Staying Organized: A Less Stressful School Life
It is extremely important to stay organized for so many things in life. Whether it’s school or a job, an organized life is a less stressful one—even if it’s just an inch less. You’ll manage your time better, and it’ll be easier to stay on top of everything (especially your assignments).
One way to manage your time is to create a schedule. Every day won’t be the same, and there will be times when you won’t be able to stick to it, but it’s helpful to have one. Calendars are also especially useful—I use two different calendars!
Create a to-do list and organize your priorities in order of importance. In your to-do list, include everything you need to do that day. Pick the things that will affect you and your life the most and place them at the top.
As for class notes, you can have separate notebooks for each course you are taking (though this might be expensive), use a binder and dividers, or use folders (either physical or digital).
Lastly, you can’t forget your surrounding space. Although every person is different, it’s often difficult to stay focused and concentrated when your surroundings aren’t tidy (that includes noise too). Have a designated, organized, and quiet place to work away!
