• “Why is there never enough time in the day to do everything I need to do?”

• “How can I possibly get to my next class in 5 minutes?”

• “I’m always late in the morning because I can never find the clothes I want to wear.”

• “I don’t do as well as I want on assignments because I always seem to forget to do some part of it…”

• I get myself or other people stressed out because I’m always forgetting where I put things, times when things are happening, or what I’m supposed to be doing.”

The 3-Step Plan to all Organizational Tasks

• Analyze• Strategize

assignment, or task that you are organizing

Step 3: Attack• The approach here will depend on which

organizational problem you are “attacking”. This could include:– Space or physical possessions (i.e. MP3 collection,

your bedroom closet)– A task or assignment (i.e. an English essay)– Organizing your time (over a day, a week, a month)

In Summary…• Organizational skills are not genetic – we all have to work at them

throughout our life

• The time it takes to get organized is worth it – it saves you both time and stress in the long run

• There is no “one size fits all” organizational system – it truly has to complement your interests and tendencies

• Good organization requires maintenance for it to be effective – you’re never really “done” organizing your space, time, or work
