I have a bajillion things to do, and I feel like I really need to get organized. Sometimes I procrastinate on some assignments and then every day after that I have to finish everything a day late, so to say, and I really like to use the weekends to get back on track if I need to. Like, for example, I'll have, say, a socials question sheet and a science worksheet, and maybe some Spanish workbook questions and a load of math. Maybe I'll finish the socials and science today, but then push Spanish and math tomorrow, and then I have to finish those first tomorrow and thus don't have as much time for tomorrow's homework. So then sometimes that get pushed back a day, and so on and so forth, until I get to Friday, when then I have to weekend to catch up. I really need that sometimes.

I'm trying to finish all my homework in like a specified order, because sometimes I forget, and that throws me off. I've found ∞ + 1 to-do lists, daily schedules, etc. but sometimes they don't work, then I have to go look for maybe a different one. Some work better for me than others, and sometimes, the best of them all is the all mighty yet so simple, agenda. For weekends, though, I prefer this one: http://getbuttonedup.com/tools2/free_printable_daily_schedule_form_template.pdf (props to ButtonedUp) because the agenda space is too small.

I've also noticed that I really like colour coding things. Like, for my agenda I'll use a different colour per subject, one for clubs, one for lunchtime/before- or after-school work, and sometimes one for lessons or extra events or whatever. I find that this really helps identify at a glance for me, reminders that need to happen as soon as I look at it, not 5 minutes later when I've realized that I need to do at least 3 other things during the same lunchtime and I've already missed the timeframe for one of them.

I just realized that this post turned into a huge, rambling article about... well, to be honest, I'm not too sure what anymore. Let's just go with "organizing". :)
