There are probably as many ways to stay organized as there are people!
I like to be lazy, so I have found that the best way is to be organized. I try to do three things to be organized:
1. Spend 5-10 minutes at the start of the day to make sure everything is ready for the day.
2. Take care of those things that I can right away. For example, I write a lot of IEPs for my students, when I get a teacher report in an email I immediately put it in the report and get the email out of my inbox. Clearing my inbox is a huge problem.
3. I like to spend 5-10 minutes at the end of the day making sure everything is organized for the next dayclearing up things and the like.
There is nothing better than going home at the end of the day and knowing that everything is pretty much ready for the next day.
