Organization can be very hard to keep up, I think we’ve all been there. Within this blog post I will go over a few different ways to stay organized. 

1. I like to color code my planner at the end of each term, and then plan out for the next eight weeks for class, and for life in general. 

a. What day do I have class. 

b. When homework is due. 

c. What days I work, or get paid. 

2. The next organizational tip is to keep a journal to write down your thoughts. This will help keep your mind clear and stay focused on the things you can control versus the things you can’t. 

a. I like to keep a brain dump page in my journal to help clear my mind. I start with a blank page with the title ‘Brain Dump’ with the time and date underneath it. 

b. Then in little blips write down everything that you are thinking about and circle them to end the thought. 

3. Lastly your planner and your journal should be a reflection of you and creative. ( I like to get stamps and ink and then I go wild). Youtube can be very helpful to set up a page and have your pages more of what you like. 

I hope this is helpful, when you are getting ready to plan for classes or life in general. I know this is helpful for me. If you have any questions you can email me at library@rmcad.edu.
