I NEED to get Organized!
Dan: I am really starting to feel the squeeze of college right before Thanksgiving as all my professors try to get as much done as possible before break. Unfortunately, when you multiply that by five professors all trying to do the same thing the effect is not pleasant. In due part, I find myself digging through papers, trying to find previous assignments and informational packets. For the most part, I am quite organized in retrospect of previous semesters, but I am still having a difficult time. I could really use an organizational system such as a filing cabinet to get my classes together. For someone like me it would make a wonderful and useful gift.
I could make a drawer a single subject or class (or a file a single subject or class). Then I can additionally add subsets to the courses such as assignments, notes, and exams. For the time being I will make due, but if you know someone who has many things to keep track of and does not have the equipment to do it…this is the perfect gift. It is proven that organization reduces stress and can enhance your productivity. Many people question how important being organized really is. It really is that important when it comes down to those rare moments when you need that certain item and cannot find it.
Grace: Dan, I completely agree with this gift. I’ve always talked about getting some kind of desk or filing cabinet for school, but I’ve never gotten around to it and really regret not buying one. Although many schools provide desks, there’s no such thing as too much organization! The best thing about these set of drawers is that you can use them after college too, since they look so nice. I would definitely recommend them as a gift!
