Organize your space and keep it that way!
If your apartment is neat and your desk is neat, you’ll feel completely different about school and life. There’s a reason spring cleaning is so therapeutic, so try to advantage of those benefits year-round.
An organized closet can make your morning way easier—
And honestly, who doesn’t want their notes to look like this??—
Keeping stationary, and keeping it organized, is incredibly valuable. De-cluttering your space will help de-clutter your mind!
Start your homework early!
Sometimes homework isn’t fun…
The only way to beat it is to get ahead of the curve –
And don’t use your pets as an excuse!! Get to work, y’all!
Keep track of everything.
I find that making lists, keeping planners, and sometimes even having a daily journal is super helpful for knowledge retention and staying on track of my duties.
My roommate will tell you—I have two planners and three journals—you can never be too organized!
If you want help making organized and accessible lists, free printables can be really useful. Here are a few of my favorites:
- these super cute documents
- these simple homework charts
- this exam study pack
- this minimalist monthly calendar
Stay on top of your payments.
This includes rent, utilities, and food charges that you know are going to happen.
Use one of the cute organizers above to keep track of your spending, or stay in contact with your property management team in order to have them keep you on time. (Trust me, they’ll love to help you!)
