i need organization help?

Question

I have my desk area in my living room in a corner and I am starting school so i will have a lot of papers. What can i do about organization

is there something i can get to keep my papers organized

Answer 1

I have a lot of papers as well. What I would do is get some old file cabinets and put all papers you wont need in a while, in there and then put in like a closet or garage. Then seperate by classes, or days you have the classes...just some type of order then put the papers in certain storage bins. Then you can put your books on the shelf. I know another thing that helps is LABELING! Trust, it gets a lot easier to find things if you write down where they are. Because whats the point of being organized if you dont remember where you seperated your different things. Below is a target web page of different storage boxes and stuff (pretty reasonable)
hope this helped

Answer 2

Hi
Since is sounds like you have limited space, you should probably go vertical - meaning "layers" or shelves above your desk. If you use the stackable plastic shelves, they have an area for you to label each layer to find things better. If you add actual shelves in layers, make each shelf for a different topic or class. You will need your desk space for reading and writing, so going above (and below) will save that space for you. Labels are the key - I use colored masking tape and handwrite them and write the class on the tape with a sharpie. This way you can remove the tape and put up new ones when you change semesters.
I am a messy worker, so I understand the fear that this type of vertical organization won't work. By the end of every day, my desk and shelves are pretty messed up, so I always leave about 3-5 minutes at the end of each study session to straighten the desk and shelves so that the next time you use it, it is ready to go, and you don't have to "remember" what every piece of paper or book is for.
Good luck with school!!!

Answer 3

You can either get several binders, like i do, and just organize based on the classes you have. You can also start a file box, where you can also organize based on classes or subjects. You could also just throw away the stuff you dont need anymore, creating more space than you had before. But if you can not do that then what i mentioned above should work/

Answer 4

Get a file box sit in front of the Tv and start fileing in catagories Before you know it you will have it all filed throw the junk you don't need

Answer 5

You should probably sort them out. You should probably get a file cabinet. Then you can lable all the sections according to what you are going to put in them.

Answer 6
