People all have their pet organisational methods, which work for some, but not others, assuming you are advanced enough in school to choose your own organisational method you are old enough to decide for youself between what works and does not work *for you* here are some suggested options, additionally, your academic support center may be able to direct you to what will work best for you, also certain learning disabilities may interfere with organisational capacity (ADD/ ADHD, executive dysfunction etc..) if this is a significant problem, you may want to look into testing\n\nFor papers: Accordion folders, Binders(mulitple or one with several sections), or pocket folders\n\nFor Assignments: Weekly Charts, Planners, Desk Calanders, or Electronic organisers\n\nFor notes: Binder with three hole punced loose leaf, one notebook with sections, several notebooks, or legal pads

ONLY if u do ALL of ur homeowork, project and thing like that, Get to class on time, make sure u don't do projects epesically big on on the last day brefore u turn it in. Make sure when u check out library book from the school that u turn it in on the due date. Then i think u will get good grades and do good in school w/o going on the restrction list for too many taries or over due library book,ect. MAke sure to ask question if u don't get something and definatley listen 2 all of ur teacher no matter how boring they can be. Make sure u know and understand ur homework before u leave that class. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Also, another important thig is study for your test in else u know the material really well that u don't need to study like sicence for example, if u have hw from that calss and u hab a test tomorrow after the hw is do then you could not study b/c u hab hw to help u review.

Get an organizer it will give you a lot more room for you and you don't have to remember it just check it daily.

Me too! Make a time schedule for yourself and block out hours of the day to do things. Give yourself more time than you think you need to complete assignments. That should help. Also, find out how you focus: do you like constant background noise or no noise at all. That should help.I have ADHD and working with a consistent backgroud noise works for me.

there are many ways in which you can organize the information. you can organize it with a table, a graph, a chart, an outline, a web, etc. There are excellent websites which you can search on Yahoo! about organizing information. \nWORLD PEACE

Bulletin Boards:  daily schedule, calendar & announcements, math, reading, language arts/handwriting: cursive or manuscript, social studies, science, homework........examples of student work\n\nLesson Plan Book & Seating Chart: names of students\n\nYou can put the students in rows, or groups of 3 or 4 to work together with your guidance, or you can also have the desks together in the shape of the letter "V" so you can circulate and be accessible to them. This will also help you to maintain discipline because you can see the students and their desk tops. Try not to have a students' back to you or the board.\n\nWhiteboard: objectives, standards and assignment should be posted

Depends on yourself and your specific needs....I've gone through so many methods to get to where I am now. The classic way that is always helpful is to have a planner of somekind to write homework down in. If you do this, make sure you can read your writing, you write down all the relevant instructions, ans especially the due date. Though one of my best methods of keeping track of everything is to use my friends, but keep in mind asking one person doesn't mean they have the right answer. Its best to use some of both ways.\n\nAs for organizing stuff...I have a shelf at the foot of my bed where I keep all my school stuff...no room on my desk. (My backpack goes underneath along with PE clothes and stuff) On top I keep my books and notebooks. I have a file folder for each class, I found I got too lazy to keep puching holes in stuff or bothering to take my whole binder out of my backpack, the folder slides in and out better. \n\nFor remembering what you need in the morning, when I get home, or maybe later, I sometimes take a piece of paper and write down all my homework, highliting or somehow indicating stuff due the next day and stick it where I can see it (that depends on your room/where you do work)\n\nIt all depends on your laziness level and what works for you...experiment...but really writing it down and rembering to check your planner is one of the best ways to get started.

Well, you can try to have a time table to arrange between your work & play so that u will not miss out any of your homework. Your homework must be done for it helps you to understand better. You must also revise in a quiet and comfortable environment in order to learn more. If you don't know about something you can refer to your teacher or somebody that can help you. You must also exercise and relax between your study time. This makes you healthier thus you will be able to learn and understand easily. Don't give yourself too much stress. Try something with your ability. Slowly you will improve. You must have your target so that you can work hard towards it. It's only my opinion and there might be better ideas on how to study. Good luck;p

Make lists.  Organize everything so that you know what it is, where it is, and how to put your hands on it quickly.  The things you use most often should be the most accessible, and so on back to "deep storage."  The time it takes to get things organized the way a secretary would is time you will save a hundred times over when you are looking for something.\n\nMake lists.  Make to-do lists.  Put things on your calendar, and check them off once they are done.  Take advantage of the calendar and scheduling functions of your computer systems.  There are plenty of free downloads for this kind of thing; you don't need to spend money on it.\n\nNow, you have your lists.  You have them prioritized.  Then ask yourself, "What's the best use of my time right now."  Look at your to-do list.  If it cannot answer the question, then the best use of your time is re-prioritizing the to-do list.  Once some other task raises to the top of the list, get up and get it started.  Then what's the best use of your time after that?  (P.S. Sometimes the answer is "make a cup of tea and relax for five minutes.")

I highly recommend getting a day planner to keep track of assignments.  I am writing what worked for me here.\n\nGet a different binder for each class you are in (they don't have to be huge).  And some dividers.  I would seperate my notes from my homework.  I kept everything because a lot of the time if you study lecture notes and homework you will do well on exams.\n\nHighlighters are good things.  I used them to highlight my notes so I would know where new sections started and in my text books.  Don't sell back your book unless you have too.  I kept all of my chem and bio books and I actually use them at work.  I'd highlight theories and laws to make them easier to find.\n\nPens and pencils and paper.  Folders are nice to have too handouts.  And the little sticky flags are good for keeping track of where you are in a book or of the sections you need to study.  Post it notes were a lifesaver.  I could leave myself notes in my book or binders so when I went to study I could remind myself if I had problems or was looking for clarificaiton.\n\nGood luck in College!

It is good you are trying to get things together for yourself.\n\nTo get to school on time, prepare everything the night before. Have your clothes picked out, your breakfast picked out, your books in your backpack, etc.  Set your alarm clock and put it across the room so you will have to get out of bed to make it stop ringing.\n\nTo stay clean and neat, put away everything you used after you used it.  Don't leave school for the day if your thing are messy.  Tell your teacher you are trying to stay neat and clean and ask her if he or she can help you.\n\nGood job for trying to better yourself. You should be proud!

Hello,\n\nA PDA would help you a lot to do this. I would recommend you to use a PDA that has a mobile phone included too (a cell and a PDA is very difficult to carry both in the same time - every moment of the day).\nThe best software tool to organize yourself is Outlook. It helps me a lot!\n\nAfter all is not all about what kind of PDA or software you use, is just about using them correctly, or at least often enough!\n\nGood luck!

start making lists before bed of things you need to do the next day. Also, get a calendar with large spaces to write things in and start keeping a journal of interesting/important things that happen and when. You'll have this to look back on when you need to remember something and ya never know, you might just find out some interesting things about yourself in the process.

Don't miss class, whatever you do. Take notes DURING class, and look at them after class. Make study guides for yourself before each test. (This will help you to remember the material better than just reading it)\n\nAnd do every assignment. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher for help.
