Organization

• Adding a magnetic dry-erase board or notepad to the inside of your locker door can help you keep track of important assignments and messages. Writing information in one central location, instead of relying on loose scraps of paper, can improve your punctuality. Avoid fumbling around your locker for meeting or assignment details.
  
  Posting a calendar in your locker gives you quick access to scheduled events. This can be a lifesaver when needing to remember important details, such as when to grab gym clothes or rarely used books.
  
  Placing dividers, bins or shelves in your locker can streamline your available space. Breaking your locker into sections for books, clothing and personal items helps prevent class time tardiness. It also keeps assignments from becoming lost or damaged.
  
  

Decoration

• Choosing a theme can make it easier to find coordinating accessories. It can also display your personal style and provide a refuge from hectic school life. Locker decorations that pay homage to your favorite musician or sports team can provide motivation during class changes. Using your school colors as inspiration can demonstrate your school pride.
  
  Covering the inside of your locker with contact or wrapping paper can make a creative statement. Measure your locker, accounting for issues such as storage hooks and static shelving. Applying the decorative paper after school can ensure you have enough time to do a neat job. Consider changing the paper out to reflect different seasonal or holiday events.
  
  Sticking up pictures of your friend can increase the "fun factor" inside your locker. Change out pictures as new events happen and as you get bored of seeing the old images.
  
  Scenting your locker with an air-freshener or potpourri sachet can help you avoid a stuffy locker. It can also help pull your theme together. For example, adding a peppermint-scented air freshener to a Christmas-themed locker can elevate its overall appeal.
