Life Hacks for Back to School | Collab with Prettily Painted

Hi guys so as back to school is fast approaching I thought that today I would do a kind of advice blogpost on how to make going back to school a lot easier as I know it can be tough to get back into routine, plus I am going into Year 11 this year which is really scary to me but I feel that I can really give advice based of past experience. This post is also a collab with prettily painted here in the blog community you can check her blog out via this link www.prettilypainted.blogspot.co.uk and her blog and Instagram are both flawless. 

1. The night before:

I find it really helpful when going back to school to get everything ready the night before as when I do I am in a little less of a rush the next morning trying to collect all of my things. I am sometimes guilty of leaving things till the morning but if you give yourself a little insight that if you get everything ready on the night you can have 5 or 10 minutes extra in bed and who can't deny more sleep on a morning! 

2. Organisation

I find it personally really helpful to keep all of my work organised in big ring binder folders as when you go back to school you can just pick out the folders you have for the particular lessons that day and take them into school. Although I don't take my folders into school with me as I feel like I don't need to I like to have all my existing work in one place to help me locate it easier when it comes to revision. I also recommend getting a five subject notebook as I use them for revision to keep it all in one place so I don't have loads of loose sheets all around. I feel that if you become more organised when you go back to school you are going to learn better as you know where all your work is if you need it to help you. Also folders are great for organising controlled assessments as I did this for my science controlled assessment last year and it worked great. 

3, Multiple Alarms

My final tip is something I've sworn by for years now and that is using multiple alarms to get you up in the morning, as when you use just one alarm you are more likely to press snooze and sleep in longer whereas if you have two or three alarms to wake you up you get sick of turning alarms off so you get up in the end. Plus you also can get a few extra minutes sleep knowing that you're not going to sleep in as there is going to be an alarm waking you up. I highly recommend doing this as I prefer two alarms to one and I have been using this method for about 1-2 years now.
