Life as a student is busy. If you\u2019re not organized and you feel like you\u2019re not on top of things, stress can build up. You might end up working late and sleeping less to try to catch up, but this isn\u2019t a good habit. Getting organized for school is all about developing good habits and systems. We have some simple tips that will help you become organized, productive, and effective.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Develop a routine
\n<\/strong>Consistency is the key to student success. So create your general weekly schedule on your LG Ultra-light Notebook<\/a> from Buydig.com and stick with a routine. Include things like when you\u2019ll do your homework, when you\u2019ll review the things you\u2019ve learned, when you\u2019ll exercise, and so on. It\u2019s not possible to stick to a routine 100% of the time, but at least set up the framework to keep you focused and on track.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Set rules for yourself
\n<\/strong>Set some very specific rules for yourself. These could be things like \u201ccomplete all projects and assignments at least two days before they are due\u201d or \u201cstart studying for tests at least one week in advance\u201d. Don\u2019t treat the actual deadline as the deadline. Set your own deadline one or two days before, and plan accordingly. You\u2019ll also be more likely to submit your best work.<\/p>\n

Write everything down
\n<\/strong>Put everything in your planner: homework, test and exam dates, family events, social events, etc. This way, you\u2019ll be far more organized. Use Google Calendar, Google Keep, or MyStudyLife to keep your schedule right at your fingertips on your phone, laptop<\/a> or tablet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nUse the following websites and apps
\n<\/strong>Test out the following websites and apps to make studying fun, keep you organized, and remove distractions:<\/p>\n

Habitica
\n<\/strong>Habitica is an app that turns your goals into a fun game. It makes it more likely that you\u2019ll stick to your goals and enjoy the process too.<\/p>\n

MyStudyLife
\n<\/strong>This app replaces a planner and helps you organize your schedule, tasks and exam preparation. It also sends you reminders of upcoming events.<\/p>\n

KeepMeOut
\n<\/strong>This online tool prevents you from visiting distracting websites too often. It will help you concentrate while you\u2019re working.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Declutter once a week
\n<\/strong>At the end of each week, look through all the papers, notes, brochures, and other things you\u2019ve accumulated on your desk and inside your backpack<\/a> from Buydig.com. Recycle or throw away all the things you don\u2019t need. Clutter attracts clutter. So if you declutter once a week, you\u2019ll be more likely to stay organized in general. You\u2019ll also find it easier to stay focused.<\/p>\n

The two-minute rule
\n<\/strong>If a task takes two minutes or less to do, do it immediately. When you follow this rule, small tasks don\u2019t pile up and become overwhelming. Things like texting a friend, sending your classmate some information via email, or asking your parents to sign a consent form are all quick tasks that take less than two minutes to complete. When you do these tasks immediately, you\u2019ll feel a sense of achievement too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you want to be productive, use a timer to help you focus. Using a timer adds a sense of urgency. Try working in blocks of 30 to 40 minutes, followed by a short break. If you\u2019re up for it, set a timer for your breaks too, so that you don\u2019t take a 45-minute break when you only intended to take a 10-minute break.<\/p>\n

These tips might leave you feeling overwhelmed, especially if you\u2019re not already an organized student. So take one step at a time. Start by identifying which areas you need to work on, and then prioritize them. Adopt one new habit in the coming week. Once you\u2019re comfortable with that habit, adopt one more. Start making progress toward becoming an organized and focused student today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
