Tip 1: Daily Planning

The first thing I do at the start of a new semester is get a new planner. This is the best college organization tip that anyone could ever give!

My favorite planners are ones that have sections for full days. It’s an easy way to stay organized and on-task throughout a busy day.

Time efficiency is key to living a balanced life, so I make sure to plan out everything to make the most of my time.

I have been using a daybook from Doing Well Daily this semester and I love it! It starts my mornings on the right foot and gets me in a positive mindset so I can begin my day.

It has sections for all the different parts of the day; including fitness, self-care, school work, and to-do lists. This is why I like using a daily book or to-do list book to keep my days structured.

Some people like larger planners for a bigger snapshot of what’s coming up, but it’s entirely up to your preference.

Tip 2: College Semester Assignment Organization

Instead of using a huge planner for keeping my assignments organized, I have started using Excel and Google Sheets.
