N's Tips and Tricks for School Organization and Productivity

Hey Guys,

   Since I go back to school in a month, for the entire month of August and into September I am going to be doing some back to school themed posts. I may even post twice a week. Today's post is all about productivity and organization. So without further ado let's get started!


1. Have a planner - I have a planner that I use to write down lists of what I need to accomplish almost every day. I had a planner for school, I didn't really use it though, when I did use it, it was quite useful. Here is my planner currently:




It is a recollections mini planner from Micheal's, I do have to say I prefer the "The Happy Planner" planner because you can take out the pages. It's easier because I'm a lefty. You can get them at Micheal's. Here is the planner I am going to be using at school:



It comes in a pack of 3 at Micheal's with 2 other notebooks. I will be using it to record my homework, events and activities.

2. Write down your due dates - This one is kind of obvious, when you find out your due dates record them. You don't want to miss any and turn things in late when it might lower your grade. Use your planner monthly view or weekly view to write it down. Another thing you can do is to plan your time to ensure you finish it on time or even early!

3. Organize your time after school - It's nice to have a plan for after school, especially if you have activities that put you on a time crunch. After school is time to get homework and projects done, but here's a tip: complete the things that are due sooner first. If you have no activities after school then, DON'T procrastinate. This will let you go without stress and have some fun.

4. Keep your phone in your locker, backpack or desk - Keep your phone put away to avoid distraction, if you get distracted easily. All teachers have different rules so keep it somewhere that follows the rules at your school. Also, put it on silent so you don't get embarrassed if it goes off. This will help you stay focused and on task during class.


I hope these tips help you to be productive and organized this school year. Sorry for not posting last week. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!

End of Summer Reflection

Hey Guys,            It's September, (sad face) and I start school tomorrow. Today is my last day of Summer. Today I am going to be reflecting on my 2018 summer break. Mostly I'm covering what I completed on my bucket list. Here are the things I completed on my bucket list: 1. Go shopping at Claire's accessories - Completed on the second last week of July. 2.  Post a lot more - I'd say I did really well on posting at least once a week, sometimes I even posted twice. 3. Cut my hair - I did this on the 31st of July. 4. Cook almost every or every week - I successfully did this pretty much every week. 5. The things about dance - I practiced a bit and stretched a little bit, but I have some great ideas for choreography. 6. Visit a local farmers market - I didn't visit the one I wanted to, but we went to another several times to buy corn, fruit, and fudge. I really didn't do much this summer, but I went to some family eve...

Short Stories

Hey Guys, Long time no see! Happy holidays! I have been busy for a while and now that it's winter break I can blog more. I probably won't be following a posting schedule so my posts will be at random times on random days. I might, might  do a Christmas gift haul so stay tuned. Without further ado lets get started. Today I'm going to share two short stories I wrote doing a prompt a day. I wrote these stories on the 20th and 21st of December. I got these prompts from the seventh sanctum writing prompt generator linked  here . Enjoy!  Story 1: Prompt: The river is her friend. We never really understood Sadie. She was just different. I never really understood her until we became friends.  Sadie was only at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We never knew why. Sadie was alone all of the time, I was her only friend or so I thought. Sadie approached me on a gloomy Monday morning. "Rory, meet me after school down by the river. Don't not come." she said and...
