What tools or habits do you use to stay organized?
"I consider myself very adept at tracking my progress on any given task so I can effectively pick up where I left off when the need arises for me to be flexible and needing to change gears. I'm extremely systems oriented in my approach. Whether they're systems implemented for tracking my work or implementing systems for the office that everyone can use, I'm always developing tips and tricks to do the job the right way, right away."
Attention to detail is only valuable when accomplishing set goals and meeting deadlines isn't sacrificed for quality. Explain your process for proofing your work for errors while striking a balance between quality and quantity. Items you want to touch on in your answer are your organizational skills and your methodology or approach to project management, the level of your attention to detail, and the standard you set for your work.
When answering questions about how organized you are, you want your appearance and your personal space to be consistent with the words used to relay your answer. Your personal space is a reflection of your professionalism and work ethic. So make sure you choose a space for your recorded interview that is clear of distractions, is not too cluttered, and is neat, tidy, and organized.
When describing your work style and ethic, consider how you might already operate by some or all of these business principles, as outlined by JP Morgan Chase; "Ensure that every role, every person and every detail count. Get a little better every day - continually raise the bar. Manage change with deliberate speed. Deliver results; investigate, analyze and improve when problems arise. Anticipate problems, be prepared with solutions."

I have become a pro at this. For school, I have every notification and app turned on for assignments and whatnot. I check my email every morning and throughout the day. I also keep a monthly planner where I write my schedule for the day too.

Nice! Reminders, apps, and planners are all great ways to stay organized. Do you keep a to-do list or prioritize projects by urgency and importance? If so, mention this as well. Include an example of a time when your organizational skills helped you complete a challenging or time-sensitive task. Excellent!
