September is back to school time. Your children are back in school or you yourself may be taking classes or getting an advanced degree. From the time students start changing classes, usually middle school and up, organization plays an important role.

The best time to learn organization is, of course, as young as possible. The younger you learn to put “everything in its place”, the easier it is. This is especially true in today’s society where students go to school all day, have after school activities, and then have to do homework for five or more classes. It is a balancing act that cries out for time-saving ideas.

According to Wikipedia, Robert Baden-Powell, the Boy Scout’s founder, defined the Scout Motto of Be Prepared as 2 parts:

“Be Prepared in Mind by having disciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment, and are willing to do it.

Be Prepared in Body by making yourself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment, and do it.”

So are you helping your students Be Prepared by being organized?
