Organization

For me last week was hectic with school. I had parts of a project due, two papers, and of course homework and studying. For the most part I'm a pretty neat and organized person. Some of my friends say I have O.C.D. with some things...and i can't really disagree. So this week I thought I would talk about staying organized with your school work, and even outside of school events and activities. For me personally, I love our school agenda books. I write EVERYTHING in that thing! It's seriously a life saver, because there are days where I'm so tired or just can't remember what I need to bring home that night, but because I write all of my assignments down, I usually never forget! Some of my friends who don't write their homework or upcoming quizzes or tests down tend to forget or have to be reminded of what it is that's due or what's happening later in the week. I'm not saying that the agenda book is the only way to remember your assignments, there's plenty of other ways to do so, but you have to find what works best for you. I also like to keep things in my room pretty organized as well. If I don't I tend to lose or misplace a lot of my stuff. I hate when I misplace things more than anything, so I try to stay as on top of things as I possibly can. If you can figure out a way of organization that works well for you than you're doing pretty good. I think a lot of us can get stressed out easily when we know we have a million things going on but can't think of them all at once. It gets to be a lot. Writing things down, using a calendar, your cell phone, computer, all these are great ideas when keeping organized. I promise that the overwhelming feeling you get the night before you have 3 tests in school will subside if you prepare yourself and know where all of your notes are to study with. You'll be able to review everything with no problem at all!
