It’s always important to use the right tools for any job. Success in school is no different. If you need to vary your time management tool box, consider these less traditional tools. 1..

Daily Task List

A daily task list is nothing more than a notepad that you use to list your daily goals. 2.. Cross them off as you finish them. At the end of each day, simply carry over any job that you didn’t finish to the next day’s list. It works wonders!

Big Well Calendar

Simply place the big wall calendar in a prominent place near your regular study space. Then come up with a color code for your classes(like green for math and yellow for history). When you have a big due date or a test date, place the appropriate colored sticker on that date. 3., so it works as a constant reminder. This trick is simple, cheap, and so effective!

Sticky Note Flags

4., whether you’re putting together a big research project or you’re simply reading a book. Whenever you need to remember to take a certain object or assignment to school, place a sticky flag on the door knob, bathroom mirror, or the cereal box the night before. It works like an alarm!

Bedside Notepad

You can keep a notepad beside your bed to write down any items or tasks you have to remember for the next day. As you settle in for the night, take a few moments to think about the things you need to do tomorrow. Then write them down and tear off the sheet in the morning. 5.!

A. Remember to pack it in your schoolbag.

B. Keep your homework and your life in order

C. Two heads are better than one when it comes to projecting due dates

D. You could also use the calendar feature to alert you when projects are due

E. These little paper banners are lifesavers when it comes to getting organized

F. Carry a small pad around and write down every task you need to complete

G. The sticker will be something you can see every time you enter the room.
