As a college student, keeping up with my work is very important in every aspect of the academic life. What I have done in the past, was looking at the class syllabus for every class and finding out when the next essay is due. But I found out that there is an easy way to keep up with your classes...
It's called the D's Due & Do Organizer...
It's perfect for those people who have a very busy life with classes and activities like sports and other extra-curricular activities.
The example that you see above (Excuse my handwriting), is a monthly calendar in my agenda that has all the due dates for each assignment. But also this organizer helps you to DO the work. You divide the day between two columns: one for the assignments that are due and another for the days to work on the assignments. For example, on February 23, I have the weekly journal due for CLS 105. In addition to the due date, I specified when I want to work on the journal. As you can see, I am planning to work on the journal on the day before (February 22). This also works for exams too. On the weekend from February 14-18, I have three exams back to back. Not only I am going to study the day before, but also I am studying during the weekend. As the month goes along, I plan to add more assignments to the list.
Now I can keep up with my work, have specific days to work on each assignments in order to not get very stressed, and have quality time for myself.
I liked your title alot it really drew my attention and want to read your blog. I agree with what you said in your first sentence about keeping up with work this is so true. You did a great job of describing the D's Due and Do organizer I also liked this strategy the best. I was wondering if you are a visual learner? I am a visual learner which is why this strategy helped me alot.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that this method is perfect for your classes because it helps you prepare ahead of time and can help you chunk the task bit by bit and complete the assignment beforehand without stressing !
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have a lot going on at one time, so this method is perfect for you. I really find it impressive how well you are splitting up your time, especially because you have so much work to do for next week. GOOD LUCK!
