Tip #23: Use a Planner

I would recommend this one to anyone - not just university students!

My planner is absolutely essential to my academic success! It helps me remember assignments, meetings and work commitments. I like to use one of those ones that opens like a calendar, so that I don't get surprises when I flip pages to the next week (since you've got a whole month on a page).

Along with my planner, I keep myself organized is by making a colour-coded spreadsheet at the beginning of every week, detailing hour-by-hour what I have planned. It's actually a great system that I'd recommend to anyone. You can't forget things when they are staring at you in bright colours! It's also easier to see spaces that will be good for study time. There are also online planner/schedule-thingys that I know some people use if you're more high-tech!
