​
Tip 4: Create checklist of tasks, and check them off once you completed each item.
​
Tip 5: Take 2 minutes every day to organize papers in your binder and backpack. This will help keep things neat and
help prevent losing important papers.
​
Tip 6: Get your backpack ready to go at night instead of in the morning. This will help you avoid a morning rush in
which it is easy to forget important papers.
​
Tip 7: Keep some back up school supplies in your locker. This way when you run out of paper or forget your pencil
you have something to fall back on.
