Organization: a blog for Ben Corda

So you walk into your office with a little pink binder with everything you need to graduate strategically placed inside of it, loose leaf pages bigger than the notebook itself and millions of crumpled post it notes. How do you expect to be on top of things if all of the crucial information in your life is in a notebook the size of your hand? It is plain and simple, you can't. You're going to try to tell me next that everything that you have organized is in your intelligent smart phone. That is the thing about the present, technology is taking over present day teens and adults. Physically writing things down helps your brain remember what you have done and what you have to do for the day or week. If you type it in your phone and miss the memo or break your phone, the lunch date with that pretty girl could be thrown out the window in a seconds time. Do not get sucked into the new technology of organizing things, try it out if you are content with the old fashioned way and become a basic master. Get a binder, a date book, a bulletin board and a pad of paper or two. Plan things out the night before, on Sunday organize everything you can for the upcoming week. Always leave reminders for yourself, it makes you feel accomplished to have to check something off, cross it out or throw away a post it note. Bottom line is to train yourself to plan ahead and think of things days possibly weeks before they happen, easier said than done but everyone has to start somewhere!
