ORGANIZATION NOW
Hello! I am a college student - female, freshman and am having some trouble organizing.
i got to organizational websites and they dont really help and theyre not that specific.
I clean my room and i feel like everything is organized but when it comes down to it, it's not. i have school papers that fold up in the bottom of my backpack, and pencils that go missing (but thats not a huge problem about the PENCILS) and ive got into a habit where i dont hang or fold my clothes ( i can't fold for shit) if i ever fold them all away, when i take a shirt from the bottom, it unfolds all clothes on top of it. is there a really good organizational website? does anyone have any SPECIFIC methods they have on how they organize their whole life?! i also miss dates and schedules and all that. i am going crazy with all this disorganization i can't pull myself out of. thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
I use gmail calendar for all the things I want to remember - I have it set up to synch with my phone, so if I put it in my phone or my calendar online, it will all synch up and I don't have to think too much.
When last did you clear out your room/house? I find that having a big clearout helps me see what I actually HAVE, and I can then pile my clothes in order of what I wear most often. Freeing up the space in your room will help you to organise things better.
You could also pack things that you don't use all that often and put them away in a cupboard, and keep the things you use more often like your pencils in a desk-tidy on your desk.
Set aside time once a week to clean your room, put things away etc. It will be maybe a 1 hour investment once a week but it will save you any time you currently waste looking for things.
Don't go to bed with things on the floor/not put away. Take 5 minutes to tidy up before you go to sleep.
Have you got hanging space for your shirts? This may be a better option for you if you can't fold. It also means that grabbing 1 shirt won't mess up the rest. I have all my shirts, coats and skirts hanging up, and the rest of my clothes are folded as I reach for them less often.
Buy cheap folders and put your school papers into them. Use plastic sleeves etc.
Just tackle one area at a time and form new habits for yourself - it will be worth it in the end, I promise!

Hi - I am going through the exact same thing.
Best advice I can give you is to find study groups. This can be especially helpful for larger gen ed classes like Psychology. If your college email is not flooded with requests already, some services will allow you to mass email classmates.
Don't assume that folding clothes and crap has to be perfect. It just has to work. Try pairing outfits beforehand so you don't have to pull from the bottom.
You can't really organize your life by freaking out. Take some time out to breath or just go for a walk. Make sure your getting enough sleep.
