Organization is crucial for high school students. There are many ways to keep yourself organized. One of the ways to be organized is to use a homework task sheet. Just have somewhere a list of homework you have to do and the due date. This will help students turn in their homework on time and not lose papers.

Don't have a planner or just overall feel out of place? Your phone has a calendar to keep important events or dates so that you keep yourself organized and stress-free. You can even schedule when you would like your phone to remind you about that event so you won't forget.
