Planners are a great way to stay organized during the semester and are easy to bring on-the-go!  Whether you use a paper planner or a planner on your phone, it is essential to utilize a planner in order to be aware of important information (dates, times, exams, appointments).  There are various different kinds of planners so it is important to choose one that best suits your needs.

In order to effectively utilize your planner, go through your syllabi after the first couple days of classes, and copy down important dates.  By copying down important dates ahead of time, you will avoid wasting precious time during the semester that could be used more effectively!  Planners are also a great place to document homework assignments, projects, and work schedules.  Utilizing a planner will help you better manage your time throughout the semester as well as in your future career!
