Karina Kolpaczek brooo actually me 😂 what’s even worse is that I somehow manage to stay a straight A student when I’m super stressed out and don’t know where anything is! Also I somehow managed to qualify to go to college early ?? Hoooowww did I do iiitt? I’m so confused by it lol
/ I don’t try to, it’s something I’m working on. Especially when my parents feed me that I’m the best. However, there are a buuunccchhh of people better than me lol
I'm in eighth grade right now, and I have like 2 or 3 three inch binders that are bursting at the seams. We have to have binders for every individual subject, so I can't really use any of the methods here except for the first one
a tip for the "giant binder" approach is to have 2. I used to split it up like math/science in one binder, and english/foreign language/history in another. I also use folders as dividers themselves instead of having both. that way your notes and papers are in one place. another thing is to be realistic with taking notes, like which classes will need more notes than others. Lastly, dont overflow your binder with blank paper. I used to keep maybe 20 blank sheets in my binder at a time (in the back, and then i would transfer those pages to their respective section... this helps the hole punches in your notes not tear so soon), and have another stack in my locker or at home. Unless you use something more than once a week, theres really no reason it should be in your backpack everyday. Overall, the key to organization is minimalism, so try to keep "backups" of stuff out of your bag unless it is really necessary. best of luck on the new semester!!
@@juno4603 Eek. I feel you. I'm going into middle school and I'm in honors class (yay). So I'll be taking Reading and Math honors (because those are the only ones). Both of those classes require 2, 1½ inch binders, filled with paper. Good luck!
I have like an “A, B” schedule, where I have half of my classes one day and half the other and they alternate. I find that using 2 binders works best for me, so I can take a specific binder every other day.
Hmm do you not empty your binders? Not throw the papers out but leave them at home? I’m at school in america and I have my binders fill up pretty quickly, but I empty them out after each semester or quarter
Guadalupe Ramirez seventh grade ( probably different if not in uk?) you won’t need that much I promise. Year 7 is learning stage, year 8 is probably where you’re gonna need a little bit more for more math papers flying around ✨
My binder will be a study binder, holding all my notes throughout the year, separated by subject, then by trimester. But I’ll keep my binder at home at all times, to study from often. I will take notes at school (obviously) and then come home and transfer them to my study binder. I will also have a smaller binder for classwork, homework, quizzes, tests...all that stuff I never know where to keep. One thing I recommend is HAVE A PLANNER. there are many kinds with many styles, I can just tell you that they will organize your life. You can write important dates, events, due dates, and list your top priorities for the day as well as make to do lists for each day or even for the week, and these can be used outside of school as well as inside.
So in Germany we only have two holes in our papers so I can carry a hole puncher with me everywhere. I use a binder (like the ones you have for one subject) and I use little plastic strips with little metal thingys attached like a binder so I can store paper on them. I have one strip for every subject and I put the strips with the subject in the binder because I have different subjects everyday. (Sorry for my English lol)
The foreigners who speak English the best are always the ones apologizing for their English. I'm sitting here in Germany and looking at my papers with four holes in them though? But they have a lot fewer holes than the US ones. I never realized that they have sooo many holes.
lavenderfreda I always keep cleaning my binder, and when I compared my piles of papers of each subject I saw that Math was actually the one, that they keep giving me more paper, and I do not understand anything on it 😂
i'm a freshman and can assure you that you will have fun if you chose the right thing. it will be hard, of course, but if you have a motivation to keep studying it will do. let's do our best!
What worked super well for me was having a folder for every class for handouts and worksheets and then a binder divided by class for notes. I had a stack of hole punched paper in the front of the binder and when I finished taking the notes for a class I would simply move those into that specific section of the binder :) I also put the date and topic at the top of every note page to make them easier to find. My friends loved the idea and it worked well for them too
I’m starting highschool this year, and based on this video i’ve kind of mapped out what i want to do? this probably will change throughout the year as i get more used to highschool and what feels right for me. so i think i’m going to get a four pocketed folder for each subject. have the pockets be handouts, worksheets, penciled notes and loose leaf paper. i then will also have a thin-ish binder for that subject where i will redo the penciled notes into something more nearer and clear. i’d do the penciled notes in class so that i’m actually paying attention and not trying to make everything pretty and cute. when the unit’s over, i’ll simply throw the paper out. idk if other highschools do this cause i’m big dumb but my high school has certain classes on an “A” day and other classes on a “B” day. i’ll carry around both the folders and binders for those classes, the binders because i usually go to the library or a friends house or to play rehearsal, and i can do the neater notes there, or, you know, at home. i also plan on having notebooks come into play, but i’m not sure yet. i still don’t know if this will be my final way to do it but i guess this is what “fits my personality” the best or however you’d want to explain it.
