My Top Tips for Organisation!

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought that I would do a blog post on my top tips for staying organised because I think that being organised is very important especially for things like school work. I find that if everything is organised and in its place then its so much easier to get things done. This is mainly to do with school work and making sure that everything is organised to make doing school work easier but it can also apply to everyday life as well.

Here are my essentials for staying organised:

• Post-it Notes 
• Folders
• File Dividers
• Highlighers 
• Sticky Labels
• A Pencil Case
• A Cork Board 
• A Small Whiteboard
• File Dividers

Of course there are more things that can be used for staying organised but these are the things that I think are essential especially when organising school work.

Here are my Top Tips for staying Organised:

• Write To-Do Lists
• File away work into labelled folders so you know where everything is and can easily find what you need
• Highlight key things in your folder so you know what is most important 
• Have a pencil case containing everything you need to ensure that you don't have to go searching for different things when you want to get on with your work
• Stick key things such as sheets and lists of key phrases on a cork board so you see them often.
• Prioritise things by deadline so that you have the most time possible for each task.
• Don't leave everything until the night before because this will cause you to get stressed and its much nicer to have gotten it out of the way.
• Use a small A4 sized whiteboard to write to-do lists on and wipe each task off as you get them done. It feels really good to see the list get smaller and smaller and you really feel as though you have achieved something.
• Use file dividers to split up your work by lesson, or units. You can get really good plastic ones that don't break like the paper ones do. This makes it really easy to find work quickly.
• Use sticky labels to label folders so you can easily find what you need.
• Stick post-it notes up with things you need to do or key phrases you need to learn.
• Find a place for everything and always put it back there when you're finished with it. this means that you will never lose anything.

These are all things that I do to try and stay as organised as possible. I find that being organised really reduces stress when it comes to school work and I suppose this applies in all aspects of life as well. I hope you have found these tips helpful. :)
