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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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!
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
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 😂
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.
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*
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.
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...
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
In fifth grade, I had an extremely ANNOYING classmate and who was never organized. You know, there are just some kids who don't stay organized and just can't sit still. For example, one day the teacher was walking around to check if we had our homework (she walks SUPER fast) and he was just scrambling around looking for his stuff. I guess the pressure just got to him (if the teacher doesn't see your homework by the time she gets to your desk, she gives you a big fat egg as a score) and the binder fell on the floor. Unfortunately for him, the rings were open and all the papers (like about 200 papers) went flying all over the classroom and made the teacher SOOOO mad that she gave him zeros for the rest of the week. She also told the whole class to watch this video and write an essay on the importance of organization. Thankfully, your video made it a piece of cake and by the next week our class was so organized it became popular. Anyway, to make a long story short, let me just say: THANK YOU JASMINE! I AM A HUGE FAN AND A SUBSCRIBER OF YOUR CHANNEL!
I always prefer buying those ringed folders and put binder dividers for each of my classes in it and sort things out that way. I also put random papers and forms that needs to be signed in the back pocket of the folder that way it won’t get mixed with my other classes papers. I use the front folder pocket for any homework I have that day. For me its easier this way because it gets my papers organized and its very compact to carry around. This is kind of like my take home folder. My other classes require binders and it would be annoying to take home those binders so I just leave those at school. I would take the papers I need to work on and put it into my folder. On the downside, your papers might get mixed in with your other papers so I suggest you immediately put your paper to where it belongs
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 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!
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.
something that i have learned after trying most of these is that if you have invested/bought these items but the system doesnt work for you, what you can do is give the items away to people you know might need it. this can go with different pencils cases, binders, folders, and other things too.
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 😳
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💖
To organize your homework and only bring 1 binder home every day is..... get a small binder ( 1 or 1 and 1/2 inch) divide in tabs ( one each subject organize all your homework in it( make sure to also brings things to help with the homework if needed) enjoy having a light backpack
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.
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.
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
Life hack: Carry any papers you need THAT day or receieve that day in the folder or an opening clipboard, and put them into the corresponding binders in the evenings if you get a lot of papers like me. It does take some maintenance though.
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 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 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 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 use the folder for each subject. And you can further divide your papers. I usually have notes in the bracket things, important papers or graded on one side, and uncompleted or other things on the other side. You can cut down dividers to fit your folder to seperate them. Lately I have a folder and notebook for the four main subjects, science, English, math, and history. And a small binder for any other class I have. :)
If u do use an expanding file folder but u have problems looking for a specific paper, I would suggest using those thin sticky notes that ppl use for books, so u can put on that specific piece of paper!
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.
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 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!
Since my college classes don't require a lot of paper, I combine multiple subjects in one binder. I put class A and B's papers, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays (syllabi, important papers) in one binder. And class C and D's papers, which meets on Monday and Wednesday in another binder.
A thing I also use for organizing my papers is using a clear book, its much more practical since you just have to insert the papers in and you dont have to pull them out everytime since it's clear. And its easier to find papers since it has individual pages ~~
i just realize, after finishing high school, the university doesn't give me lots of handouts and notes XD I don't even bring my binder to class, sometimes I just bring paper and mostly don't use it XD
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
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.
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!!!!❤️❤️
I use a folder and notebook setup. I try my best to write ALL notes, classwork, and homework in my notebook and make sure to separate it. If I do get hand out for notes, or classwork I put them in their separate pocket. ALL homework assignments go into one black folder that I have. This makes it so much easier for me because now I don't have to look through all of my folders and notebooks for homework.
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.
I personally believe that one binder per subject is the best!!!! Buy clear envelopes so that you avoid punching hole in the papers you get, you can just slide them into the cleat anvelopes and put it in the section you like. I would nevere switch method.💪
i have a binder that i use for all my classes with the things i need to take to school, then i put all the things i can leave at home in class-specific folders that i organize by unit. it doesn’t take that much effort if i clean out all the take home stuff right away. it really works for me and i hope it’s helpful to someone else too!!
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
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!
Hey studyquill, do you have any tips on how to maintain a bujo despite having a busy schedule . I'm in 10th grade right now and we have continous sets of mocks before the actual finals , so I really don't have time to manage everything. Moreover, in two months , I'll be in 11th grade so I'll have to prepare for the SATs and go for coaching (it's pretty common) for almost every single day . So it would be really great if you could give me some tips regarding this issue !
Keep your BuJo as minimal as possible and something that works as well! That's it :) I think that could help :) If you find some other way that is useful and less time consuming for you, you don't have to stick to BuJoing. It should simply work for you, whatever method it is :)
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.