my english teacher this year f o r c e d us to get a binder and organize it in her specific way and then a bunch of the papers she gave us weren't even hole punched
Here's what I plan to do for college: - One large Class Binder (as I'm doing a single major) - Subdivided into 3 Module sections, each colour-coded (so I can swap the module titles out each semester) - Tutorial pockets at the front of each module/at the very front of the binder (I'm not sure yet if I'll have different tutorial classes for each module or only one permanent group for the entire subject, probably the former) - Labelled pockets within each Module (1 section each for notes on each Topic, then 1 section for Lectures, and 1 section on Group Work if necessary) that I can remove and store in my Study Folder at home, once I'm finished with them during class. I think this should work for me, and maybe a similar system could be curated for a high school/middle school student too!
Yes! This video inspired my filing system two years ago. I am now a year 12 student in Australia and my system is like this: 1. Notebook: I use a single notebook for all my subjects. Basically it’s home-made from loose-leaf paper refills divided by those tab divider things you put in binders for each subject. For a cover, I’ve taken the front and back plastic covers off one of those display folders with the plastic sleeves. I hold it together with loose-leaf binder rings. I use metal ones but I prefer the plastic ones from Shein or Wish because they don’t hurt to lean on and they open and close more easily (I accidentally bought the smaller size though, so it could barely hold and papers, which is why I’m using the bigger metal ones). With this system, I can easily take out notes once we finish that topic and refill more when needed. It also saves paper because every piece of paper will be used rather than having a half-full exercise book at the end of the year. Plus, having only one book makes it easier to keep track of (not to mention, it reduces the weight of my school bag). 2. Sheets: I store my sheets, assessment notifications and hand-outs in the Morning Glory 8 Index Simple Document File. I like it because it’s slim, has the right amount of pockets for my subjects and it’s easy to open and close. I typically keep the ones I access most often in there, or the ones relevant to the topic at the time. 3. Binders: Like studyquill, I have a binder for each of my subjects. In year 12, this is essential, though in younger years, I managed fine with 1 binder for all of them, separated by tabs. Anyway, I separate my binders with tabs for each of the modules, and one for mixed-module questions/final exam practice. Once we finish a topic in class, I move my notes out of my book and document file and into my binders, which I store at home and use only before studying for a test/looking at resources for an assessment. 4. Online: For online files, I use iCloud. This means I can have a separate folder for each subject on my desktop and easily drag and drop files into them. I can also access the same files on other devices with the same appleID. I have folders within these folders for modules and final exams as well (in younger years that don’t have modules, you can divide by term, semester, general topics or other as you see fit). At the end of the year, I save these folders onto three different USBs which I keep in three locations and then delete them on my laptop to make space for the new year’s folders (this last bit may not be secure though, so keep track of your USBs! Or else, another system may be better. I still haven’t figured out how to ‘back up’ my computer so that’s why I use the USBs lol). PHEW. That was a long message! Hopefully someone finds this useful :) I have tried a couple of different systems over the years, but so far I have found this the best
I’m so glad that for algebra all I need is my math module and a pencil with an eraser, we might sometimes use scratch paper but it’s very minimal and we reuse old papers that our teacher made to many copies of as scratch paper
I have used the file folder system (one smaller one for each class) for two years now, and I absolutely love it! It can be difficult but you can find vertical file folders so you can see the headings of all your papers - I try to use those. Also, to keep the sections organized, I usually try to put the most recent and most important stuff in the front of the section, going all the way back to the oldest and least important. Hope this helps!
