One of the best ways for people with dyslexia to get organized is to simply use a calendar. Whether it’s a large wall calendar, a pocket journal, or an app, using a calendar helps you remember important deadlines and dates as well as use your time efficiently. Don’t just mark the date something is due, also mark the date you need to start, as well as any checkpoints in-between. Related to using a calendar, planning your day can help you use your time more efficiently, which can sometimes be a challenge for people with dyslexia. Think about the quickest and most logical way of doing things. This allows you to spend more time on tasks that take you a little longer.  Prioritize your tasks so that you can make the best use of your time. Think about which tasks are urgent, important, or unavoidable as well as which tasks will be time-intensive for you. Make a schedule to help guide your day. Try to schedule things that require a lot of focus during your more productive times of the day. Remember to include short breaks in your daily plan to allow your mind to recharge and refocus. People with dyslexia often struggle with remembering things. Making lists helps you be more organized and reduces the number of things you have to remember, which can free your mind to focus on tasks that require more concentrated attention.  Make lists of things you need to do, remember, keep with you, pick up, etc. Remember to refer to your lists throughout the day – they won’t do you any good if you don’t.  If you need to, make a master list of your other lists and refer to that one frequently.

summary: Use a calendar. Plan your day. Make lists.

Avoid shelving books too tightly or leaning against one another as this can cause lasting warping, structural damage, and cracking. When shelving, place books of similar height and length next to one another to avoid stressing the spine.  Placing a book flat is an alternative to upright shelving. However, when shelving a book horizontally be sure to put as little weight on top of it as possible.  Grab the middle of the spine when removing a book from a shelf to avoid damaging the head (top) and foot (bottom) of the spine. Place your books in a controlled climate to help prolong the book's quality. Sunlight, heat, and humidity can all have negative effects on the book's binding, structure, and page quality.  Humidity can cause mildew to grow on your books. If you live in a particularly humid environment, and mildew begins to grow, simply wipe the mildew with a very dry cloth and leave the book in sunlight for 30-45 minutes. Be careful not to leave it longer as sunlight can cause the cover to fade.  If a rare or fragile book grows mildew bring it to a specialist in book conservation. Clean your books regularly in order to prevent natural wear and tear and increase the quality of their storage. Dusting your books will help reduce permanent page and cover aging.  Make sure to dust your books from the spine outward so dust does not settle behind the spine.  Avoid storing books in plastic bags. Books need to breathe and plastic can cause molding or warping. Instead, try wrapping the book in acid-free cloth or purchases a book storage box.

summary: Shelve books upright. Keep books out of direct sunlight and in a cool area. Keep your books clean.

You want to make sure that you keep this between the two of you for now. Unless you're looking for that drunken make-out in a bar situation with your straight best friend, it's best to keep things private if the girl means something to you. Unless you're both out, she may not be comfortable kissing you in a public, or even a semi-public setting, and the kiss will mean more anyway if you're alone. Here are some private places to try to kiss the girl:  Invite her over to watch a movie. Dim the lights and watch her body language as the movie progresses. You could try to kiss her during the movie or afterward. Invite her over for a sleepover. If you're the right age, then having a sleepover can be a good way to get more intimate with the girl and to try to get her to kiss you in a private place. Just make sure you read the signs carefully and try it when it's almost time for bed. If you try to kiss her right away and she's not into it, that would make for an awkward evening. Go for a walk to a private place in the evening. Go for a walk through a park or garden as the sun is setting and find a private spot there. This would also be a more romantic setting. If you've chosen a bedroom, lie on the bed next to her, then move closer and try to snuggle a little and see how she responds and try to give her a little hug but not too obvious and then lean over a touch her lips with yours and see how she responds. If you're standing up, try to touch her face. If she touches yours, or adjusts your hair or picks lint off your jacket, those are good signs. Only go forward if she seems open to your advances so far. If she seems standoffish or tries to make a lot of jokes, looks around the room, or seems distracted, back off.  Try touching her hair. Tell her you like her hair or the way she's styled it. Touch her jewelry and tell her you like them. This is a sneaky way to get closer to her. Gently graze her arm or shoulder. Keep making physical contact as you're talking. Lean closer to her. If you're lying down, move your body closer to her as you speak. Put her at ease, and try to make her feel safe. She may want to kiss you, but she could also be scared about it at the same time. Talk to her and act casual, but not too casual. Make sure she has a hint that you like her as more than a friend. Here are some things that you can say to put her at ease:  If she resists at all, calm her nerves by saying, "Are you scared?" If she says yes, tell her not to be, and just give her a nice hug and let her go. If she says, "A little," ask, "Of me?"  If she says no, you should move closer to her. Nuzzle into her a little bit, but if she backs off, tries to move away, or squirms, stop immediately. If she nuzzles into you or returns any kind of affection, look at her. If she is gazing back at you, look at her mouth.  If you notice that she's looking at your mouth, she is definitely ready.  If her eyes are closed or half closed, reach under her chin and gently tip her face up so that you can look at her. Don't shove your tongue down her throat, and don't make it a marathon. Kiss her gently at first. If she responds warmly, by kissing you back, you can kiss her again, and let the kiss deepen as the moment grows. But for a first kiss, try to use some restraint and make it really romantic and wonderful.  That doesn't mean you make it a chaste, boring kiss either - part your lips slightly, making sure they're kissable and soft by licking them slightly. When you kiss her, hold her and make it romantic and sweet. If this is your first kiss of many with this girl, you'll both have very fond memories of this moment, so make it count. If your kiss starts getting more intense, you can let your hands wander if you are exploring each other's bodies. If the girl is shyer, she may be waiting for you to make more of the moves. Making "the" move is the most detrimental part of getting her to kiss you. You need to be 100% prepared and sure that this is the decision you're willing to make. Do you need to be sure that if this has a potential to ruin your friendship, do you really want to go through with it? After you kiss her smile don't look awkward and uninterested, you can also give her a hug and snuggle together.
summary: Find a private place. Make physical contact upon receiving consent. Make her comfortable. Move closer. Have an unforgettable first kiss.
