We’ve been taught since we were in pre-school too make sure we stay organized. By having folders to keep all our papers in, to having planner books in high school that teachers had to sign off on, it’s something we’ve been taught for as long as we can remember. Unfortunately, organization tends to be a skill that can’t be taught. It’s something you learn once you are on your own and don’t have people constantly reminding you to do things.

The disorganization I see from a lot of people blows my mind sometimes. People are so disorganized that they forget to turn things in for classes because they lost the rubric, or just didn’t know the assignment was due. These are the kinds of things that absolutely can not happen in the working world. If you want to get into broadcasting, you need to make sure you are prepared and organized. You need to know where all of your things are and also you know where you need to be and when at all times. You can’t use the excuse of “I didn’t know” because there was most likely an email sent out informing you of all the information you needed to know.

One of the ways I stay organized is by keeping my calendar up to date. I know exactly when I have things going on. Whether it’s a class, work, or if I am traveling, I know where I have to be and when. I also make sure I put due dates into my calendar so I know what I need to get done each week. It hasn’t been easy to get myself to the level of organization I’m at now, but once you get into a certain habit it’s like clockwork. Find what works you and let it guide you to make sure you don’t miss events or things going on in your life.
