Organizing Your Life

Myths About Organization

Myth: Organizing is the same as being neat.

Fact: Organizing is not about how a space looks, but how it functions


Myth: Organizing is a talent you’re either born with or not.

Fact: Organizing is a learnable skill.


Myth: Organizing is about throwing things away.

Fact: You can keep everything you want and still get organized.

The Cost of Disorganization

If you plan on storing items, for a basic 10 foot by 20 foot storage unit you'll pay approximately $60 a month. This doesn't seem like much, but it works out to $720 a year, and if you rent a space at this rate for 3 years, you'll spend a grand total of $2,160. Most people don't think about the total cost of long-term storage, and when they really stop to consider what they've spent after renting a storage unit, they realize they could have purchased new items with the money wasted on storing the old ones.

Part I: The Closet

The #1 Rule of Organization

“A place for everything and everything in its

place.”


“Out of sight, out of mind.”I don’t have to worry

anymore about all of that junk in my closet.

It is now at the Salvation Army

I can’t remember where I put that

sweater. I guess I’ll just have to buy a

new one.

“If you don’t use it, lose it!”

Quick Sort

• Pull everything out of your closet.• Sort everything from your closet into 4 piles.• If you haven’t worn or used it in a year, it goes

in the TRASH or DONATE pile.

KEEP MOVE TRASH DONATE

Remove 2 Piles From Your Room

• Remove the trash• Bag up the items you wish to donate.

Get them out of your room.

TRASH DONATE

Keep Pile

• Focus only on the KEEP pile.• Set the MOVE pile outside your room

for now.

KEEP

Sort

• Sort the only pile left into themes• Theme Ideas:

• Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer• Dress clothes, casual clothes, slacks, dresses, etc.• Colors

Hang Hangers Backwards

• Hang hangers backwards after sorting, then hang clothes up normally to see which clothes you actually wear.

• Then after 6 months or a year, you can see which clothes you have not worn. Get rid of those clothes.

Dealing with Dirty Clothes

• Place 2-3 laundry baskets in your closet.

• Sort as you remove your clothing.• Do laundry one basket at a time as

they fill up.

Whites Colored Delicates

Set Out Clothes the Night Before

Find a Place For Other Items

• Sort the MOVE pile. • Find a specific and logical place for

each item. For example, a toaster does not belong in your closet.

Purchase Clear Storage Boxes

Still Not Enough Space?

What if I might need it later?

If you really can't throw things out, put the items in a box with a destroy date written onto it—generally about six months from now. If you find yourself needing to go into it to find something, put it with the items to keep. Anything left in the box at the end of the time should be thrown out or donated.

Part II: Organizing Your Desk

Quick Sort

• Pull everything out of your desk.• Sort everything from your desk into 4 piles.• If you haven’t needed it or used it in a year, it

goes in the TRASH or DONATE pile.

Find a Place For Other Items

• Sort the MOVE pile. • Find a specific and logical place for each

item. The logical place for these items may not be in your desk. For example, an apple does not belong in your desk.

Deal with Paperwork Once

• Avoid the temptation to “set it and forget it”.

It may work for chicken, but it doesn’t work for paperwork!

Mail

• Separate junk mail from important mail. Throw away junk mail immediately.

• Open mail. Make a choice. Is it worth keeping or is it trash? If you keep it, file it. If it is a bill, pay it.

The Tutorial Process

What are Tutorials?

Tutorials are a time for students to collaborate and help one another with questions they are having in academic classes.

How Often Do Tutorials Occur?

Tutorials are typically scheduled on:

Thursdays

Taking Notes in Class #1

Students take Cornell Notes from lectures, videos, presentations, textbooks, etc. in their academic classes.

Preparing for Tutorials #2

At home, students complete side 1 of the AVID Tutorial Sheet which includes one higher level question from their academic classes, Cornell notes, homework, class work, quizzes, or tests

Developing Level 2 & 3 Questions #2

Questions for tutorials should be level 2 or 3 questions. Level 2 or 3 questions are not required for math. Hint: If the questions can be answered simply by looking in your book or your notes, it is probably a level 1 question. You may use the following handout for help developing level 2 & 3 questions.

Collecting Tutorial Sheets #3

As students enter the AVID classroom, the AVID teacher or an AVID Tutor collects the AVID Tutorial Sheets. The Tutorial Sheets are the “golden ticket” required to enter class.

Scoring Tutorial Sheets #3

AVID Teacher scores side 1 of the AVID Tutorial Sheets. If the tutorial slip is turned in late, the AVID teacher will deduct 10 points from the total score.

Scoring

Forming Tutorial Groups #4

AVID Tutorial Sheets are divided into groups by an AVID Tutor based on the types of questions.

Biology Algebra II English

Choosing Student Tutors #4

One student from each tutorial group may be assigned the role of Student Tutor. Student Tutors help facilitate the tutorial process.

Getting Into Tutorial Groups #4

The AVID Teacher or an AVID Tutor calls the names of each student who is in the biology group, for example, and assigns them a location to work. This step is repeated for each group.

Presenting the Questions #5

Students present their questions to the group one at a time by writing them on a white board. Students give a 30 second speech to explain what they know up until their point of confusion. Then group members and the AVID tutor ask questions to help the students with their questions.

How to Present a Question #5

1. Write the problem neatly on the whiteboard.2. Face the group members.3. Read the question out loud to the group.4. Explain any prior knowledge and what you

already understand about the question.5. Explain what strategies you used in

attempting to answer the question.6. Indicate to your group exactly where you

became confused as you worked to answer this question.

Questions to Ask During Tutorials #6

1. Can you explain your question in another way?2. What do you already know about the question?3. What have you already tried?4. Where could you find a similar problem in the book?5. Do you have Cornell notes that may help?6. Where could you go for more information?7. What website might help you with your question?8. What does ___________mean?9. How would you graphically illustrate your process?10.What would happen if you changed

_____________?11. What if you tried ______________?12.How would you teach this to a friend?

Recording Notes #6

Students take out a sheet of notebook paper and take 3-column notes during the tutorial process.

Notes

Reflection #8

Students complete the reflection portion of the AVID Tutorial Sheet once all questions from the group have been answered. Completed AVID Tutorial Sheets are turned into the AVID Teacher for grading.

Reflection

Scoring Tutorial Sheets #9

AVID Teachers finish scoring the AVID Tutorial Sheets.

Verify Your Learning #10

Better understanding = higher test scores = better grades = higher self-esteem = better future!!!!
