How Can I Get Really Organized? *teen*?
I am a real perfectionist but I am extremely unorganized! And quite frankly I cannot handle this anymore!
I am 14 years old and I need tips on organizing: my schoolwork, room, schedule… basically– MY LIFE.
Please, I really need some major help here. Thanks a million =D

If you are really perfectionistic, that is the heart of your problem. Learn to risk trying things that may or may not work for you. You probably tend to assume “what if I do it wrong?” and don’t try. You also need to learn when good enough is good enough…that means relax your standards. Many perfectionists do not start or try because they don’t think the end result will be perfect and if it’s not perfect, it’s not worth doing. Try to get beyond those ideals.
The truth is, it IS worth it to muddle along doing the best you can, not ever being totally perfect. It’s hard to get things perfect when life moves so fast. If you can wrap your brain around that, you will be a lot more organized because you will be able to jump in and try new methods that will help you…and then you will see that even no one thing is absolutely perfect, your whole life is running smoother as a result of trying.
Sit down and sort things out.
Gets some folders and on the outside of your folders on the front write the class name on it and put all your work in it for that class.
Get a pencil case for your pens and stuff.
Maybe even a nice bag to put your school stuff in.
For your room you could get cute boxes and stuff.
Maybe a bookshelf.
and a desk so you can put stuff in it.
Hope some of this helped.
Good luck.
for school you can try a folder called an acroding.. it opens and there are little slots for all your classes…. and for your life you could get a sheduale
