1. Start the year off on the right foot with a planner. This one helps you improve your focus and achieve your goals.
2. Attach a bedside caddy to the side of your bed so you never lose track of books, notebooks, pens, etc., that you use right before bed.
3. Sign up for a vitamin subscription so you can be healthier (and miss less school) without really trying.
4. Start using cable ties so you never have to spend five minutes untangling your headphones again.
5. Have a to-do list notepad, such as this one with four areas to write tasks, because there's nothing more satisfying than checking things off the list.
6. Organize your makeup so you can spend less time searching in the morning and more time getting ready or actually just sleeping more.
7. Put a waterproof notepad in the shower so your best ideas don't go down the drain.
8. Stick to using a dry erase weekly calendar so you can write down all your important tests and due dates each week.
9. Keep all your devices organized in a charging station so you won't have to hunt for them anymore and use a multi-plug charger to make sure they're all at 100%.
10. While you're at it, organize your desk supplies and your pens and pencils will always be in reach.
11. Get your closet in order with a organizer system, and you'll spend less time trowing clothes around your room looking for that one shirt you're dying to wear.
12. Invest in your future self by signing up for a self-care subscription box. You'll get products to help reduce stress and increase joy sent to you monthly.
13. Put a keyboard cover on your laptop so you can once and for all stop getting crumbs between your keys. (It also protects your computer from water damage.)
14. Use a different colored pen for every class so you can keep everything you have to do straight.
15. Add a Tile Mate to your backpack, keys, phone, wallet, or any other item you tend to lose, and you'll never misplace it again.
16. Get more out of your space by utilizing your desk chair with chair back storage so your desk doesn't turn into a pile of papers you just want to avoid.
17. Use an alarm clock with natural light to help you actually get up in the morning and make it to class.
18. Or invest in an Amazon Echo Spot and all you have to do is ask Alexa to set an alarm for you. You can ask her for the weather, traffic updates, and so many other things to make your life easier.
19. Use a ~fancy~ lunch box so bringing your lunch will actually be something you enjoy and look forward to.
20. Put all your secrets into a password book, and you won't have to spend 10 minutes resetting your password every time you forget it.
21. Store all your papers in document organizers so you can find the assignment when the teacher asks for it.
22. Use a lap desk when you're working or studying in bed so you can be more productive and (hopefully) not fall asleep.
23. Download a budgeting app to help you get all your money in order. It tracks what you spend and how you spend it so you can save more this year.
Time to rock the new year!
