Organisation

(belongings)

I DEMONSTRATED THIS
SKILL
SKILL

I organise my belongings by grouping them

into categories, colours or sizes.
I have a particular place for each of my
belongings so I always know where something
is.

I have a routine so I can find my belongings
easily e.g. I get home and straight away put
my bag in its special place.
I practise using my organisational systems

until they become automated habits. This
means I do not need reminders from someone
else.
I always put things away as soon as I am
finished with them. I do this before I do
anything else so they are in the right place the

next time.
I put things away carefully and in exactly the

right place so the area is kept neat and tidy.
I put aside time each day to keep on top of

routines that keep me organised and tidy e.g.
checking through my bag or filing away
papers and emails.
I have ways to make sure I remember the
materials I need for the day / start of a task

e.g. a checklist.
I prepare ahead of time (Prep4Best), thinking
through what I will need for the task/day.

I have ways to make sure I have remembered

everything I need e.g. a picture / bullet
checklist which I tick off each time.
