Ever feel like time has gotten away from you, especially when you realize that we are already at the end of week 2?

Well my friends, it’s time to get organized.

Every week you have 168 hours to manage. This includes classes, student organizations, studying, sleeping, eating, working and socializing.

At the beginning of the semester, take an hour to sit down with all of your syllabi, the academic calendar, student organization schedules, work hours, etc., and write down all of the items that you already have scheduled. After you have blocked off those items, you will start to see time frames when you can study or socialize.

If you get into this habit every term and check your planner daily, you will manage your time much better and feel more organized.

Want an app instead of paper? Try out iStudiez, iProcrastinate, RescuTime, or Sunrise.
