There are many advantages to having a well-organised locker while you are at school. Staying on top of your assignments and getting to class on time are just two of them, but storing your textbooks, notebooks, folders, school supplies and more in such a small space is no simple feat. Here are some tips that will help you turn school lockers into an organised haven.
Arrange items in order of your schedule
You don’t want to waste time looking for the right materials when you are hurrying between classes. Organise your supplies in your school locker in accordance with the sequence of your classes/timetable so that you can quickly switch resources between classes without any hassle.
Add hooks and clips to your school lockers
Put magnetic or removable adhesive hooks inside your locker for hanging up jackets, scarves, hats and bags. Magnetic clips can be used to hang up small items such as earphones. Hanging up your belongings in this way means you can keep them in good condition and always have them to hand when you need them.
Keep folders to arrange loose files
A folder should be kept on the locker shelf above the heavy textbooks to store any important school paperwork, homework, forms, or announcements. Try to avoid cramming papers in your school locker, as they may become damaged or difficult to find.
Attach magnetic organisers to your school locker
Small pockets or folders with magnets that are able to be attached to the inner walls of your locker may be utilised to keep pens, post-it-notes and other small items where you can access them quickly, but they will not get in the way of your books and materials.
Keep stocked up on school supplies
Use your locker to store extra notebook paper, highlighters, pens, pencils, and any other supplies you use on a regular basis so that you’re prepared for every classroom activity. On exam day, we often feel a rush of panic as we frantically look through our bags for pens or paper. By storing these extra supplies in an organised school locker, you eliminate any unnecessary stress.
Use a magnetic whiteboard for notes and reminders
You can use a whiteboard to jot down quick notes or reminders to yourself throughout the day that you can alter anytime. A magnetic whiteboard can be attached to the inner part of your school locker and is the perfect way to remain organised.
Clean out your school locker at the end of the week
Even the most organised space eventually needs cleaning. It’s important to routinely clean out your school locker to maintain it looking and feeling great and to keep everything organised. Before you go home for the weekend, take a few minutes to clean out any rubbish and reorganise your books and supplies. This will set you up and prepare you for another week.
