Since you haven't found a product that does everything you want it to do, and you're willing to print one out, why not just design one in your word processor?  That way, you can customize and update your to-do list for your unique needs as required.\n\nIf you want to conserve paper, print out a sheet for each day of the week and put each sheet in its own clear sheet protector (NOT the non-glossy, non-glare type).  To check off items as you do them, use a white board marker.  At the end of the day, just wipe the marker off with Kleenex.  If you leave it longer than that, your Kleenex will have to be dampened with water.

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

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.

I was diagnosed w/ ADHD 4 years thru college lol. I found the best tool was a pocket organizer/datebook, just write everything down in it, which I had never done before. That helped a lot.

Start with a file cabinet and organize your bills. and etc you will always find them when you need them.\n  Make a cook book , by typing all your recipes into the computer and copying them , give them to your children or Friends for a gift. Add poems or stories of you growing up make it personnel. You can make it small or big it all depends on you. Get fancy copying paper to jazz it up..Clean out your closets and give it to the poor,

Go to Favorites, then Organize favorites. There you can delete the ones you want, and organize by folder similar ones. Hopes this helps.

Organizing what? If you mean your time/life, there's a large "movement" on the Internet who are getting into a system called "Getting Things Done" or GTD for short. If you search for this you'll find lots of useful suggestions.\n\nThe basic theory is that you get all of the things you're thinking about, need to do, etc, transcribed down into a system you can rely on (say, a notebook, a computer program, whatever).. and then you note down "next actions" for those things. You can then refer back to this to always push your actions on a step at a time. Search for "getting things done".

Help him organize at home first.  Make sure he has school "stuff" in an appropriate place at home - a drawer, a cabinet, a desk, wherever.  Just keep it in the same place, and don't allow him to move it.  Make sure he works on homework at this place every time he has work.j\nUnfortunately, he's going to be on his own at school, and he'll have to learn the hard way about being organized.  You can buy a different spiral and/or folder for each class - be sure to COLOR CODE THEM, so he won't grab the wrong one.  And let HIM choose which colors go with which classes - he'll remember it better if it's "his" system too.  It sounds "geeky," but buy him a pencil pouch and put pencil, pen, calculator, small ruler, and small pack of colored pencils in it.  He should take the pencil pouch to EVERY class EVERY day so he won't be without necessary items.  \nFind out when his homeroom is.  Pop in once or twice to see what's going on.  Talk to his homeroom teacher and enlist his/her help with your child's organization (It's easy - all they have to do is talk to the whole CLASS about it; give tips, help gather materials, etc.).  Ask the teacher to remind your son once a week or so about his organizational skills.  Check out his locker.  See how (if?) he organizes it.  Do this AFTER SCHOOL so the other kids don't see!  If it's a disaster, talk to him and get HIS ideas about how he could rearrange it to be more effective for his use - morning class materials in the top/afternoon class materials on the bottom, etc.  Also, Wal-Mart has locker shelves that are pretty neat, and there are also little magnetic pencil holders that can be put inside the locker door for "extras' when he's without a writing utensil.

Plan out your work so that you do some of it each day, and are not rushing like mad to finish at the last minute.  Ask for help organizing if you need it.

Keep your files in a hierarchical structure that's what I do and it helps alot. Like you can have "my docs" then "work docs" then "week of 5-05-06" and so on. Oh, did you mean acutal paper documents? Get hanging document holders and label them but in an organized way. I have some and it helps.

Put stuff in boxes or baskets that slide under your bed. Get those large Rubbermaid or Sterlite plastic containers with lids (fairly cheap at Target) and put extra clothing, blankets, and stuff in them and stack them out of the way. You can cover a stack with a tablecloth and put a vase of flowers or something on it to hide it. Have a yard sale if you can get it together before guests arrive and ditch things you haven't used or worn for months. Use the trunk of your car for storage in a crunch, or rent a storeroom and haul boxes of goods over there - out of the way but still accessible. If you get bookcases, get DEEP ones and you can stack two rows of books on them instead of one so they do double duty. You can install hanging shoe organizers or clothing hooks behind doors, or there are sets of wire shelves that hang on backs of doors for more storage. For paperwork, get some Bankers Boxes and toss it in there - you can sort it later when you have time and meanwhile, it's all together. Store the boxes under your computer desk or stacked in a closet.
