Tips for getting organized before school starts?

Question

I always seem to get behind, and I was hoping some of you could give me some tips on how to stay on pace or get ahead.

So far I have got a room downstairs setup for where I am going to work on my school work, I am going to print out all the pace charts I get from teachers and post them all the wall so I won't forget if I have test or when my homework is due, and I don't have any distractions in my schoolwork room - t.v., playstation,..ect.

Anymore tips??

The trick is to not get behind--keep up with assignments, outlines for papers, etc.  Go over everything each week a few times, to make sure you are on-track.  Put all your pace charts together--when are the crunch times?  Don't plan anything else for those times!  And I always tried to make the deadlines 2-3 days before the REAL deadline so that I would get things done as there are always last minute glitches~!
