Were you an organized student?

It really can be a huge step to try and get your feet firmly on the ground when studying. And let's face it, only some of the people try and out of those people who make that attempt, only a handful really truly succeed. I do wish anyone who is trying to get more organized with studying the best of luck. There can be a lot of times where you are really fighting an uphill battle and it can be something that is rather tough to do to say the least. Especially now more than ever before with the way everything is. I think that the hardest part is knowing where to begin and when there are so many different directions that you can do, I really do think that its a hard thing to determine. We all have to start somewhere, but it is precisely where that is a really sticking point with a lot of people around the world. That is really one thing that is universal, where to really start and the chance for it not to really got as planned. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

hi megamatt, you're welcome. i think i have started many different studies without finishing it completely and officially. except for business major of which i got my bachelor degree. now every time I want to study other things, I just remind my self about the good reasons why i choose the major that i'm studying now. when i remembered those strong reasons, i would want to stay in my major. Have a nice day.

That is really something that's a huge point about trying to remain organized. There are times where it is a constant battle to really get organized to say the very least. There are a lot of times where I really feel like throwing my hands up into the air and really throwing all caution to the wind and just trying to go with the flow. However, I really do know better and the fact remains that I really am shaving off a lot of time, no matter how much time it really takes to stay organized. That is really something is obvious about organized and really you can see why a lot of people are far from organized. There are many times where people try to stay organized, but eventually give it up. Because it does take a lot of concentration, not to mention a lot of discipline to say the very least. Therefore, it really is something where you just got to buckle down and really get everything that you need to get done done and stay organized. Its not going to be easy, and you're right, you still find clutter, even if you try and be organized. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

You are right, being organised takes a lot of concentration and a lot of discipline. I believe this is something that i lack of. Yes, staying organised definitely have us to save time ultimately. It's easy to do one wrong thing and let the whole organisation to fall apart. But it takes alot of patience and determination to get the whole thing in place and to maintain it! Megamatt, I should really learn from you!

I am with you on the other way with people who do things at the last minute. That is just inviting a lot of trouble, not to imagine the fact that I would rather have things out the way. Plenty of time to kick back and take it a bit easy, when everything is done. I tend to aim to get things done rather early. That way, if something goes wrong, I have far more time and a lot less to stress out on. There is nothing like losing your mind over something and obviously wishing that you had started it sooner. I have seen people have freak outs and really they have no one to blame for themselves with their poor time management skills. Plus by getting it done early, you have a lot of time to touch it up like you said. There are times where you can really look at something, make it more polished. Something looks a lot more perfect when you're mind numb after working on it. Coming into things with a bit of a fresh perspective, can really allow you to make it look a lot better and it does come out to be a lot more solid in the end. Therefore, be organized and if you have problems, at least you have a few days, as opposed to starting with a few days left. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Looks that you had some kind of system down. That is a good thing. I think that I felt like I was part of the evolution of how things were done in school and I went from organizing things with folders and notebooks to organizing everything on a computer. It is really one of those things that has changed over the years and potentially for the better. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

My handwriting was rather awful. I really think that a couple of teachers celebrated when I got a computer and started doing most of my homework on there. I really think they did. Not that I can confirm it. However, back in the days, there was folders, notebooks, pencil case with everything I needed, and of course the always legendary, Trapper Keeper. Those were in fact the days. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Ah Trapper Keepers. I remember those! Quite popular too!

There are just going to be a lot of people that are like that. A funny story is that I'm organized as a student and in my professional life. In my personal life, it is really a different time. I think that it is really something that is a contrast of insanity, and it is like two different people a lot of the time. My closet in particular is really something that is an adventure to get through a lot of the time. There are times where it feels like I am fighting my way through a jungle. That is just one insane thing. I guess all of my organizational efforts went to excelling in school and my professional life and everything else went out the window. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

In the end, as I've said, if whatever you did works for you, then that is really something that is just good enough. There are a lot of people that really fall flat on their face, in their attempts to really get organized, and then there are some people who just never really get organized despite their best efforts. I think that if you are going to do achieve whatever grades you feel are satisfactory, regardless, then that is just more than fine. Everyone really does work different and its what works for them. Organization is in the eyes of the beholder in the end. For some, it is a gift from above and they really do need to do to do it to keep on track of things. Then there are other people, its going to be a burden and they work just as well not doing it. Then there are other people who find a happy medium and that is really good enough for them. In the end, whatever they are going to accomplish is through their own methods. If they still do well enough without being organized, then good for them. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

That is very true, organizational skills that are learned during the school days, they can really be something that can used in life. When you really think about it, the actual formal education process, is only the beginning of the educational process that is in fact life. Therefore, it is just a rather wonderful thing, to learn to be organized right off of the bat. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day.

Yeah there are a lot of students who did fairly well, even if their organizational skills were far from the very best. However, there are a lot of people who do need to be organized, otherwise they are completely lost. I really do think that there are a lot of times where different people really do tend to work in different circumstances rather well. Some people need an obscene amount to get organized, some can be partially organized, and others really can get away with not being organized at all. In the end, I think whatever works for you. If something is working for you and you are getting good results, don't mess with a good formula. There are times where I think that it could be better, my organizational skills but really, there are countless times where you can try and be better, but you are really getting a lot worse and can make things that way. So any way you can get good grades, then its good, its really good. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I really think that there are many people who wish that they had taken school a little bit more seriously and been rather more organized. Really, even though I think I did well for the most part(good in some cases), I really think that there are points where I was just lax and lazy and really not able to get anything really done the best that I could have really done it. At least that was the impression that I really could have done just a little bit better. And sometimes a little bit better is a difference between one letter grade and another. Still I'm just glad that I was rather organized. There are a lot of people who were not and there were a lot of regrets. Then there were a lot of people who were, who just wondered whether they could really have done a little bit better. At least that is the impression that I had gotten a lot of the time. When people get to college a lot of the time, I agree that they try and set things straight, although it can really be a slap in the face about how much you really do wish that you should have done. It can be quite sobering.

There is a point of a lot of school being quite frankly repetitive. Especially a lot of the early years. True story, I think that I had about the same math class, from the fourth to sixth grade years. With maybe a couple of things differently. There was really no repetition. Then you got those teachers who are just there to collect a paycheck and aren't qualified. Really do feel bad for those teachers who are talented and able to teach. Still it doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I think I was organized but not too obsessed to the level of perfectionism. Then again, I knew a lot of people that were and I'm sure there were people who were only slightly less organized then I was, most likely, they thought I was taking things a bit too far as well. Then again, it is really something that varies from person to person. Everyone does have their own opinions on being organized. I tend to make things look nice and tidy has possible, even though it does not work out as planned. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
