We’ve all been guilty of having those days of doing next to nothing; that’s absolutely okay. Okay to an extent, that is. It’s perfectly fine to relax every once in awhile, but, let’s face it, we’re college-age kids. There’s always something to get done. 

Here are some good ideas to get your day rolling in a productive way. Branch out and use your time to actively improve your life. 

Organize your email account(s)

Emails build up, there’s no doubt about that. Purge your email accounts the best your can, and organize the rest of them into different folders so you can access them that much easier. Sure, you can keyword search your email for the content you need, but having organization in your life makes things run that much more smooth. 

Delete those old files

On my laptop, I have hundreds of now-useless documents. Stuff from high school, downloaded menus from takeout places, athletic schedules and whatever else can most likely be deleted from your technology. Those useless files take up space and can bog down your laptop’s speed, so take it on yourself to clean it up. 

Keep your physical files tidy

It’s true that most everything is paperless today. However, there still are important files that you need to keep safe and organized, ready at a moment’s notice when you need them. Loan documents, bank information and whatever else are some examples. 

Sort your pictures

I’m also guilty of hoarding all the pictures I take to the point where my phone gives me attitude if I try to save many more. Do your best to keep your pictures trimmed down and organized, also to stay organized and find things easily. There’s little more satisfying than having an efficient photo system that requires little upkeep to maintain. 

Other ideas include cleaning out your vehicle, sorting through old school supplies and discovering new business casual outfits for those interviews and professional occasions. 

Do your best to stay on top of school and life-related things, and you’ll thank yourself in the long-run.