Yeeaah ! You are learning French :) good luck, as a french girl I wish you the best, this language it's quite difficult sometimes but I'm happy to see people putting effort in learning it! If you need someone to talk french with or just want some help I'm here! And by the way thanks for your video, I love your voice and your finals tips help me :D Love from France
When I use folders, I always put the newest assignments at the front of everything else. So it's categorized by day/week for me. [Edit]: I also save a slot for classwork and homework and another for graded assignments.
In college I use a mix of 1 & 2. I make large binders of my classes that only meet on certain days (ex: a large binder for my T/Th only classes, a different one for my M/W only classes), and smaller individual binders for my classes that meet more than that (MWF, or MTWTh). If a class would normally be in one of the big binders but I know I'll be going to study groups for it, I put it in it's own binder so I don't have to bring 1-3 extra classes with me to study.
hi, just discovered your channel! thank you so much for these videos and tips, they're wonderful! I used to be a really bad student in high school and i'm currently trying to be a better student in college and all of this, is really helpful!
I used to have 4 small binders for each subject. Then I swapped to one binder for the morning and one for the afternoon. This year, I'm using one accordion folder for the morning and one for the afternoon. It's pretty nice since I don't need to hole punch stuff, but it does make it harder to look for handouts. So in subjects where the teacher actually takes up homework, like chem in my case, it makes life a little more difficult. But otherwise, the best things about it is how light it is.
Since I'm in the UK, I only have 3 subjects to worry about at A-Level and yet I still find it far too difficult keeping track of my sheets and notes. These tips are great to avoid the mess of paper my room currently is...
If you use the expanding file system you can separate further with colored paperclips! I find them on the dollar section of target in cute vials once in a while
thank you for this video! as a struggling student, i find these videos really helpful and necessary to improving my organization and time management skills.
What I do is having a binder for each individual subject and writing the date on every single sheet, I started doing this last year and it's really helping a lot. Also I colored my timetable in with the colors of my binder, so every binder has a different color.
Not to be rude, but I’m a very curious yet picky when it comes to study tips and organizational methods and this is the channel I always come back to when it’s back to school. Thank u studyquill for these videos!!!!❤️❤️
Girl: Have one binder per subject, Me goes to check how much money I have *my bank acount: Girl... Idk who you think u r but u can only afford one pencil*
I loved the video! Its like a part two on "how to organize for school". Sorry i am late it was posted while i was in school and i was busy with a bunch of homework!
i use folders for space, but one thing i would recommend is having somewhere else to put really old topics and hw so you have something else to reference when you have a test with a ton of crap you don't remember, and you can keep your folders super light💖
I feel like the type of backpack organization depends on the class i take. I try not to have tons of binders, but i do have them for classes that require them. For the most part I try to keep 1-2 subject notebooks for other classes. I keep all of my homework in a spiral folder (it’s like a spiral notebook and an accordion folder mixed together) i put my notes that i dont need anymore in a large binder that i keep at home so i can refer back to them.
Btw with folders add in clear sheet protectors where those duotang clip things are and that way you can easily remove and add and flip thru your papers!
What I’ve learned that works for me is that I have one big binder for every subject with dividers just for the subject and I keep it in my back pack but I also have a smaller binder that I use for immediate papers. Whatever things I need to keep for multiple weeks or the whole semester goes into the big binder but whatever is an assignment or homework and I know I’ll probably turn them in in the next week or two will stay in the smaller binder. It’s really helpful because with just a big binder it gets heavy and most of the papers in it are useless for everyday use. And with just a small binder I never have notes or reference sheets from old units whenever teaches say we need to use them. It took me until my junior year in highschool to figure that system out 😂. Also it helps because I can just take out my small binder once I get home and only the papers I need to do are infront of me which helps because I get super overwhelmed easily 😳
For my personal organization system, I have one big binder with all of my notes and, just slipped into the binder, not in the rings, I keep a folder with all of my graded work. In that folder, I slipped a manila folder for work that needs to be finished or turned in. Then, I keep sticky notes around to write down things I need to do if I need to schedule study times for myself or remember to do online homework. THEN, at home, I keep a giant binder for graded work and notes from previous units.
