Ok guys i need your help. I need to know ways or programs to help me use my computer to get more organized and help in school. Or if you know any tricks that you guys use to keep organized and that help you please share them here so that i and other people in the eGO family can pick the tricks up.

Hm, I guess if you want to be more organized you should make 1 folder on your desktop, then put subfolders inside of that folder thats named after each subject. And of course stick work in those foldiers.

If you use Vista/7, there is a Sticky Note widget that goes on your desktop that you can use to remind you of due assignments.

Hmm looks like i made it a bit more complicated than it is. But thanks for the tips. If anyone else has a method they use feel free to share.

I agree with Beta's post about the folders.

If you need some help organizing homework, assignments, examinations.. I can share two files I've used since my Junior year in high school..

[ame="http://rapidshare.com/files/376199661/Homework_Organizer.xls.html"]Homework Organizer[/ame] - helps organize immediate work requirements. It's quite satisfying when you finish something, you can delete it off the list. I left one section in there as a guide.

[ame="http://rapidshare.com/files/376199781/Calender_Planner.doc.html"]Semester Calender Planner[/ame] - helps plan into the future. Let's you visualize what and when things are due. I know it's just a home made calender, but it's done me wonders for over 6 years now. I left my schedule this term in there as an example.

Hope that helps!

First off at the beginning of each semester I grab my huge calendar, markers, and my syllabi. I then plot out when all the tests will be, so I know what to expect for certain weeks. Tests in blue, reports in orange, etc.

Secondly, I carry around a planner which I write my assignments for the day. Included with the assignment I write the due date and a rough guess how how long it will take. When I get home I then use my dry erase board to copy my assignments for that day/week. I then prioritize them based on length and importance. (Test > quiz > homework) Taking all this into consideration I make a study plan for the day. Included are my goals for each part and how long I guess it will take. (Complete the assignment, understand X for test, etc.) Finally, I get to work.

My last bit of advise, get to know your professor! They can be very nice and are usually more than willing to help you. Also, if a prof knows you and sees how much you work they might help you out at the end of the semester. ie my Anatomy 1 class, my grade was an 88, but because I basically lived in her office I received an A in the class.

I hope this helps! Good Luck to you! If you need more ideas send me a PM
