Being organized is an important skill for school and life. What does it mean to be organized?
For schoolwork, it means having one notebook and writing down all the work you need to do, so you know what you have to do and when to do it.
At home, being organized means having places to put your things. It means keeping your school bag, your shoes and your clean clothes in the right places, so you always know where to find them.
Planning is part of being organized, too. Calendars and lists can help you plan. You can buy or draw a calendar and put it on your desk. Making a to-do list for yourself is a good idea. Looking at your list helps you remember what you need to do.
You may think it’s hard to organize yourself and your things, but if you are organized, you will feel great. The less time you spend looking for things or worrying about the homework, the more time you will have for other things, like reading a good book or playing interesting games.

Future and Today
It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying:“Gain time, gain life”Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless.
We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know,“Time and tide wait for no man.”If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember:“No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.
