Buy a daily planner. Weekly or monthly planners won’t cut it you want a lot of space to write out the complete day’s proceedings, because your entire day will be crammed. While you don’t need to nitpick every hour all term, you will by the time finals roll around.
Keep your room clean. This will help your emotional organizational functions more than you would guess. A cleanly well-ordered room usually means a cleanly well-ordered mind. And at the very least, if next week’s laundry is done, it frees your attention up for academics.
Have a digital file drawer . Keeping your computer structured will never have been more important. If you’ve got a search function, use it, but also keep your hard drive in definite order. Nothing is worse than a chaotic digital dig for a document ten minutes before it’s due in class.
