As we approach the end of the semester, this means we are approaching the inevitable of Finals Week. During Finals Week I make sure to stay very organized in order to do my best on my assignments and exams. Here are three of my tips on how to stay organized during finals:

Write Everything Down

If you are like me and tend to forget things easily, this is probably the most important thing you can do. I like to write when my assignments are due in my planner so I can’t forget. If you don’t have a planner, no worries, you can use any sheet of paper to create your own.

Create a Schedule

This goes hand in hand with writing everything down. If you create a daily schedule for yourself, you will automatically make sure you are making time for what is important, but don’t forget to include time to destress and relax!

Designate a Place For Yourself

Keeping everything in one place will not only help decrease feelings of stress/anxiety but will also help you stay organized. Wherever you choose to keep all of your books etc. needed for finals, make sure it is also a space that you can sit down and do work. This way, everything is right in front of you.

Let me know if you try any of these simple tips to stay organized! Together we will get through finals week and ace all of our exams. Best of luck to everyone!
