5 Tips on How to Stay Organised for School

September is officially here, aka back-to-school. We just need to accept the fact that the majestic summer is now over and be ready for school! Being organised is key when you're attending school especially in the first few weeks. It can really make a massive difference whether it's your mood or the progress of your learning, which is pretty important if you're moving onto Secondary Schools or higher years. So, the list down below is my opinions on what you can do to keep yourself organised throughout the year. 

1) Diary/Planner/Notebook

If your school provides you with a free planner, excellent! If they   don't, well a diary or a planner will be your best friend for the         whole school year. Having a planner is what's going to keep you     the organised the most, since it allows you to note down and keep   in track of the due dates for your homework or events that will be   occurring. In addition to this, having a notebook is as well crucial   not only to your organisation but your learning too. It's where         you're going to record down all the notes and the important           information you've acquired from your lessons. You don't have to   get something expensive and fancy-pantsy, just get one that's           affordable, and what your heart desires.

   

2) Timetable 

Always look after your timetable as if it's a piece of treasure!           Because forgetting what lessons you have particularly in the first     few weeks is inevitable. Therefore, your timetable will be your       greatest assistant as it shows you the lessons you have to make       sure you're never late! I suggest you keeping your timetable             somewhere that is easy to reach for but somewhere that is also       safe. For example, you can keep it in your inside blazer pocket, or   a zipped pocket on the outside of your bag.   

3) NO Procrastination 
Procrastination is a part of our human nature and is something we   bound to experience at some stage of our lives and it's                     exceedingly normal.If you do struggle with procrastination, I           advice you to write down the list of things you must accomplish       either on a post-it note or set it as a reminder on your phone. As a   result, the tasks you need to do will be completed with a lot more   effort and consideration, since you didn't rush. Honestly, from my   own personal experiences, getting things out of the way earlier       can really relief you can leaves you with so much less stress. For     example, if you know your approximate exam dates, revise a           month or even earlier beforehand can help you to achieve the         grades you're content with rather than leave it all to revise the         night before.

4) Organise Your Bag the Night Before.

A fantastic way to avoid being late to your lesson in the morning     is to pack your bag the night before you go to sleep. Therefore,       even if your're late in the morning, you don't have to worry about   packing your bag, which then saves you a ton of time to get             ready. If you're like me, you're anxious of what you might have       left out during your packing process, you can always make a list     of items you wanted to bring and check in the morning. 

5) Keep Your Stationary in One

Some of you might be too lazy to bring a pencil case with you to     school, but having a pencil case for you is essential for you to be   able to keep all your stationary safe and organised. Letting them       loose in your bag can increase the chance of them staining your       books, clothes or your bag. You don't want that to happen, do           you...?
