Back to School Organizing

1. Put away last semesters material. Theres no impediment to a fresh start like tripping over last terms book andnotes every time you move forward to your desk. Organize your old notes, assignments and handouts store them in binders. This way, theyre out of your way but available for future reference. Move the books for last semesters courses to the bottom of your bookshelf so you can devote the prime shelving space to those you need for this term. 2. Clean your bedroom/dorm room. Once you have last terms materials off the floor, get the rest of the place in order. A clean and organized environment will allow you to spend your time getting your assignments done, not searching for lost items. 3. Set up your workspace. Now that the desk is clean, make sure its prepared. Take inventory of your school supplies and purchase whatever needs replacing. Check your course list and purchase any special tools you may need (such as a calculator or sketchpad). 4. Set up a reference point for your materials. 5. Print out a copy of your schedule for your bulletin board and planner. 6. Buy the course books as well as any reference books you may need. Dont wait until the last minute to do this, especially if you plan on buying them online because the delivery time may be lengthy. 7. Set your goals for the semester. Dont just drift aimlessly along. Set realistic goals now, and list concrete steps toward achieving those goals. Print out your goal sheet and hang it on your bulletin board or somewhere you will see it often. Plan rewards for achieving each step. 8. TEN COMMANDMENTS OF MOTIVATION a. Share responsibility, remembering that as you take credit for the success, you must also share the failure.

b. Understand that as a leader you can give authority and allow others to contribute to their own and your success. c. Constantly remind yourself that only through participation can others make their jobs meaningful. d. Communicate the why as well as the what to ensure that understanding and cooperation become a habit. e. Evaluate accomplishment on the basis of the results achieved rather than on the activities engaged in. f. Sincerely be humble, knowing that most people would rather succeed than fail at their jobs. g. Seek always to set a good example. h. Force yourself to set goals and priorities. i. Unceasingly seek to be objective, fair and honest. Light the way for change.
Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
