Tips on Decluttering School Work
I have officially finished my sophomore year of high school, and the week after is the most crucial organizing time for all of your school work. Thinking about just throwing everything in the trash because the school year is over? I would strongly recommend you rethink your decision. A lot of your teachers and professors give you papers you know you will never need again, and that is fine. Throw all those papers out, but they also give you a ton of important pieces of paper that will be beneficial to the rest of your educational career. Here are my basic tips with decluttering your binders and notebooks!
1. Keep all of your general notes
General notes are notes in subjects such as math or bio that you know you will be pursuing. The worst thing to do is to throw away notes either you’ve made or have been given on basic principles that are the foundation to all your maths classes. Same goes with science, history, and even English. Simple rule - whatever you are taking the next year, keep the notes from the previous year’s class.
2. Use a file folder
This tip is honestly a life saver. Keep all of your work together neatly in one. I only use one for all of my years in high school, so I use envelopes to separate the subjects and year. This way you have everything you need to refer back to in one place.
3. Don’t hold onto everything!
If you aren’t planning on taking a class the next year then don’t keep the notes. It takes up valuable space and that space can be used for notes you know you will need for years to come.
I really hope this helps some of you who are keen on organizing your notes. These are the very basics, and if you would like more in-depth detail of how to organize your notes (the way I do it) I will be posting a video sometime this week on my youtube channel showing the basics of how I organize everything and go more in depth.
