Then, as time allows, make an effort to chip away at future projects. Instead of only focusing on what is due in the next few days, for example, take a macro view and consider what assignments are due this month. Think about the "big picture" of your school schedule. Take into account how long assignments will take, as well.Tests should always be marked as high priority in your planner. For example, if you have a 5 page English paper that’s due in a week, that assignment should take priority over a science project that’s due in a month.This will help keep you focused on assignments as they come due and keep you from getting bogged down by trying to do too many assignments at once. Beyond just budgeting time for your assignments, you will also want to rank your assignments in order of importance and due date. Write neatly and be sure to write in erasable pencil or use white out to make changes to assignments written in ink. Avoid scribbling out words or writing illegibly. A chaotic-looking planner that you can't read or understand won't help you focus. If you use a physical planner, be sure to keep it neat.For example, use blue tabs to denote upcoming assignments or tests, red tabs to show your work schedule, and yellow tabs to show your social schedule.
Using color coded tabs or sticky notes can help you keep track of your assignments work, and extracurricular schedule. You can use either a physical notebook-style planner or download an app on your phone or tablet.This will help you stay focused on your work and keep you from becoming overwhelmed, which can lead to procrastinating. Writing your assignments in a planner will help you visualize your day, week, or month ahead and help you plan your assignments around work and social events. This is especially important if you have a busy extracurricular schedule or are on the forgetful side.
