Organizing Your Life
Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is the same as being
neat.
Fact: Organizing is not about how a
space looks, but how it functions
Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is a talent you’re either
born with or not.
Fact: Organizing is a learnable skill.
Myths About Organization
Myth: Organizing is about throwing
things away.
Fact: You can keep everything you want
and still get organized.
The Cost of Disorganization
If you plan on storing items, for a
basic 10 foot by 20 foot storage unit
you'll pay approximately $60 a
month. This doesn't seem like much,
but it works out to $720 a year, and if
you rent a space at this rate for 3
years, you'll spend a grand total of
$2,160. Most people don't think
about the total cost of long-term
storage, and when they really stop to
consider what they've spent after
renting a storage unit, they realize
they could have purchased new
items with the money wasted on
storing the old ones.
Part I: The Closet
The #1 Rule of Organization
“A place for everything and
everything in its place.”
The #2 Rule of Organization
“Out of sight, out of mind.”
I don’t have to worry
anymore about all of
that junk in my closet.
It is now at the
Salvation Army
Organized
I can’t remember
where I put that
sweater. I guess I’ll
just have to buy a
new one.
Disorganized
The #3 Rule of Organization
“Travel light”
The #4 Rule of Organization
“If you don’t use it, lose it!”
Quick Sort
•
•
•
Pull everything out of your closet.
Sort everything from your closet into 4 piles.
If you haven’t worn or used it in a year, it goes
in the TRASH or DONATE pile.
KEEP
MOVE
TRASH
DONATE
Remove 2 Piles From Your
Room
• Remove the trash
• Bag up the items you wish to donate.
Get them out of your room.
TRASH
DONATE
Keep Pile
• Focus only on the KEEP pile.
• Set the MOVE pile outside your room
for now.
KEEP
Sort
• Sort the only pile left into themes
•
Theme Ideas:
• Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer
• Dress clothes, casual clothes, slacks, dresses, etc.
• Colors
Hang Hangers Backwards
•
•
Hang hangers backwards after sorting, then hang
clothes up normally to see which clothes you
actually wear.
Then after 6 months or a year, you can see which
clothes you have not worn. Get rid of those
clothes.
Dealing with Dirty Clothes
• Place 2-3 laundry baskets in your
closet.
• Sort as you remove your clothing.
• Do laundry one basket at a time as
they fill up.
Whites
Colored
Delicates
Set Out Clothes the Night
Before
Find a Place For Other Items
• Sort the MOVE pile.
• Find a specific and logical place for
each item. For example, a toaster
does not belong in your closet.
Purchase Clear Storage
Boxes
Still Not Enough Space?
What if I might need it later?
If you really can't throw things out, put the items
in a box with a destroy date written onto it—
generally about six months from now. If you find
yourself needing to go into it to find something,
put it with the items to keep. Anything left in the
box at the end of the time should be thrown out
or donated.
Part II: Organizing Your Desk
Quick Sort
•
•
•
Pull everything out of your desk.
Sort everything from your desk into 4 piles.
If you haven’t needed it or used it in a year, it
goes in the TRASH or DONATE pile.

Bonus Tip: Transfer your notes from your AVID
binder into file folders after each test.
•
Go through your files 2 times per year.
Filing System Options
Find a Place For Other Items
•
•
Sort the MOVE pile.
Find a specific and logical place for each
item. The logical place for these items may
not be in your desk. For example, an apple
does not belong in your desk.
Deal with Paperwork Once
• Avoid the temptation to “set it and
forget it”.
It may work for
chicken, but it doesn’t
work for paperwork!
Mail
• Separate junk mail from important
mail. Throw away junk mail
immediately.
• Open mail. Make a choice. Is it worth
keeping or is it trash? If you keep it,
file it. If it is a bill, pay it.

Paperwork Fact
“Less than ½ of the paper that
finds its way to your desk is worth
your attention”

The Tutorial Process
What are Tutorials?
Tutorials are a time for students to
collaborate and help one another with
questions they are having in academic
classes.
How Often Do Tutorials
Occur?
Tutorials are typically scheduled on:
Thursdays
Taking Notes in Class #1
Students take Cornell Notes from lectures,
videos, presentations, textbooks, etc. in their
academic classes.
Preparing for Tutorials #2
At home, students complete side 1 of the AVID
Tutorial Sheet which includes one higher level
question from their academic classes, Cornell
notes, homework, class work, quizzes, or tests
Developing Level 2 & 3
Questions #2
Questions for tutorials should be level 2 or 3 questions.
Level 2 or 3 questions are not required for math.
Hint: If the questions can be answered simply by
looking in your book or your notes, it is probably a level
1 question. You may use the following handout for help
developing level 2 & 3 questions.
Collecting Tutorial Sheets #3
As students enter the AVID classroom, the AVID
teacher or an AVID Tutor collects the AVID
Tutorial Sheets. The Tutorial Sheets are the
“golden ticket” required to enter class.
Scoring Tutorial Sheets #3
AVID Teacher scores side 1 of the AVID Tutorial Sheets.
If the tutorial slip is turned in late, the AVID teacher will
deduct 10 points from the total score.
Scoring
Forming Tutorial Groups #4
AVID Tutorial Sheets are divided into groups by
an AVID Tutor based on the types of questions.
Biology
Algebra II
English
Choosing Student Tutors #4
One student from each tutorial group may be assigned the
role of Student Tutor. Student Tutors help facilitate the
tutorial process.
Getting Into Tutorial Groups #4
The AVID Teacher or an AVID Tutor calls the
names of each student who is in the biology
group, for example, and assigns them a location
to work. This step is repeated for each group.
Presenting the Questions #5
Students present their questions to the group one at a
time by writing them on a white board. Students give a
30 second speech to explain what they know up until
their point of confusion. Then group members and the
AVID tutor ask questions to help the students with their
questions.
How to Present a Question #5

this question.

Tutorial Sheet once all questions from the group
have been answered. Completed AVID Tutorial
Sheets are turned into the AVID Teacher for