I also use pocket folders to keep my papers organized but I put "dividers" using bookmarks to separate them by category (i.e. handouts, quizzes, notes) so that it will be easier for me to find what I'm looking for. I also use paper clips to ensure that no paper will be lost.
Oh I use folders (color coded for each subject) then I use binder and paper clips for subdivision. For example, in math if we learned about quadratic and linear functions, everything related to quadratic is put in a binder clip and everything related to linear functions is put in a binder clip
I use a 2 pocket folder and I use one side for academic classes and the other side for extracurricular classes. Within each pocket I use paper clips to divide the papers . You also should take out old papers from old units and save them in a binder or something so you can go back and study if needed . Don’t throw any papers away until the school year has ended
i have 3 binders. 1 day binder for the classes that i have that day, one giant binder for all the subjects i don't have on a day (this one stays home) and then a bigger one for all the papers i don't really need except when i need to revise a specific thing. Pro tip, whenever you finish a topic/unit condense the things you learned on to one or two sheets. That way it's easier to revise and to understand the stuff while you're making the sheets and later on when you need to look back on them. Saves a fuck ton of time especially for english and math
I love the idea of the binder, since my career doesnt use a lot of papers(most of it is electronic), i'm able to carry all the materials i need to survive every week
i use a notebook and folder for each class in my backpack and one binder for each class at home. then, after the chapter test, i transfer the papers from my folder to a larger binder that i keep at home. it keeps my backpack light and it helps to have everything in one place for finals!
i never really see people talk about these kinds of binders in videos, maybe because they’re just in my area idk. but i use this binder sort of thing where there are flexible plastic pockets inside, and it works really well for me. in my school, we’re provided notebooks for each subject, so i separate the books and any worksheets into the different pockets. downside is that they can break pretty easily if you have a lot of books (which i do).
i have binders for every subject! i have dividers for every binder and i label them accordingly to notes, assignments etc. the best way to keep your papers organised! i bring these binders according to which subjects i have on that particular day of school and i don't have trouble finding my worksheets.
im planning on getting a binder since teachers arent so strict when it comes to where the notes are written... it used to be our notebooks but ive noticed none of them really check them.. thank you for this!
A simple fix for the lack of sub-organization for the expanding file folder method is to buy stick-on divider tabs. I know that post-it has a few versions of this that even allow color coding. This would give you the benefit of the 3 ring systems without the drawbacks.
i personally have a giant binder for all of my subjects, and inside the binder i have folders for all the actual classwork, handouts etc. The sections are just for notes (or handouts if the teacher hole punches them.)
This is the first time I’m seeing your face! You’re so cute! 1:30 A way to combat that is to have a binder 3-Hole punch, I use my friend’s 😂 3:40 that’s really interesting, I’ve never thought to use the expansion folders that way 6:35 I have set colours for every subject, and use sticky notes, highlighters and pens in that colour lolol
I like to use a binder, the binder I have has the normal pocket and then a smaller pocket on top on both sides so I have more storage, along with the rings :D
Since my college is on a quarter schedule I only have 3 classes per quarter so I use a three subject notebook and color code by class the loose leaf paper is put into a 5 star binder that has the plastic closers and it can lay flat like a note book and is also color coded by class

I like it because it’s slim, has the right amount of pockets for my subjects and it’s easy to open and close. I typically keep the ones I access most often in there, or the ones relevant to the topic at the time.
3. Binders: Like studyquill, I have a binder for each of my subjects. In year 12, this is essential, though in younger years, I managed fine with 1 binder for all of them, separated by tabs. Anyway, I separate my binders with tabs for each of the modules, and one for mixed-module questions/final exam practice. Once we finish a topic in class, I move my notes out of my book and document file and into my binders, which I store at home and use only before studying for a test/looking at resources for an assessment.
4. Online: For online files, I use iCloud. This means I can have a separate folder for each subject on my desktop and easily drag and drop files into them. I can also access the same files on other devices with the same appleID. I have folders within these folders for modules and final exams as well (in younger years that don’t have modules, you can divide by term, semester, general topics or other as you see fit). At the end of the year, I save these folders onto three different USBs which I keep in three locations and then delete them on my laptop to make space for the new year’s folders (this last bit may not be secure though, so keep track of your USBs! Or else, another system may be better. I still haven’t figured out how to ‘back up’ my computer so that’s why I use the USBs lol).
