organize life. @ 8:57 AM
There's about a billion tools out there that are supposed to help make your life more organized, help you not procrastinate, help you be successful, etcetera -- everything from planners, to calendars, to apps that block Facebook. Throughout the year, I will be sharing tips and tricks that I've picked up since my first day of classes so that figuring out what works best for you will, hopefully, be a little bit easier.
WorkFlowy is one of my favorite tools to use. It's basically an ever-expanding outline list that makes it possible for you to organize your life down to the minutest detail, just like you would organize a paper. Moreover, you can also share parts of your outline with others; for instance, when you are working on a group project and want everyone's contribution in one place. You can also use hashtags, just like on Twitter, to prioritize when things will get done: #today, #soon, etcetera. Clicking on the hashtag will give you a task list for the day or the week.
I use WorkFlowy to organize everything from my class assignments to my grocery list and the projects I am working on at my internship. It's easy and free to set up an account, and the best part is, you can access it from any computer or phone with web-browsing capabilities!

Sevan Gatsby
Class of 2012
Hailing from a small town no one has ever heard of in Southern California, Sevan Gatsby is a Senior majoring in Architecture and Spanish and Latin American Cultures. She enjoys hosting dinner parties, designing publications, and learning languages. One of her favorite activities is bike riding on the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, but when the weather gets foul, she gets her exercise by exploring museums. She is an active member of Orchesis: a dance group, and has also enjoyed being a part of the McIntosh Activities Council and the New Student Orientation Program. She also does freelance graphic design for several campus organizations. After spending a semester in Madrid, she hopes to spend at least a year wandering the world and meeting new characters.
