8 Tips to Help You Survive the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce

3. Get Organized

One of the most devastating effects of a divorce is the wrench it throws into all of your life plans, both big and small. Keeping yourself organized is a wonderful way to beat back the waves of depression. Not only will it help you keep all of your tasks in line, ensuring they get accomplished and providing you with a sense of accomplishments.

This can be accomplished in a number of ways. Organization can be as simple as a monthly organization whiteboard for the refrigerator.

This will allow you to mark down significant upcoming events for each day of the month, keeping them at the forefront of your mind.

For those who rely on their smart devices, use the calendar, task, and reminder tools available on every smartphone or tablet to digitize your organization.

Using smart devices allows you to store a lot more information than a whiteboard and makes it possible for your device to send you reminders a week, a day, or a few hours in advance to help keep you on track.

Remember that there is no task worth leaving off an organizational list. Tasks can be paying the bills, remembering upcoming events, and even organizing your kid’s activities to help keep your life simpler.
