Organizing by Learning/Sensory Preferences
​and Action Style Preferences



Learning and utilizing strong, effective organizational skills  is not  one-size-fits-all.  Most people  use a combination of styles with one learning/sensory style usually preferred and strongest.  What is your learning/sensory style preference?  How do you usually perceive, organize and recall information?  Are you a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner? 


Visual Learners:  "Let me see"
  • process information through their eyes
  • make up 65% of the population
  • useful tools:  written communications, notes, color-coding information, graphs, charts, tables, maps, Illustrations, pictures, demonstrations, videos, flash cards, highlighting, underlining, writing things down and reviewing notes

Auditory Learners:  "Let me hear"
  • process information through their ears
  • make up about 30% of the population
  • useful tools:  class lectures, audio tapes, telephones, voicemail, tape recorders, alarms, explanations and spoken word, singing, quiet place to study or background noise to study; limiting distracting noises; studying by reading class notes and reciting information out loud, teaching others

Kinesthetic Learners: "Let me do"
  • process information by doing (touch/skin; taste/mouth; smell/nose)
  • make up about 10% of the population
  • useful tools:   hands on activities for learning, exploring, working; movement and frequent breaks, stress ball or toy while working; underlining and highlighting; writing information down to learn, acting out concepts, constructing models



What is your action style preference?  Are you a sprinter or a jogger? 
Source:  Wilma Fellman

Sprinters:  
  • tend to do most of the work in one long session
  • then ignore the project for days or weeks 
  • and finally complete it right before the deadline

Joggers:  
  • do a little bit each day until the project is complete
  • will often finish well before the due date

​
                      There are many different ways to be organized! Energize and Organize works with you
           and your preferred learning/sensory style and action style to 
accomplish your organizing goals!
