each day.

3. If your tasks seem large, break them into individual components until they seem more manageable. With a precise plan you can eliminate most of problems you face during day and gain a feeling of pride and accomplishment when you see a noticeable difference in your productivity level.

4. Procrastination tends to leave you with a feeling of frustration and a sense of never finishing anything no matter how hard you work.
