Time Management Aids to Good Planning:
Calendars: Get the big picture by using a yearly calendar to keep track of important dates, meetings, holidays, etc. Schedule weekly to do lists in your calendar and use it religiously! To-Do Lists: Plan daily activities by listing everything you have to do, then assigning priorities to each task. Cross off items as you finish them. • Divide the list and prioritize:
• Fixed Commitments: Tasks you must do at a certain time, such as meetings appointments, classes, sleeping, meals, job • Flexible Commitments: Obligations you can meet on your own time, such as study times, homework, social events, and time spent with friends
