Do you scramble to get assignments finished on time? Do you find that the more things you have to complete, and the more the pressure builds, the more likely you are to engage in time-wasting activities? Do you find that things you really want to engage in - such as that really good diet and exercise plan you just found online (you know the one that absolutely 100% guarantees success) constantly fall into that endless and timeless pit of "things I wanted to do"? Well, forget all that. That's the past. This is the now. It's a new day and a new chance to get your life in order. Nothing better than a new day to bring true inspiration!
If your organizational ability has been out of control in your past we can use that information to accurately predict that things are likely to always be out of control in your future. Pretty uncomplicated stuff isn't it? Do you want to see your long term future? Examine your history. Unless of course you decide that today is definitely the day to produce a change for yourself! You decide you'd love to get yourself super organized. You decide that you'd prefer to have a bunch of free time and get rid of all of that rushing, stress and worry? Does any of that seem good to you? I hope it does. We are going to take a look at some strategies you can actually put in place straight away to create a brand new organized you.
Get Control of Your Time
Just what exactly can you do to have total control of your time?
1. Use a weekly planner to write in when assignments are due and when any tests or exams are taking place. It's natural to forget when assignments, tests and exams are due so take the pressure off by writing it all down.
2. Discover the periods you feel you might be most efficient and arrange your study times around them. This may be in the early morning before school or perhaps late at night. Your peak performance time may not be when you think it is so start exploring when you have lots of energy.
3. Remember to keep on top of assignments and also other responsibilities from the beginning. Learning modest amounts throughout an entire week, the entire month or the entire semester is a far greater strategy than delaying all of your study for just one enormous dose at the end. To put it differently, 30 minutes per day for thirty days is better than fifteen hours in a row the day just before your assignment is going to be handed in!
Your Study Area
1. Always place items away whenever you are finished with them so you will know exactly where they are. This can help save you a lot of time later which you can use to complete extras (like mind mapping) or just create additional free time as a great bonus for being organized. Seinfeld re-runs anybody? A show about nothing you say? Surely you jest.
2. Ensure your study area is neat and tidy as well as a really happy place to be. Get rid of old food (and smelly clothes) and clear out the area of all well-known temptations (like that One Direction poster!) If you choose not to do this, you are going to undoubtedly discover that interruptions and distractions are just around the corner no matter how intensely you concentrate.
Plan Your Daily Life
All of us need and (I believe?) want a functioning social life so don't forget to have some fun as well!
1. Ensure you've got some time allocated to link up with other people every single day and arrange this time around your classes and study times (take note that we really don't suggest you arrange your study around your social life - it will need to be the other way around).
2. From time to time the "peak study hours" - time throughout free periods at school and in the first few hours right after classes are done for the day - get wasted away by conversation and also the blab component (as in you are squandering time with directionless and largely pointless gossip). After that you find yourself too worn out or uninspired to study.
Use To-Do Lists
1. Come up with lists of 3-5 items that allow you to easily visually identify what you'll need to complete to create the outcome you want. Write down the items and also their due dates.
2. Put the items on a bulletin board, the family fridge, in your rest room or in another space which you often pass by and will help to continuously remind you about your real concerns and just what you need to be focused on.
3. Tick the items off as you go. Human beings enjoy ticking important things off; it makes us very satisfied! Check!
4. If you can, put your schedule in to your mobile phone, your computer and your email planner and set up as many reminders as you can. This is extremely useful.
Ultimately organization is all about the wise allocation of your time. If you master that you will master organization. Good luck!
