Learning Self-Organization & Self-Optimization
Learning Self-Organization & Self-Optimization
To get started with the topics of self-organization and self-optimization, it's important to first understand the goals behind the concepts and what distinguishes them from each other.
Self-Organization vs. Self-Optimization: Differences
Although self-organization and self-optimization have similar ideas behind them, the methods also differ in some points:
| Self-Organization | Self-Optimization | |
| Goal Orientation | Self-organization usually arises to reduce workload. | A person sets specific goals and actively works to achieve them. |
| Support | Self-organization is generally based on a person's own abilities; external support is not used. | For self-optimization, external feedback (e.g., from mentors, supervisors, coaches) is helpful. |
| Awareness | Self-organization often occurs automatically and intuitively, but it can be improved through targeted strategies. | To optimize oneself, a high degree of awareness and a focused engagement with one's own personality are necessary. |
Advantages of Self-Optimization and Self-Organization
In Which Areas is Self-Organization Important?
In Which Areas is Self-Organization Important?
Working and planning in a more organized and optimized way has many advantages, whether in a professional, academic, or private context.
Self-Organization at the Workplace
It is obvious that organization is important at the workplace. With good self-organization in the office, you can make optimal use of your working hours, avoid stress, and complete tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. This makes you a reliable employee, which can positively affect your career opportunities. At the same time, good organization improves your standing with your colleagues, and other team members will enjoy working with you.
Self-Organization in the Home Office
Many people love working from home. In contrast, for some people, it is also very difficult to establish the necessary structure and organization to be as effective as in the office. Self-organization helps to maintain productivity in the home office and to avoid procrastination. It is also necessary to create the required separation between professional and private life in the home office – for example, by clearly defining work and leisure time.
Self-Organization in Studies
Especially in studies, efficient self-organization is of great importance. Particularly in stressful situations like the exam period, it helps you to set priorities, create time for effective learning, and meet deadlines, for example, for term papers or final theses. Good self-management in studies also helps to balance university, leisure time, and a possible part-time job without stress.
Self-Organization in Private Daily Life
In private life, too, self-organization helps to get the most out of every single day, maintain a good work-life balance, enjoy as much free time as possible, and stay fit and healthy. Good organization can help you to integrate enough time for doctor's appointments, sports, and healthy eating into your daily routine, for example, by creating cleaning, cooking, or shopping plans.

Self-Organization with a Notebook
Taking handwritten notes helps the brain to think in a more structured way, process information, and store it. Especially when it comes to organizing yourself better, a classic notebook is a good choice. Here you can flexibly and individually enter and display appointments, deadlines, to-do lists, brainstorming sessions, notes, and much more. Furthermore, keeping a notebook can also be fun and become a real hobby, for example with Bullet Journaling or Sketchnotes.
Keeping a Calendar
Besides a notebook, a calendar is also a classic tool for bringing structure to your everyday life. It supports you in daily planning and helps to organize appointments. This way, you won't miss any important meetings and you'll find it easier to meet deadlines.
Creating a To-Do List
Do you have a lot to do and quickly lose track of your appointments, deadlines, and tasks? A to-do list (task list) can help. It can serve as a priority list: You can immediately see which tasks have the highest urgency, and you can make the necessary decisions to work through your tasks in a meaningful order. Depending on your personal preferences, you can create the checklists in your calendar or notebook, or manage them using apps or software on your phone and laptop.
Learning Time Management
The foundation of self-organization and self-optimization is good time management. This refers to the ability to use one's time as efficiently and effectively as possible. However, it is a learning process – very few people have these skills without training them. It is important that you find out when you are most productive and then use this time intensively. This way, you can increase your own productivity – for better performance and less stress.
