Organization

My plan to keep things organized at USC is to write all my assignments and their due dates in my planner, so that I can keep on top of them. I also plan on keeping all my typed papers and homework in folders on my laptop so that I can easily access them. To be honest though, I'm a fairly unorganized person. Throughout grade school, my book bag was full of papers and I occasionally lost some of them. Binder checks, where my teachers would check if our binders were organized, always went bad, I would always have a bit missing. I'm hoping to change that, mainly by doing things electronically, which I keep way better track of.

Time management was also a big problem for me, especially in high school when I worked. Everyday would really be go to school, come home for an hour or two, then go to work until ten at night, and pass out on my bed. Then on weekends, when I finally had free time, I would just chill and hang out with friends. I found that if I don't get enough time to just chill, then I'm constantly burned out and can't get any work done. Now that I'm in college and my classes allow for more chill time, I can really focus on my work when I need to do it.