PHEW. That was a long message! Hopefully someone finds this useful :) I have tried a couple of different systems over the years, but so far I have found this the best
love your videos! you're so calm which makes me feel more motivated! thanks! 💕💕
I’m so glad that for algebra all I need is my math module and a pencil with an eraser, we might sometimes use scratch paper but it’s very minimal and we reuse old papers that our teacher made to many copies of as scratch paper
loved these organization methods so much! gonna try them out and hope i can try to continue to do them for as long as possible
I have used the file folder system (one smaller one for each class) for two years now, and I absolutely love it! It can be difficult but you can find vertical file folders so you can see the headings of all your papers - I try to use those. Also, to keep the sections organized, I usually try to put the most recent and most important stuff in the front of the section, going all the way back to the oldest and least important. Hope this helps!
When it comes to stationery, you are the best youtuber! The quality and your voice are perfect for this kind of videooo! Luvluv💓💓
Yeeaah ! You are learning French :) good luck, as a french girl I wish you the best, this language it's quite difficult sometimes but I'm happy to see people putting effort in learning it! If you need someone to talk french with or just want some help I'm here! And by the way thanks for your video, I love your voice and your finals tips help me :D
Love from France
I really love your videos! U spread positivity and love everytime💕
Loved it, as usual! 💕
Sea Breeze happy to hear that!!
When I use folders, I always put the newest assignments at the front of everything else. So it's categorized by day/week for me.
[Edit]: I also save a slot for classwork and homework and another for graded assignments.
Flora Belle ty!
she's like the marie kondo of stationery
uhm idk xD
In college I use a mix of 1 & 2. I make large binders of my classes that only meet on certain days (ex: a large binder for my T/Th only classes, a different one for my M/W only classes), and smaller individual binders for my classes that meet more than that (MWF, or MTWTh). If a class would normally be in one of the big binders but I know I'll be going to study groups for it, I put it in it's own binder so I don't have to bring 1-3 extra classes with me to study.
Hey Studyquill.Love your videos. It always motivates and inspires me! You are awesome!!! Keep rocking your amazing channel!
Thank you for this! Your explanations are on point and for me your video is a time-saver.
I live in England and I'm gonna start a new school and I really need these videos. Thank u soo much for making these
Thank you so much Jasmine for helping again with your effective videos 💖
hi, just discovered your channel! thank you so much for these videos and tips, they're wonderful! I used to be a really bad student in high school and i'm currently trying to be a better student in college and all of this, is really helpful!
You have such a lovely voice Jasmine. Thank you for the great content that you provide!
oh my goodness . ive been looking for this video for so long . THANK U
I literally binge watch your videos to motivate me to do my homework and actually try
I just associate your voice with being organised and study smart because I always binge rewatch your videos whenever I'm struggling! x
thanks for making this kind of video, it helps a lot!!
btw i'm not an english speaker and you speak very clearly so thanks for that too :))
i love how we are starting to see your face more! you’re beautiful ♥️
I used to have 4 small binders for each subject. Then I swapped to one binder for the morning and one for the afternoon. This year, I'm using one accordion folder for the morning and one for the afternoon. It's pretty nice since I don't need to hole punch stuff, but it does make it harder to look for handouts. So in subjects where the teacher actually takes up homework, like chem in my case, it makes life a little more difficult. But otherwise, the best things about it is how light it is.
This really helped and your videos are super helpful! Especially since I'm going to high school in about 2 weeks so thanks!
This was so helpful! I have to start using binders this year, so this video couldn't have come at a better time!
Since I'm in the UK, I only have 3 subjects to worry about at A-Level and yet I still find it far too difficult keeping track of my sheets and notes. These tips are great to avoid the mess of paper my room currently is...
If you use the expanding file system you can separate further with colored paperclips! I find them on the dollar section of target in cute vials once in a while
thank you for this video! as a struggling student, i find these videos really helpful and necessary to improving my organization and time management skills.
