Have you got a tip for how to be a super-organised student?

Are you a super-organised student? How do you make sure you get your homework in on time? Read the blog post and tips to see if you agree with them.

I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand, … OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organised!

But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.

So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organised? Post a comment below. I’m hoping we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills.

Amber’s Big Match
One morning Amber woke up early. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Amber was very excited because it was the day of the big tennis match. Amber went downstairs and into the kitchen, where her father was having breakfast.
‘ Morning, Amber. Today’s the day!’ he said. Amber smiled nervously. ‘Don’t worry!’ he continued. You’ll be fine’.
Amber put some toast into the toaster and opened the fridge. Just as she was getting the butter out, the phone rang. Her father answered it. After a few minutes, he put the phone down. ‘Bad news, I’m afraid. The other player was practising yesterday when she had an accident. The match is off’.
Amber ate her toast slowly. She was surprised she didn’t feel disappointed.