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
In avid we need to have a 3" binder and mine overflowed so much I had to hold the papers in place to access anything from the front or the back. I'm definitely getting a 5" next year
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
What most of my schools did was to use one big binder, have a folder for each subject and then use one side for finishes and the other for unfinished/homework
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!

I remember having the giant binders in middle school. Besides the binder test, the worst part was when it fell and everything went flying
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

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 school has odd and even days too but the only thing that changes between them is if you have gym or science lab
I would be curious to see how this held up even now, three years later (/gen)

“Have one GIANT binder”
me:that sounds painful to hold
Anna Z it is
I just have a one inch binder and have my papers in file dividers that have pockets in them
my plan going in to seventh grade is just to have kokuyo smart ring binders for each subject cos they’re pretty slim
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)
You're English is great
You sound like a native English speaker!
cool! and I agree with the previous comments, your English is great :)
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.
In India, we generally have papers with 2 holes as well! I haven't come across any other types :)
If you just a binder, your teacher gives you no-holes paper
If you have a folder, they they give you hole-punch paper??!
😅
Bolu Ayeni lol so relatable.
I have a folder that both have the thingy to put hole punched in them AND 2 pockets.
Bolu Ayeni lol yes
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
Maria Rybakov that’s evil manifested into chaos
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
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!
What major are you doing?
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
Who else has a giant binder for math but doesn’t understand anything 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
lavenderfreda sameeeeeeeeee
meeee
Um me
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 😂
Me and it will be forever...
How to make sure you don’t put it in the pocket of the binder
Cut off the pocket 😂
Teacher: make sure you place these papers on your right side binder pocket
Me: BUT MISS, I DONT HAVE A BINDER POCKET!!!
xXMoon_ ShadeXx at my school we don’t tell us where to put it anymore they just want you to have it 😂
Or rip them because you put to many papers in them 😂
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!
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
she's like the marie kondo of stationery
uhm idk xD
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 .
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.
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...
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 it, as usual! 💕
Sea Breeze happy to hear that!!
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
School was out 6 days ago and I’m already excited to go back!!! :)
Random Person With Internet me too
In fifth grade, I had an extremely ANNOYING classmate and who was never organized. You know, there are just some kids who don't stay organized and just can't sit still. For example, one day the teacher was walking around to check if we had our homework (she walks SUPER fast) and he was just scrambling around looking for his stuff. I guess the pressure just got to him (if the teacher doesn't see your homework by the time she gets to your desk, she gives you a big fat egg as a score) and the binder fell on the floor. Unfortunately for him, the rings were open and all the papers (like about 200 papers) went flying all over the classroom and made the teacher SOOOO mad that she gave him zeros for the rest of the week. She also told the whole class to watch this video and write an essay on the importance of organization. Thankfully, your video made it a piece of cake and by the next week our class was so organized it became popular. Anyway, to make a long story short, let me just say:
THANK YOU JASMINE! I AM A HUGE FAN AND A SUBSCRIBER OF YOUR CHANNEL!
Surprisingly, for a fifth grader, you have really good grammar.
listen to this girl her tips are actually good, like she's probs very smart
i love how we are starting to see your face more! you’re beautiful ♥️
"I'm just sitting on my couch watching this while eating plain boiled macaroni".
"Also this video was very helpful Thank you".
I literally binge watch your videos to motivate me to do my homework and actually try
I always prefer buying those ringed folders and put binder dividers for each of my classes in it and sort things out that way. I also put random papers and forms that needs to be signed in the back pocket of the folder that way it won’t get mixed with my other classes papers. I use the front folder pocket for any homework I have that day. For me its easier this way because it gets my papers organized and its very compact to carry around. This is kind of like my take home folder. My other classes require binders and it would be annoying to take home those binders so I just leave those at school. I would take the papers I need to work on and put it into my folder. On the downside, your papers might get mixed in with your other papers so I suggest you immediately put your paper to where it belongs
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 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!
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.
I’m just entering High School, and this is gonna be very helpful. Thank you very much
something that i have learned after trying most of these is that if you have invested/bought these items but the system doesnt work for you, what you can do is give the items away to people you know might need it. this can go with different pencils cases, binders, folders, and other things too.
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 😳
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💖
you can also use an expanding folder for each class so you have the simpleness of a folder but organization of a binder
thanks for saving my life LOL 😂❤️
Very helpful. Thank you, Jasmine! 😆💕
Studying Potatoe glad to help 💖
To organize your homework and only bring 1 binder home every day is.....
get a small binder ( 1 or 1 and 1/2 inch)
divide in tabs ( one each subject
organize all your homework in it( make sure to also brings things to help with the homework if needed)
enjoy having a light backpack
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.
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.
