Remember this!

Did you remember to do that project? What about that paper?

I don’t know about you but I have a hard time remembering when everything is due. However, I have recently discovered some great ways to be reminded of what is do when and what not, so I thought I would share them with you:

• Written Planner. I don’t know what I would do without my planner that I keep in my backpack. At the end of every class I pull it out and write down what I have to do as I am packing up. I was missing my planner for the first week of school and was so lost.
• Wall Calendar. Nothing beats a good old fashioned wall calendar. I take each class schedule, assign each class its own color, then go and write each due date for that class on the calendar. Every Sunday night I take a look to see what is coming up.
• Phone Reminders. What is the one thing we always have with us? Our phone! The reminders app/calendar on our phones our extremely helpful in keeping up on track. I set reminders on my phone to remember just about everything—from grabbing my lunch to asking a professor a question. You can also set your reminders to alert you when you get to a certain location (like campus).

Hopefully these little reminder tips will help you stay on track this semester so we can all keep thriving here at MC.

How do you keep your deadlines and work on track?
