The school year is approaching, and there is a lot of stuff I didn't figure out how I'll do yet, like taking notes, studying from a textbook, etc. The only thing I'm certain about at this point is organization. In this blog post I'll discuss the way I organize my planner, and I will insert some pictures as well!
On the inside of my planner's cover I have multiple types of post-it notes for a few purposes:
1. not enough space on the weekly spread
2. highlight something extremely important
3. plan out something that is not happening for sure, but may happen
4. right down a phone number or some other piece of info
I also have a ridiculous amount of stickers, since arts and crafts are a little hobby of mine, so I like to make things prettier to motivate myself to stay organized
I really like using the monthly view to point out the test dates, the duration of trips/programs and other plan. As soon as I will get my syllabi from my courses in September, I will fill out the monthly spreads for important dates and examinations
My weekly view is not yet completed, though. Obviously, I will be filling it up as soon as plans will come up, and as the tasks are going to get more diverse and complicated, I will certainly colour code it a bit, but here is how it looks like right now. At the moment, I thing it will work great if I will only colour code the meetings in one colour, and examinations and assignments in the other, but the daily tasks will be recorder in black.
The notes section at the back of the planner is a great space to put my schedule into, as well as other academic notes. In my case, I put in potential subjects for the next few years, since it is important to keep track of the prerequisites early on. I also highlighted the courses that will complete my minor degree, and I've organized the courses by preferred semesters:
