Use a Student Planner

A student planner can help you remember dates, such as academic test dates. As a high school student, fewer people remind you about your schedule. This can lead to missed appointments, tests or deadlines. You can purchase a paper planner, so it is easier to carry. Check your planner each day and track your school assignments.
Label Your Notebooks

Organize Your Bedroom

A bedroom space can provide an organized environment. Use your bedroom for sleeping and studying. Keep your upcoming school assignments and homework on a separate desk. Make sure you store items away every evening. You can create a schedule for cleaning your desk off. Each week, discard any unneeded items, such as old paper bags.
Keep Your Car Clean
-
As a high school student, you may drive a car to and from school. This can mean traveling with textbooks, notebooks, sports equipment or a part-time job uniform. Keep these items organized in your back seat or trunk. Use book bags for your textbooks or notebooks. Place storage containers in your car trunk for job uniforms or sports equipment.
Use a Master Calendar at Home
-
Part of your high school organization involves balancing school and family activities. Ask your parents to place a wall-sized calendar in the kitchen. All family members can glance at the calendar and know when you are available. This helps minimize your missing academic or work-related deadlines. Write down your required activities, such as your work schedule.
