School Bag Organization Tips

Although School has already started for many, for others it either hasn't started, or they are not looking forward to the messy papers and flying pencils in their school bag. Weather you use a backpack, tote, or cross body bag, backpack organization is a must to stay sane during the long year ahead! That's where I come in. I am here to give you some ideas for things to keep in your school bag, and also show you some great tips to keep it organized.

Things to keep in your school bag:

Now although it is pretty obvious that your keep SCHOOL SUPPLIES in your school bag, their are specific things that  I do to keep my bag a bit more organized. Instead of using a binder  I like to use folders and notebooks for two reasons. 1) its a lot less heavier on my shoulders, and 2) It keeps me organized! Keeping all my papers, syllabuses and such in the folder for that class really helps me stay organized and ready for school.

I think its also good to always carry a planner in your back to school bag. Its a great way to stay organized through out your...LIFE! haha But seriously, everything you have going on you can organize out in your planner so that way you know what your doing today, tomorrow, what days your free, when your next appointment ect.

TIPS FOR ORGANIZATION:

1) Always try to put your papers in the folder for that specific class, but a way to be even more organized is to put one side of the folder all your handouts and work you got back , and then the other side to put all the papers that have yet to be turned in.

2) Make a to do list! This will help you stay organized inside your own head. Maybe get a composition notebook which is what I am using for school. List out things you have to get down and do it in a way that will help you personally because everyone thinks differently.

3) Prioritize your classes. Figure out which class is that harder one and make sure you put in the amount of study time for each class. So if your math class is way harder then your English class, then dedicated more time towards the math class so that way you can feel like both are on good terms!

4) Highlight your notes in different colors. This will help you stay organized if you say put yellow in the " MUST REMEMERS" and pink as the " DONT FORGETS" etc. Which ever way best fits you!
