1. Have a Weekly or a Daily Planner
If you have a planner, you could be assured that your assignments or any preparations are due on time. Planner, will give you confidence in time, reduce stress and definitely increase or maintain your average by always keeping you prompt and professional.
- Use Different Colours For Different Types of Events (School-Related, Personal etc).
This way, you will be able to differentiate between the tasks and you won't have to keep separate planners.
- Be Very Specific When Writing To Do Lists.
Specific tasks usually means smaller and precise tasks, so when you approach a goal in that manner, it will help you get stuff done a lot better and faster, which will create a certain feel of satisfaction.
- Change The Due Dates
If you know, that you are a big procrastinator, and get things done the night before, then give your self one additional night by moving the due dates of certain projects the day before its due. This way you have one more day to review your work alone or with a teacher and correct any left over mistakes. If you are a person, who likes to hand stuff in late, just don't do so. It will quickly become a habit and therefore will decrease your marks, and ruin your reputation as a professional, prompt individual. In case you absolutely have to postpone the due date, inform your teacher some time before and come up with an ultimate deadline.
2. Prepare Stuff the Night Before
No, not homework. Other stuff. If you prepare your clothing, food, or whatever it maybe in the evening, you could save yourself a lot of time in the morning, and definitely still get to school on time.
3. Have a Morning Routine
Having a routine or a schedule, you can control your time and not be stressed about being late.
- Give Yourself 10-15 Minutes To Do Each Task.
(For example, it takes you an hour to get ready: 15 minutes in the bathroom; 15 minutes - breakfast; 15 minutes - make-up; 15 minutes - clothing).
- Set a Reminder 15 Minutes Before Leaving Home.
This way, you know for sure when to leave, and in case you slept-in, it will be an "emergency case" where you would have to your routine a lot faster.
General
1. Don't Carry Extra or Less
Obviously, a huge backpack can be an issue. To avoid it, here is what you can do:
- Have a Big Binder at Home, and a Small One - in Your Bag.
If you have multiple subjects, get a huge binder and divide it into how many section you'd like. After each unit, place all of your notes into the big binder, and only carry a smaller one with you for current notes.
- Have a Big Pencil Case.
Having a big pencil case, preferably with different compartments is very beneficial no matter which subjects you're taking. You could fit your school supplies. chargers, cosmetics, money and whatever you'd like all in one place. Remember the required school supplies for you class.
- Have 2 of Everything
We all know those pencil stealers. Before letting someone borrow your supplies, make sure you have a needed amount for yourself. Also, in case you like losing or breaking your supplies, have multiples of everything will help too.
2. Have Your Schedule as a Phone Background
Good-old trick that all students use, when having irregular, new or intense schedule. It will definitely save you some time on the way to class, but make sure to have a printed copy of your schedule somewhere in your planner or a back-pack as well!
