Tip 2: Stay Organized (BTS series)

Hey guys! So it's only my second week of school and I already have a ton of homework, but it's a lot less stressful because I've learned how to be orginized (sort of :P). Even though you probably already know how important it is to have organization skills, especially if you have 6 or 7 classes like I do, here are a couple of my tips for staying organized at school. Please remember that although I can be over organized at times, I'm not a pro, so you can definetly alter these to fit your needs.

✎ Tip #1: Color Code

This is something that can be done beyond average or below average. By this I mean that you can pick a color for every subject you're taking, and buy binders, folders, highlighters, etc. that are that color, or you can simply get a different colored binder/folder for each class. If everything is the same color it will take longer for you to find what you need, and may get confusing. Having different colored materials for each subject can be really helpful.

✎ Tip #2: Get a Planner

This is probably one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Getting a planner is sooooo

incredibly helpful. You write down what you need to do, and you'll never forget your homework! Just cross off what you've done, and do what you haven't - it's brilliant!

✎ Tip #3: Let Go of the Everything Folder

I know it's hard, but you must let go. Having an "everything" folder, or a folder where all your papers go, will not help you be organized. It's kind of like an excuse to not have binders and such, however the point of binders and special folders is to make things easy on you. There are lots of papers you'll get in work, or high school, and you don't want to lose them. So it's time to say goodbye to the folder.

✎ Tip #4: Dates

Okay I know this sounds pointless, but put the dates on your papers. It's really simple, but this way you'll always know what was given when. Some of teachers actually ask for you to put the date on things, so this way you'll already be ahead. This also helps if you're looking for something in a binder full of papers. Try it :)

✎ Tip #5: Have an Organized Backpack

Some people bring bags, others bring backpacks, (like me). Regardless, you should keep it clean and organized. This means get rid of wrappers, broken pencils, etc. Backpacks are heavy enough without the added junk, and this way it will be easier to find what you need.

Well those all of the things that I do to keep organized. Thanks for reading so far down, and leave me a comment if I helped you! We would love to get to know you guys! Ash will be posting this Friday, so don't forget to come back for that!
