Did you find yourself rummaging through your UT Austin student apartments to find specific notes last semester? If you are taking a summer break, use this time to practice staying organized in your apartment. The key is to have an organizational system before the semester begins.
Create a Productive Routine
Start by creating a productive routine that helps you stay focused and ready for the day. For instance, your morning may include a cup of coffee in your UT Austin student apartments kitchen. Your evening may consist of studying in the on-site study rooms or business center.
Invest in a Good Planner
Invest in a planner with a calendar, to-do list, goals, and whatever else you need to stay organized and focused on your tasks. You can even use colored pens for each section. Do you prefer to use a digital planner? Free websites and apps such as Google Sheets, MyStudyLife, and Taskade may do the trick.
Use Multiple Notebooks
If you are taking multiple classes, invest in spiral notebooks in various colors to separate your notes. This way, you only need to carry the notebooks for the day’s classes. A binder with dividers is a great alternative for limited space or maximum organization.
Label Your Materials
Whether you are using a planner, binder, or multiple notebooks, labeling your materials makes it easier to find the notes you need. Furthermore, folders on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone should be labeled for easier access.
