Going back to school after the summer can be difficult after not having a daily routine for months. Not having a daily routine made it very difficult to get back in to the swing of things before school. I found it especially difficult to keep track of assignments at the beginning of the school year last year. I have compiled a list of helpful habits, tricks, and methods to help organize yourself at the beginning of the school year. Being a focused and hardworking student is paramount to succeeding in high school, so I have included hacks to help you make your studying and working time more efficient. Many of these tips have worked for me and my grades have benefited from the implementation of these methods.
