Why I Took So Long To Start Revision

By Daryl Tay

Business processes exam is tomorrow and it took me forever to get started. Why? Because for this particular course I print out all my notes. And here’s how the paper in my room looks:

That Newsweek magazine is something I used for research in December 2007.

So basically I had to look in 6 places to find all my business processes notes:

  1. My floor
  2. My table
  3. Between a textbook
  4. My coffee table
  5. In my laptop bag
  6. In between my “recycled paper” stack (paper where I used one side but the back is blank). This was where a huge wave of relief washed over me because I thought I lost my notes for good.

I need to get a better filing system. Recommend me one?

    hey dear (= here’s an amazing two-prong strategy to achieve that “better filing system”:

    2) start a system after accomplishing #1 . cant ‘better’ a system without having one exist in the first place o_O

    if you are really discipline, get a file for each module and file your notes every week.

    messy but at least you know where your notes are. that’s how I file my notes >.<
