Hi all!
I'm feeling generous, so I've compiled a sort of "cheat sheet" on how to get super organised for the stressful times ahead. Hoping that these tips are good enough for you, as they are for myself!
Organisation Senior Year:
1. BINDERS (A4 Lever Arch)
- Colour coordinated with subject labels
- Divider tabs
- Use a contents page (this should come with your pack of divider tabs, for large "sheety" and "topic heavy" subjects - ie. Legal, Business etc.)
- Loose leaf paper (Notes)
- Photocopy syllabuses and separate into designated tabs
- Place definitions and glossaries at the front of the binder/tab
4. EVERYDAY BINDER (A4 Lever Arch)
- Colourful (preferably your favourite colour)
- Plastic covering (as in the ones with the sleeves on the outside *raindrop stains and wet cardboard anyone?*)
- Exercise books (polypropylene covered - waterproof and damage free)
- Glue inspirational/motivational quotes at the front of your books (this is just something extra)
- 2 plastic sleeves (for unexpected sheets)
3. DISPLAY FOLDERS
- Colour coordinated with subject labels on spine
- A place for the original syllabus and sheets
- Leave sheets in a clear plastic sleeve in your everyday binder until Friday
- Place sheets into the display folder on Friday afternoon (keep on study desk and display in a magazine holder)
- Transfer sheets from display folder to binder when topic is finished
*Display folders are great for sheets, as they don't bulk up your exercise books and weight on your back!*
4. LAPTOP
- Create a folder designated to each subject and core topic
- Keep documents updated and backed up (Dropbox is always a good option)
