There seems to be a tendency amongst students to be a bit disorganized. Who can blame us? With an obscene amount of papers coming in, different notes from different classes and every piece of scrap in between - it's bound to be a mess! Luckily there are easy steps to follow. Nothing a to do list and the right mindset can't fix.
The definite first step towards organized success is having a to do list. The moment you think of something that has to be done, write it down. Arrange your to do list in order of urgency. This way you will get everything done. Nothing is as satisfactory as ticking another task off.
The second pro tip for getting your life organized: tidy up as you go. The moment after you have used something, paper or pens...whatever it may be, put it back in it's original place immediately after use. This way your life will constantly stay tidy.
One word: FILE! An easy organizational tip is to have a specific file for each subject. This way you can file all notes and tests. It is an instant way to completely declutter your desk. Another satisfactory feeling is having all your academic material in one place. Your studying will also be more productive.
Make your diary your best friend. As soon as you hear about an upcoming test or assignment, write it in on the applicable date. Once it is written down, you can plan your studying time and everything in between around these dates.
Sticky notes and coloured pens are a great motivator. Use sticky notes as a marker between your study material. Either as an indicator of importance or as in indicator of the amount of work you want to study within a specific time frame. Use the coloured pens or highlighters to spice up the work. Colour or pictures can make even the most boring subjects exciting to study.
There you have it - follow these simple methods and your life will be organized an productive in no time. You're good to go, girl.
