Use Your Planner!

Organization is the first step in becoming a better student, and using a planner is extremely helpful in keeping you organized and on top of things.

Write down all of your homework, projects, papers, quizzes, and tests as you find out about them. Keep up with your planner by updating it each day with new assignments. Check your planner before starting your homework for the day, and plan out in what order you will complete the assignments. Cross out each assignment after you’re done with it so you have a visual of what’s left.

Having all of your assignments laid out in a planner certainly helps you make sure that you don’t forget about one. But it also allows you to plan ahead and manage your time better since you can see all of the work you have to get done and each one’s due date all in one place.

Writing down what you want to get done makes you more likely to accomplish your goals, as opposed to just setting the goals in your mind. By writing it down, it is a constant reminder that it needs to be done. There also is no better feeling than crossing something off of a list once it is done!

Lastly, using a planner to keep track of assignments and deadlines prepares you for college, where organization is even more important since you have more to get done and deadlines are more important. Using a planner is a good habit to carry with you to college, and will definitely help you along the way. Now is the time to make the change and become a more organized student!
