Like a lot of other people, my favorite tip is to use an
agenda. I like to write out every
assignment for all my classes, using a different color of ink for each of
class, another for my work hours, and another for any additional appointments
or events in my life. Obviously, a lot
of current college students are from the generation that was forced to use
planners throughout middle school, so it became a fantastic tool once we reached
college. Thanks to all those teachers
who required it!

However, I take the calendar game one step further by also
having a dry erase calendar on the wall next to my desk. This way, I don’t have to always have my
planner out next to me to see what I need to work on next. It’s also a nice way of being able to check
things off and not be cluttering up my desk while I’m working.
I’ve done both of these since freshman year and they have
been a huge help in keeping me organized and submitting my assignments on
time. I’m definitely a procrastinator,
so being able to look two or three weeks ahead when I’m doing my homework can
help me buckle down so I get some down time or so that I have time to work on
that big assignment that is coming up!
