Organization has been one of the bane's of my life and I've never been able to fully grasp the skill. I knew going into college that was something that would need to be changed instantly if I wanted to have a shot at attaining success. With this goal in mind I spent the summer researching ways I how I could achieve this goal. With that research I found that by planning out my day in a calendar helped keep me accountable. As I'm sure many of us have experienced we at times we never feel as we achieve the tasks we need to do on a constant basis. I've fallen victim to this plenty of times where when I should be writing a paper I'm instead catching up on a TV show. By inputting our events into a calendar we hold ourselves accountable.
I contribute a large portion of my success last semester to the constant dedication I had in putting things into my calendar. By doing so I felt as if I was able to better manage my time and achieve more throughout my day. By inputting time slots for class and periods where I'd focus on homework I felt as if I was able to map out an entire day and stick to it. With this planning it freed up weekends and allowed me to enjoy them rather than have things looming over me. At the end of the day we all deserve a break every once in a while.
Despite all of these positives a calendar may not be the solution to a person's problems. Some people may feel the need to write things on a to do list or ask family members to keep them accountable. Organization isn't something that's a one size fits all there are various steps that you must take in order to fine tune your habits. Although my success story may seem like the dream scenario just realize that you to can develop these habits that will benefit you forever. Don't fall victim to procrastination and instead use that energy to try and get our of your comfort zone and see which method is for you.
