Staying organized can be a challenge but everyone can be organized if they put in a little effort! With the fast pace of life and things constantly changing, it is easy to be preoccupied and sidetracked but by implementing just a couple small little things it can be made easy.
My first tip is to use a planner. This seems simple, I know, but it is SO effective. My planner is my holy grail and to be honest I would be completely lost without it. Physically writing important dates and things I need to do down on paper really helps me be productive. I also helps me look ahead at what is coming up in the future. If I don’t write it down, I often times push it off until the last minute, or I forget that I even had to do it in the first place.
Along with using a planner, I like to make a To-Do list. Every night I create a list of everything I need to get done the next day. Being able to check off an item is not only satisfying but is also proven to help with productivity.
Next I color code! This goes along with using a planner and a to-do list but color coding makes it quick and easy to glance at you planner or list and know exactly what is coming up, not to mention it makes things pretty 🙂 For my planner I have a different color for every class, a color for my blog, a color for sorority stuff and a color for personal matters. Color coding is whatever you make of it so find what works best for you!
Lastly, get into a routine. This is the biggest thing that has helped me stay organized. I’m not going to lie it was hard for me at first, I wanted to sleep in and lounge around all day but implementing a routine has helped me create more free time to do what I want to do. Set a specific time to wake up, set goals and complete them,