You've been a God send angel honestly. Thank you so much for your tips and motivation. It's really helpful.
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
Life hack: Carry any papers you need THAT day or receieve that day in the folder or an opening clipboard, and put them into the corresponding binders in the evenings if you get a lot of papers like me. It does take some maintenance though.
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 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 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 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
When will u do ur desk n room tour?? 😢😢😢
Ajju Venkat next week :)
Yeah... Tq.. Love ur videos
I use the folder for each subject. And you can further divide your papers. I usually have notes in the bracket things, important papers or graded on one side, and uncompleted or other things on the other side. You can cut down dividers to fit your folder to seperate them. Lately I have a folder and notebook for the four main subjects, science, English, math, and history. And a small binder for any other class I have. :)
If u do use an expanding file folder but u have problems looking for a specific paper, I would suggest using those thin sticky notes that ppl use for books, so u can put on that specific piece of paper!
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.
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 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!
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!
Literally the only thing I do all year is have pretty notes and that’s all I could ever ask for. Thank you!
Since my college classes don't require a lot of paper, I combine multiple subjects in one binder. I put class A and B's papers, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays (syllabi, important papers) in one binder. And class C and D's papers, which meets on Monday and Wednesday in another binder.
I just associate your voice with being organised and study smart because I always binge rewatch your videos whenever I'm struggling! x
A thing I also use for organizing my papers is using a clear book, its much more practical since you just have to insert the papers in and you dont have to pull them out everytime since it's clear. And its easier to find papers since it has individual pages ~~
i just realize, after finishing high school, the university doesn't give me lots of handouts and notes XD I don't even bring my binder to class, sometimes I just bring paper and mostly don't use it XD
jasmine you just keep getting prettier and prettier! ilysm like ydek
I personally use the kokuyo binder, ever since I started using them my life has been eased a lot. idk the what brand is this but it works for me!
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!
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
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.
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!!!!❤️❤️
I use a folder and notebook setup. I try my best to write ALL notes, classwork, and homework in my notebook and make sure to separate it. If I do get hand out for notes, or classwork I put them in their separate pocket. ALL homework assignments go into one black folder that I have. This makes it so much easier for me because now I don't have to look through all of my folders and notebooks for homework.
I love how you say "hey guys" ❤
Tip have a morning and afternoon binder, then a folder for homework to take home
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.
Graduated high school, and not pursuing a career, yet I find these videos enjoyable to watch...normal?😂
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 ☺️
*uses a single folder with 4 pockets*
Lil_J_Bird 🤯🤯
I have a hack by using a folder with prongs, and then just putting in one of those dividers with pockets
I never thought of that! I actually might do that this year.
i found 5 star folders with 5 pockets!!!!
Thank you for being my studying companion these past few months ❤ got motivated to study because of you, love you! ❤
I personally believe that one binder per subject is the best!!!! Buy clear envelopes so that you avoid punching hole in the papers you get, you can just slide them into the cleat anvelopes and put it in the section you like. I would nevere switch method.💪
i have a binder that i use for all my classes with the things i need to take to school, then i put all the things i can leave at home in class-specific folders that i organize by unit. it doesn’t take that much effort if i clean out all the take home stuff right away. it really works for me and i hope it’s helpful to someone else too!!
kb do you love me thanks for the advice ❣️
studyquill ❤️❤️❤️
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
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!
Hey studyquill, do you have any tips on how to maintain a bujo despite having a busy schedule . I'm in 10th grade right now and we have continous sets of mocks before the actual finals , so I really don't have time to manage everything. Moreover, in two months , I'll be in 11th grade so I'll have to prepare for the SATs and go for coaching (it's pretty common) for almost every single day . So it would be really great if you could give me some tips regarding this issue !
Keep your BuJo as minimal as possible and something that works as well! That's it :) I think that could help :) If you find some other way that is useful and less time consuming for you, you don't have to stick to BuJoing. It should simply work for you, whatever method it is :)
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.
Ok I’m obsessed with your channel
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
In avid we need to have a 3" binder and mine overflowed so much I had to hold the papers in place to access anything from the front or the back. I'm definitely getting a 5" next year
I really love your videos! U spread positivity and love everytime💕
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
have my first midterms tomorrow kind of nervous but you videos have been such a motivational way to help me
Madison DiNunzio good luck! 💛💛
My school has block scheduling so we use A and B days. We have 4 classes per day so I think im just using a binder for each day!
This video is amazing and is definitely helping calm my nerves for year 11 beginning in two weeks.. aahashdjk
Olivia Rose aw good luck!!
ty TT 💕✨
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
What most of my schools did was to use one big binder, have a folder for each subject and then use one side for finishes and the other for unfinished/homework
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!
