3. Set up Jedi Binders using the Jedi Binder Handout

• We will all set up our binders so they are identical and organized. Organization is a foundational tenet of the Jedi order. A Jedis mind must be clear of clutter and distraction, so we can apply Focus, gain knowledge, and earn wisdom through practice. We cannot be at our best when we are constantly searching for something we cannot find.
