Part 2 - Your Planner is Your Friend
============================
When you are organized, that will help you achieve your goals in a timely manner. You need to organize your tasks so you will know what needs to be accomplished and when they need to be accomplished. No student should be without a daily planner.

You have probably used various kinds of planning tools before, including a daily or weekly planner, a month-at-a-glance planner, and so on. It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of scheduling is not to enslave you to your planner, but rather to record your decisions about when certain things should happen.

Your planner should include your schedule for classes, study time, social events, club meetings, exercise time, and any other time necessary to achieve your goals. Keep the planner with you during class and note all assignments along with the due dates of those assignments.  Check them off as you complete them so you know where you are at all times with your projects.

Refer to your planner often - multiple times a day.  Make this a regular part of your routine.  When you get up in the morning, look at your planner to see what needs to be done for that day.  

If you have an appointment, be sure to include a phone number next to the notation in case you have to cancel or change times.

Use a highlighter.  Color-coding can help differentiate between appointments and assignments.  For example, highlight in blue your classes, yellow for assignments, and green for everything else.  The key here is easy recognition.  When you open your planner, you can easily see what needs to be done.


Next time we'll be discussing a little about "Time Management 101".
