Does this sound like you?

I can never find my homework.

Why is there never enough time in the day to do everything I need to do?

How can I possibly get to my next class in 5 minutes?

Im always late in the morning because I can never find the clothes I want to wear.

I dont do as well as I want on assignments because I always seem to forget to do

some part of it

I get myself or other people stressed out because Im always forgetting where I put
things, times when things are happening, or what Im supposed to be doing.

The 3-Step Plan to all

Organizational Tasks
Analyze
Strategize
Attack

Step 1: Analyze
Identify whats working and whats not
Identify what is essential with the space,
assignment, or task that you are organizing

Step 2: Strategize
Estimate the time it will take to do the organization

Step 3: Attack
The approach here will depend on which
organizational problem you are
attacking. This could include:
Space or physical possessions (i.e. MP3 collection,
your bedroom closet)
A task or assignment (i.e. an English essay)
Organizing your time (over a day, a week, a month)

Do you need to spend money

to be organized?

Everyone has a different organizational style, and for some students, having
organizational stuff seems to help them want to be and stay organized

In Summary

Organizational skills are not genetic we all have to work at them

throughout our life

The time it takes to get organized is worth it it saves you both time
and stress in the long run

There is no one size fits all organizational system it truly has to

complement your interests and tendencies

Good organization requires maintenance for it to be effective

youre never really done organizing your space, time, or work
