Disorganized? Much.
I have this problem of disorganization, and handing stuff in late, at school, when I'm like an A+ student, but then sometimes for lateness I get dropped down 5-10 points. I really dont want to get bad grades because of my disorganization, and lack of neatness. My locker is messy, I keep saying that I'll do it tommorow, but never do, and the same with my room. Therefore, I get in trouble with my parents and teachers. A lot of times, while I'm doing homework (especially on the computer) if I'm bored, or not, I always seem to get distracted by something. Even my stories that I write sometimes dont even have any problems in them (not for school though) and I make the characters go off on tangents, like I do a lot of times in real life. Can someone give me some organization tips? All answers will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
labels labels labels if you have a binder and have deviders that are labeled for each class that will help a ton also go to office max, staples, ect... and get a three hole punch that goes in binders so when you get papers in class you dont just shove them in your binder also for your room what i did was i talked to my parents about having weekly chores and getting paid for it, see the catch is your room will be clean, your parents will think your doing great and you get paid in the end. it works awesomly becuase youll always have your room clean becuase if you dont you wont get paid. well i hope i helped ♥ Kelley ♥

I suggest getting a bindor and getting folders for all your subjects. With the bindor buy those plastic slips that you can put notes in them you can get them at the dollar store. Cleaning your locker is probably a good idea and dont put it off. Actually dedicate yourself to doing it and you will. After you clean your locker try to keep it clean each day dot let it get messy again.

Gah, I have the exact same problem!!!!
Last year what I did (and it helped a lot) was got different folders for each class in different colors which represented the day I had the class. Get a shelf for you locker, maybe keep your backpack on top, have a bookshelf for your textbooks and folders in between, and anything else that you dont really need for your classes on the bottom. For stories, make plan/outline exactly what you are gonna say before writing it. Catagorize all your ideas into different topics, then place your topics into different paragraphs/sections. From this generate an outline, and stick to it@! This might help you from randomly starting to talk about something else. Minimize your distractions in the area you study. I had this notorious habit of ALWAYS laying down and just doing my homework on my bed, with my phone and music next to me, and a whole lot of other crap, and I'd get so off task that I'd end up staying up incredibly late just to finish everything.
Getting organized begins with a mindset, you have to really WANT to accomplish it, which I'm guessing you do cos you posted this question up. It'll take time, but if you stick to it you'll definately get better.
Goodluck :)

I'm pretty scatter-brained myself. The best advice I can give you is to WRITE IT DOWN. Write down everything that you need to do and the way you need to do it. Take it one step at a time. Clean your locker one day, your room the next
It sounds like you could possibly have ADD or ADHD.

IT sounds to me like you suffer from ADD. Attention deficit disorder, without the H, which means HYPER. You are not hyper. My boyfriend, who is an aduld has the same problem, he went to the doctor and that is what they diagnosed. He is very smart, just very disorganized, and he agonizes over something like having to clean his house. He often gets distracted. He is often late. His desk at work is a mess. But at some things he excells. Look up ADD on the internet, and read some of the stories and see if they sound like you. And read what other people have done about them. We don't recommend drugs. There are natural supplements you can take that will help to calm you down and help you focus like St. John's Wort, or L-Theanine. Look those up too, see what you think. You may always have to work hard to stay organized, but remeber there are some very famous and very successful people in this world who have the same problems. Get as much information as you can , and you'll be able to make informed decisions on your life.

get an accordian binder. those things help a whole bunch. and for the locker thing, get a post-it note, write down, CLEAN ROOM/LOCKER, and stick it on your bathroom mirror. that way, its the first thing you see in the morning. If you do clean your room/locker or get an A on a paper, reward yourself. like...eat chocolate or something. haha. hope this helped in some sort of way.