What I do is having a binder for each individual subject and writing the date on every single sheet, I started doing this last year and it's really helping a lot. Also I colored my timetable in with the colors of my binder, so every binder has a different color.
I always get lazy to get my paper in and out so I just put it in the backpack between my folders 😂😂😂
Kelly Hoang lol that’s me when the teacher says “I excuse you not the bell” and I’m about the be late to my next class
Totally can relate
i literally did this after the first month of 8th grade
I’m just entering High School, and this is gonna be very helpful. Thank you very much
Not to be rude, but I’m a very curious yet picky when it comes to study tips and organizational methods and this is the channel I always come back to when it’s back to school. Thank u studyquill for these videos!!!!❤️❤️
Girl: Have one binder per subject,
Me goes to check how much money I have
*my bank acount: Girl... Idk who you think u r but u can only afford one pencil*
Dami Folarin such an underrated comment gal.
Wait doesn't your school give you them?
@@catriziacat1756 Not a lot of schools do that...
Catrizia Cat the majority of schools don’t give out school supplies except like a pencil that’s why it’s such a trend to post your supplies on ytb
Catrizia Cat at my old high school only freshmen year that it .
I have a binder that has a normal binder part and a file part. It may seem a little bulky, but it works REALLY well. It also has a handle!
Great Video (as always)
Another tip I have is in Semester 2, take all the things out from Semester 1 so you have a fresh binder ☺️
I loved the video! Its like a part two on "how to organize for school". Sorry i am late it was posted while i was in school and i was busy with a bunch of homework!
you can also use an expanding folder for each class so you have the simpleness of a folder but organization of a binder
Thank you for your videos! They've helped me soooo much this year (6th Grade), especially notes and organization.
Sina_FritoLays Dehghani of course 💖 good luck with the rest of middle school!
i use folders for space, but one thing i would recommend is having somewhere else to put really old topics and hw so you have something else to reference when you have a test with a ton of crap you don't remember, and you can keep your folders super light💖
jasmine you just keep getting prettier and prettier! ilysm like ydek
Yayy really needed this! Love you, Jasmine!
I feel like the type of backpack organization depends on the class i take. I try not to have tons of binders, but i do have them for classes that require them. For the most part I try to keep 1-2 subject notebooks for other classes. I keep all of my homework in a spiral folder (it’s like a spiral notebook and an accordion folder mixed together) i put my notes that i dont need anymore in a large binder that i keep at home so i can refer back to them.
Btw with folders add in clear sheet protectors where those duotang clip things are and that way you can easily remove and add and flip thru your papers!
Ok I’m obsessed with your channel
listen to this girl her tips are actually good, like she's probs very smart
What I’ve learned that works for me is that I have one big binder for every subject with dividers just for the subject and I keep it in my back pack but I also have a smaller binder that I use for immediate papers. Whatever things I need to keep for multiple weeks or the whole semester goes into the big binder but whatever is an assignment or homework and I know I’ll probably turn them in in the next week or two will stay in the smaller binder. It’s really helpful because with just a big binder it gets heavy and most of the papers in it are useless for everyday use. And with just a small binder I never have notes or reference sheets from old units whenever teaches say we need to use them. It took me until my junior year in highschool to figure that system out 😂. Also it helps because I can just take out my small binder once I get home and only the papers I need to do are infront of me which helps because I get super overwhelmed easily 😳
Thank you Jasmine, this really helped! Appreciate it 💗
thanks for saving my life LOL 😂❤️
For my personal organization system, I have one big binder with all of my notes and, just slipped into the binder, not in the rings, I keep a folder with all of my graded work. In that folder, I slipped a manila folder for work that needs to be finished or turned in. Then, I keep sticky notes around to write down things I need to do if I need to schedule study times for myself or remember to do online homework. THEN, at home, I keep a giant binder for graded work and notes from previous units.
Very helpful. Thank you, Jasmine! 😆💕
Studying Potatoe glad to help 💖
I also use pocket folders to keep my papers organized but I put "dividers" using bookmarks to separate them by category (i.e. handouts, quizzes, notes) so that it will be easier for me to find what I'm looking for. I also use paper clips to ensure that no paper will be lost.
