Scan your notes. If you have a lot of paper (notes, worksheets, etc.), use a scanner and keep it as a PDF on your laptop. 5. Use your smartphone. To stay organised, take photos of things you need to remember. For example, take photos of notes to yourself or something you need to study for school. 6. Get a pin board.

If you do it every day, it will only take five minutes and you can start each new day with a clean and tidy space. Step 2. Reading. Read the text about tips for an organised desk.
