Using a Yearly or Semester Planner
You might be very good at using your phone or computer's calendar, but it is also a good idea to have a planner dedicated to study tasks and Assessment due dates.
A yearly planner, you can place on your wall or by your desk, allows you to plan your work and helps to remind you about deadlines and upcoming commitments.
- Place the planner in a position where you have easy access to it.
- Write in the dates when assignments are due and exams are scheduled.
- Work out how long you will need to complete each task. Allow yourself plenty of time. Remember to allow for extra workload. If you have several assignments due at the same time, you will need to begin each task even earlier than usual.
- Set start dates for each task. Write them on your planner.
- Draw lines back from the due dates to ‘start’ dates. Use different colour pens for different subjects, assignments or exams. Doing this will give you a good indication of how much time you have to complete tasks and cue you to start them.
