Staying Organized

With the transition to online learning, staying organized is going to be difficult. Here are three quick tips to keeping yourself organized with this new platform!

1. Keep a Planner

When you’re working from home, it can be easy to forget what time, day, or even week it is. Keeping a planner and updating it daily is vital for keeping track of due dates and schedules. When you don’t have a regular class schedule, it’s important to keep a planner so that you know when your Zoom meetings are, when your assignments are due, and how that fits in with the rest of your schedule.

There are so many online planner resources if you prefer to do it on your phone or computer; otherwise, Amazon has excellent planner options as well.

2. Continue to Use a School Bag

I know it sounds kind of strange to use a bag when you’re staying home all day, but hear me out. If you still keep all of your stuff in your bag, not only have you contained the mess of schoolwork that you have, but you now know where everything is and can work from different places in your home. I don’t know about you, but I find that a change in scenery (even if it’s just moving from my bedroom to the living room) makes me so much more efficient when it comes to getting work done.

3. Keep Your Work-Space Clean

Wherever you work, keep it clean. If you can minimize the distractions in your workspace, you’ll get more done and will be able to stay more organized. Your desk might be the only clean place in your home, but at least it’s organized, which will increase your efficiency.
