It's that time of year! Everyone is going back to school! Well, I always take summer classes so it's nothing new, but for all the little ones who have had the summer off, it's back to school season!
These two things are my planner and my little notepad. Absolute essentials in going back to school. And aren't they so pretty? :)
The day all of the classes open up and the syllabi are posted, I go through and print every single syllabus and write down all of the important dates in my planner, such as tests, essay due dates, etc. That way I'm never surprised when I have a test the next day or an essay is due that night.
I use my little notepad for lots of things, as seen above: taking notes on things I see on Pinterest, writing down recipes, or as a scorepad during a card game (I was winning).
This is only part one of my back-to-school organization because I don't have my desk yet. Once I get that and get my school things packed, it is on. Today I'm just going to introduce two of my school survival guides!

The big thing I use my notepad for, though, is to do lists. I cannot function without a to do list. I make to do lists for everything. Honest. It's either the pregnancy, or my brain just doesn't retain information well, or both, but if I do not write down everything that I need to get done, it just will not get done. Especially with schoolwork. I started this last semester and it worked wonders. Plus it just feels so good to scratch off an accomplishment once you've completed it.

What are your back-to-school must-haves? Do you keep to do lists, too?
Where did you get your planner? It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Pretty sure I got it at Target. :)
DeleteHi Chloe, I just started following your blog recently - and I, as you, am in college. I'm still trying to figure out a good way to stay organized (16 credits/term) for myself as well as for my fiancee since we have different schedules!
ReplyDeleteI have found that using google calender helps since it can be synced onto multiple devices.
check out my blog! :)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't live without to do lists!
