5 Tips For Staying Organized

School can be difficult, especially for AP students. Staying organized can help.

According to a recent survey, only 62% of Eastside students feel confident that they can stay organized. “I’m always organized at the beginning of the year,” says junior Ashley Ramirez. “But then I get unorganized at the middle to end.”

Fellow junior Nahomy Aguilar agrees. “Sometimes I have weeks where I’m not organized because I am stressed.”

Here are five tips to help you stay organized.

1. Clean out everything you don’t use anymore.
2. Make a daily schedule for yourself.
3. Do one thing at a time. Don’t rush through things.
4. Create a to-do list, and start working through it.
5. Color coding may not be for everyone, but it can help out.
