I’m sure you saw this one coming, but it’s essential! Having a schedule where you can input your to-do list into specific time slots will be the easiest way to keep track of everything. Planners with monthly, weekly, and daily pages are extremely useful for tracking priorities (which will be discussed soon). If you need a good planner, I highly recommend this one for all of your time management needs. Following your schedule religiously is the most important aspect of balancing school and your personal life. Get in the habit of writing notes, random thoughts, and ideas that you have as you go about your day into the planner as well. You should treat it as your second brain, so that way you don’t have to clutter everything in your real one!