Oh I use folders (color coded for each subject) then I use binder and paper clips for subdivision. For example, in math if we learned about quadratic and linear functions, everything related to quadratic is put in a binder clip and everything related to linear functions is put in a binder clip
I use a 2 pocket folder and I use one side for academic classes and the other side for extracurricular classes. Within each pocket I use paper clips to divide the papers . You also should take out old papers from old units and save them in a binder or something so you can go back and study if needed . Don’t throw any papers away until the school year has ended
Love this video!!! I personally use 2 binders and one folder to keep my homework in
i have 3 binders. 1 day binder for the classes that i have that day, one giant binder for all the subjects i don't have on a day (this one stays home) and then a bigger one for all the papers i don't really need except when i need to revise a specific thing. Pro tip, whenever you finish a topic/unit condense the things you learned on to one or two sheets. That way it's easier to revise and to understand the stuff while you're making the sheets and later on when you need to look back on them. Saves a fuck ton of time especially for english and math
Awesome video, I am now ready to tackle this next semester. Hopefully I’ll be more organized...
Thanks for the video Jasmine! It helped a lot!
I love the idea of the binder, since my career doesnt use a lot of papers(most of it is electronic), i'm able to carry all the materials i need to survive every week
i use a notebook and folder for each class in my backpack and one binder for each class at home. then, after the chapter test, i transfer the papers from my folder to a larger binder that i keep at home. it keeps my backpack light and it helps to have everything in one place for finals!
It's wonderful!!!!! (When I saw your french lessons I became so happy loool, I'm french)
Wow. Very well put together. Gold Star.
i never really see people talk about these kinds of binders in videos, maybe because they’re just in my area idk.
but i use this binder sort of thing where there are flexible plastic pockets inside, and it works really well for me. in my school, we’re provided notebooks for each subject, so i separate the books and any worksheets into the different pockets.
downside is that they can break pretty easily if you have a lot of books (which i do).
Keish have never heard of this but it sounds great! it’s like the best of both worlds 😂
I love how you say "hey guys" ❤
Literally the only thing I do all year is have pretty notes and that’s all I could ever ask for. Thank you!
have my first midterms tomorrow kind of nervous but you videos have been such a motivational way to help me
Madison DiNunzio good luck! 💛💛
i have binders for every subject! i have dividers for every binder and i label them accordingly to notes, assignments etc. the best way to keep your papers organised! i bring these binders according to which subjects i have on that particular day of school and i don't have trouble finding my worksheets.
im planning on getting a binder since teachers arent so strict when it comes to where the notes are written... it used to be our notebooks but ive noticed none of them really check them.. thank you for this!
A simple fix for the lack of sub-organization for the expanding file folder method is to buy stick-on divider tabs. I know that post-it has a few versions of this that even allow color coding. This would give you the benefit of the 3 ring systems without the drawbacks.
I love ur videos so much it really helps me 👍😁
This video came in just when I needed it 😊😊😊
tomorrow’s the first day of school so i’m bingeing all your videos 💓⭐️
itsthejibjab - RUclips ahh good luck!
i personally have a giant binder for all of my subjects, and inside the binder i have folders for all the actual classwork, handouts etc. The sections are just for notes (or handouts if the teacher hole punches them.)
This is the first time I’m seeing your face! You’re so cute!
1:30 A way to combat that is to have a binder 3-Hole punch, I use my friend’s 😂
3:40 that’s really interesting, I’ve never thought to use the expansion folders that way
6:35 I have set colours for every subject, and use sticky notes, highlighters and pens in that colour lolol
THANK YOU!! I needed this haha!!
I like to use a binder, the binder I have has the normal pocket and then a smaller pocket on top on both sides so I have more storage, along with the rings :D
Since my college is on a quarter schedule I only have 3 classes per quarter so I use a three subject notebook and color code by class the loose leaf paper is put into a 5 star binder that has the plastic closers and it can lay flat like a note book and is also color coded by class
For the expanding file you could make dividers and put them in a seperate compartment.Then you can just order it that way :)
