All of my life I have struggled with the task of staying organized, in third grade I was that girl who had papers shoved in her locker up to her eyebrows. It was not until my junior year of high school that I was determined to shake the disorganization. Since I was involved in so many activities and had to balance a tough academic schedule, I needed away to stay on top of everything. Furthermore, I responded to this by cleaning my bedroom every day when I got home from school. It may sound strange, but having a clean room made sure my mind was ten times less cluttered. In addition to cleaning my room, I made sure my locker was spotless, kept all of my papers in binders, and went through my bag frequently to throw away any unneeded papers. Nevertheless,
I like to stay organized, and this is especially challenging mentally with the hectic life of a high school student today. I feel calmer when my life is orderly, especially in my thoughts.
Not to her surprise she learned I could not live with anything being off, bent, the wrong size, not color coordinated. I was OCD and I still am, and will always be, owheel. Being OCD makes satisfaction next to impossible. However, when I am pleased with my accomplishments they are nothing less outstanding than a view atop a mountain, and it’s always smooth sailing from there, or at least until I find another room in need of a cleaning. My bedroom always seems to be in that category, whether it be because the scarfs got out of the designated order, of my tanktops did not get placed in the right drawer, there always appears to be something, not quite in the right spot. However, I continue the think its worth. In part because of the praise I receive, like any normal mother, my mom, finds my obsession unhealthy, probably why it's a disorder, never the less, her draw dropping and admiration for my measured out necklace hooks, when she walks into my room keeps me motivated. Plus, in the early hours of the morning, such a nine thirty, I am occanaily challenged to get ready in a short 45 minutes. However thanks to my organization, I know exactly where all wardrobe pieces and accorisory are. If I feeling in a nazy kinda mood I know, my nazy pattern shorts are in the left top drawer of me drewer, the complementary tank top is hanging up
I love being organized, I also organize my closet crazily (my shirts by sleeve length and once that it's in order, I organize it by color)
All of our lives, we've been told to stay organized. Organization has always been linked to success and less stress. Whether at home or at school organization is something that has been taught to almost everyone since we were born. So which is better? A clean room or a messy room. Some would say that a clean room is better than a messy room. I disagree with that statement. While a clean room does have it's advantages a messy room helps you flourish in mind and soul. Sure, the state of your room may represent how your mind works but disorderliness isn't always bad. There are 2 types of messy: cluttered or just dirty. While clutter shows personality and possibly creativity, a dirty room is very negative and is not helpful in any way. Disorderly rooms looks bad to the people who don't own them but the people who made it that way feel at home when in their room. Consider this from Albert Einstein, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?” He looked unkempt and was reportedly messy in his personal life, but was certainly a creative genius. Einstein wasn't alone. Mark Twain, too, had a cluttered desk. Perhaps even more cluttered than that of Albert Einstein. Mark Twain was one of the most imaginative minds of his generation.One university got a bunch of students to sleep in specific rooms half messy and half clean. After a few days in the dorms the research conductors asked the students to give ideas on how to decorate a ping
The only thing messy in a neat persons house is the thrash can. The minute something comes to a neat person hand, he will look at it, try to decide if it has immediate use and, finding none, throw it in the trash.
School, a routine that I have to complete, every day, five days a week. Each one of those days I carry my bag, my purple and pink diamond patterned backpack to store everything from the most insignificant items like tissues and gum to the important ones like pencils and books. All these things I carry, help get me through high school and to reach one of my next goals of going to college. My folders, stuffed to the brim, shredded, ripped, that have papers falling out of all sides, hold all my important notes and assignments that need to be saved to study for finals. My extra daily contacts, located in the mid sized pocket of my bag, with prescription -3.50 and -4.25, that are ready to replace any that fall out, so I can read the board and store
It is not very hard to keep your locker tidy. Always remember your schedule and always bring a pencil. Do not ever, ever let anyone use your book, trust me my grade dropped like flies. Your brain book will help you stay organized. It will help you remember your passwords because by the end of the year you will have a lot. You will not be able to keep your grades up if you aren’t organized.
The only one I had trouble with was being memorable. It started with keeping a calendar to having sticky notes everywhere. It’s a mess, but it works. And hey, my goal wasn't to be more organized.
My main method of learning how to effectively organize my work was to look at how my peers organized their homework. Many of my fellow students would make a checklist of all of their work and make sure that they had everything that they needed before they left. A lot of students also made a planned order to doing their assignment depending on the amount of time they thought the assignment would take. My solution was to use both of these methods and also add a timer to make sure that I kept myself on track during allotted time for homework. Ever since I created this new system for myself I have been able to not only keep track of my work but also do my work more efficiently and allowing myself to have more time to relax and participate in extracurricular activities. The method also helped me stay consistently efficient throughout seventh grade and I plan to use it in eighth grade due to my past success with it. In conclusion, the transition from fifth to sixth grade was not easy, however, it has had a positive impact on my organization skills which will be used throughout my student and adult
When I was in university, there were 2 roommates in my residence that had the same problem of not being able to find things. Their solution was to put everything in the one place. However, the only place in their dorm room big enough to hold everything was the middle of the floor. So, they emptied their closets, drawers and bookshelves into a big pile on the floor.

I was never one someone would consider responsible or organized. Missed deadlines were not a rare occurrence for me, and I would easily lose things. Ever since I started working, I had to figure out a way to balance everything. Having two jobs was not easy, but it forced me to become skilled in being organized. The moment I started slacking in school, because of my busy work schedule, I knew I would have to quit. It was not a fast skill to develop, so I tried my best to do it in small steps. So from one day to another I started implementing small goals to change bad habits that I had built up over time. Instead of talking with my friends at lunch, I made it a goal to head over to the library and finish whatever work I needed to do. In the grand
One of the best things I did throughout my career in school was to write all of my assignments and events in an agenda. They would give us these in middle school with boxes for each class and motivational quotes and some pretty random information that I read when I was bored in class over and over again. Having an agenda and your teachers doing agenda checks every week made me incredibly organized and I can’t even fall asleep with a piece of clothing on the floor or a box unchecked in my agenda. I will bring this skill with me to college and into my future because it makes my life a lot easier and I am less stressed when I have a plan to do everything on a specific day of the week or
My life is run by alignment and perfection. Aligning everything on my desk, aligning everything on my computer, aligning everything in my backpack. Perfection in my work, perfection of my personal items, perfection of workout reps at the gym. Alignment and perfection is everything. I can’t stop help it, I just need to perfect and align all of my things. This habit of keeping things organized is so that I can focus on the important things. However, is it more than just a habit? More than a obsession? Is it an addiction to be constantly organized? Yes. I need to have everything aligned to the pixel, to the centimeter, or I can’t let it be. Whether it be using an arrow key or barely tapping the object to get it in line, it must be perfect. Perfection is necessary, perfection is everything, perfection is absolute.
In order to get organized; you need to get rid of any unwanted items that are laying around, such as garbage, dirty dishes, and of course dirty clothes. Once you get all of these items in their designated spots, you will be left with only the items that actually belong in your bedroom. From there you would begin to start putting these remaining items in their proper place. I would suggest to start with folding all of your clothes and getting them put away in either your dresser or closest because your clothes often times take up the most space. Then you can focus on all of the other random things that are scattered about.
