Perfecting your organizational skills in college may be more challenging than expected. However, it is not impossible to master. Staying organized is more than just an aesthetic planner; it’s the key to grades and time management. Let me break down how my planner has helped me master organization as a college student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, find yourself a planner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might think, “Well, I don’t write in mine, so I never use it.” Let me tell you; there is a planner out there for everyone. Find one that works for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer larger planners. I like to have a lot of weekly and monthly space to write out all of my classes, color-coordinate them, and more! Here is a photo of my planner: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, create a method that makes sense to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to organizing, color-coordinating is a MUST. I “assign” different colors for each of my classes, and highlight the most critical tasks for the week. For example, I have always coordinated blue with my marketing classes, so I use a blue pen to easily recognize of my studies for the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how my weekly layout usually looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may look messy to some, (because I like to cross things out as I go) but this method is the key to my classes’ success. At the beginning of each semester, I go through all of my class syllabi and fill out future projects and exams. Filling out important due dates ahead of time has made a significant difference in how productive I am during the week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
