papers, etc., everything that
has to get done.

Now, beside your list
(which, if you’re like me is
kinda long) on the left hand
side, label each one with
either an A, B. or C. Label
all assignments that are
most important, or the most
late, with the letter A. All
the assignments that are not
late or not as important,
label with a B.. And all the
rest.that are not as urgent,
or don’t have to be done
right away, label with a C.

That may seem easy to
do, but now what you have
to do is stick to that sched-
ule. Always do the A’s first.
They are top priority.

Make a daily ‘‘to do’’ list.
Update it every day, and
routinely at the same time
every day. Do it after you

    
  
      
       
   
  
  
    
     
   
   
  
      
 

 

get home, when you first get
to school, at lunch, when-
ever. As long as it becomes
a habit. This helps you get
into a routine which will
help you get everything
completed on time, and get
caught up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

arises, is that you never
seem to have enough time to
get the really big projects
started, so you do a bunch
of © work as. filler. That’s
wrong! That’s what you
made the list for in the first
place! The C work may be
easier to do, but it’s the A
work that’s screaming to get
done! So do it! The A work
is the most important work
that needs to be done, and
it’s not going to get any
nearer to completion if you

Sometimes you won’t
have time to do a whole
project in one sitting. Then
you should use the ‘Swiss
cheeses’ approach. This in-
volves seperating the work
into smaller segments that
can be done individually.
That way, when you sit
down to do your homework,

 

Ask yourself the question,
“What is the best way to
use my time right now?’
That will help you get start-
ed on organizing your avail-
able time into constructive
use.

One problem that often

you can still do the A
projects first, by doing a
single segment.

1) List all assignments,
papers, etc. that have to
been done or are late.

.2) Make a daily ‘to do’ list.

Remember to update it often
and on a regular basis.

3) Assign an A, B, or C to
each piece in order of im
portance.

4) Ask_ yourself ‘what is
the best use of my time?’

'5) Always do the A mater-

ial first. It’s no use putting
it off if it’s important
enough.

If you follow these few
simple (who’s he trying to
kid) rules, you should find
that you'll get your work
done on time, efficiently,
and without late penalties.
