Getting organized doesn’t have to be hard. It can even be
fun – fun to see the mess disappear! And it’s easier
to manage schoolwork when you’re organized. That means more
free time and better grades.
Wow! How cool is that?
- Start with “stuff”.
Things like old homework papers are easy to sort if you use the “touch
it once” rule. As you sort out your papers, decide whether
each paper is a keeper, or should be tossed. Keep only things that
will help you later – for example, handouts you need for
a test.
- The most important part of
managing your study time is to be consistent. Set a homework
time for each
day and stick to it. Your brain will be ready to work when
study time rolls around.
- Study even when you have no
homework. Review your notes or read a new book.
- Take a short break after studying
for 20 minutes. You’ll remember more and have more energy.
- Using flash cards is the best
way to remember facts. You can carry them in your pocket.
Practice everything from math facts to vocabulary just about
anywhere – on
the school bus, or right before a test.
