Organizing tips

Outlook Inbox

• Create a "Student" folder and a subfolder for each student.
• Move received and sent messages to their folder. This habit takes a few extra seconds but can save a lot of headaches when needing to refer to the lastest conversation with a student.
• Consider a folder for your department and college information, committees, advisor forum, etc.

OneDrive

• Create folders for advising committees, professional development, goals, and evaluations. This is a great way to keep meeting notes and shared documents organized.
