Recognize & Organize

The first step to being an organized person is being able to recognize when something is not organized. I usually have my dear friends let me know if my life/room/stuff is not organized. Over the years I've developed a good eye for things that need organization.

The first tool I use for organization is my calendar.

I record all of my homework assignments and weekly events in this 8.5in by 11in calendar book. I use a highlighter to highlight different activities - blue for school, green for work, pink for extracurricular. I also have a back up calendar on my computer.

I have a lot of papers. A LOT of papers. I organize these in a trusty little Mead binder.

This trusty gem carries all the material I receive in my classes. It has section dividers for each class; without it I would be as lost as an easter egg.

Organization is the key to success, its as simple as that.
