How to Use Your Planner

In high school and college there’s a whole lot to keep track of. It can be overwhelming! If you don’t have a plan, it’s easy to forget things, miss deadlines, or find yourself running out of time.

You need a system to keep track of everything to keep stress low, achieve academic success, and enjoy school and life!

What does your system need? All of your commitments in one central location. By putting your assignments, activities and projects into your planner you can easily see what your week or month holds.

As a student you know that school work is just part of the big picture. You may have jobs, sports, clubs, and volunteering, as well as hanging out with friends. By adding all of these extracurricular and social activities to your planner, you can see how it all works together. With the full picture you can effectively manage your time.

Write down your goals for your year.

Studies show that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them than people who don’t.

Use the different sections of the day (Remember to, Quizzes/Tests/Projects/Papers, Assignments and Activities) to write down your schedule and to-do’s for each day.

Pro tip: fill this out on the weekend to give you a sense of what your upcoming week looks like. Some people plan as far in advance as possible while others do it week to week. Whatever you decide, make it a habit.

Set a reminder on your phone (like “Plan your week!”) and you’ll be a planning pro in no time.
