I've been crazy busy lately, so I figured I would share some tips that help me stay sane when school gets crazy!
First of all, one of the most important things would be to keep a binder, and keep it clean and organized!
If you notice, my tabs are separated by class and section. I create a new tab for each set of exam chapters/materials. It helps a lot with studying for exams.
Another tip is to hole punch and date every handout you get. It keeps things organized and easier to find. When it's dated, you can keep track of everything even when you miss a lecture.
Make sure your notes are legible and easy to understand. If you have sloppy handwriting when you write fast (like me), rewrite your notes. Not only will it make it easier to study, but by rewriting the information, it's easier to retain.
KEEP A PLANNER. My planner helps me keep school due dates and exam dates. It also keeps the rest of my life in order with tasks, appointments, meals, work out scheduling, and a lot more. Use colored pens and highlighters to make it colorful and organized with color-coding.
My planner has the day-by-day section on the left side, and an open page on the right. I separate my tasks by what aspect of my life they are from. (School, wedding planning, to-do/get, and work). It helps a ton in remembering what I need to accomplish that week.
Hope this helps some of you in keeping school stuff organized!
