Tip 1 - Boxes
I have on box for each of my subjects except Media which I
don’t have many folders for yet. These boxes are amazing and they came in lots
of different patterns and were 2 for £10 in the Works!
Tip 2 - An array of folders
Folders become your new best friend in sixth form. I started
the year with one folder for each subject then that got too big so changed to a
folder per two subjects then that go too big so changed to one folder per subject
then that got too big so now I have around 3 folders per subject.
Tip 3 - Pots to organise use desk
You can get really pretty pots to use on your desk and I may
change mine to more fancy ones soon. They are so useful and I even have one pot
on my bedside table so I can do homework without ever leaving my bed (Lazy
teenager tip!)
Tip 4 - White Board
This is great for writing important homework down so you
hopefully don’t forget to do it.
Tip 5 - Post it notes
Tip 6 - Colour coded stickers
I use these to colour code all my folders so if some get
mixed up I know what subject it belongs to.
Tip 7 - An endless supply of file dividers
You can never have enough of these! They help so much at
neatly separating your work out into sections.
Tip 8 - Phone calendar
This is an amazing invention! I find this more useful that a
school planner or wall calendar because I never check those as much as I check
my phone. Also you can make your phone ring out loud when there’s something
important that you need to remember.
I hope that at least one of these tips will be useful for you. I might keep reading this post in the future to make sure that I'm still sticking to these organisational ideas.
