Staying Organized

In high school it's important as ever to STAY ORGANIZED.  It will help you find things faster, work faster, and it will most likely improve your grades as well, because it will ensure that you know what the homework is each night, and you know when to study for quizzes and tests that may be coming up. Here are some tips for staying organized in high school:
1. Use a planner or an agenda to make sure you get the homework for each night down and make sure to write down important dates like tests or quizzes.
2. Keep all of your papers filed away in binders or folders so you can access things without taking time to search your backpack for each individual paper.  It may also help to keep your papers in the order of when you got it so you can pull out the most recent papers quickly.
3. If it helps, keep some alerts on your phone or other electronic devices that you check often so you never miss out on something important.
4. It will help to keep a schedule of when you will do things. Especially on a project, if you have smaller goals for yourself to meet, there is no risk of finding yourself working on a project at 4 in the morning the day it is due.

Staying organized can help a lot in your life down the road as well.  Employers will like workers who can stay organized and your life will be better that way. Good Luck and stay organized!
