While this is obviously important, it is not the only thing you are involved in, and you want to remember your dinner plans and your practice sessions just as much as you want to remember to write your Music History paper, so why not put them in your planner, too?<br><br>Great point!

I had a teacher in High School who kept post-it notes all over the edge of his computer monitor with reminders and dates/times of meetings he needed to enter into his calendar. It worked extremely well for him! The important thing to remember is to do whatever works for you. It seems you've found something that works for you--keep it up!<br><br>Thanks for stopping by :) A.D. – Post-It notes are a GREAT way to stay organized!

I tried making to-do lists to organize my day, and it was effective. But I've been looking for another method to try and organize my day. Thank you for the insight. I am definitely going to be trying this idea out. I am a sophomore in college and I found out last year that I am not an organized person.

I thought I could just remember everything mentally, but things got busier than I anticipated. This year, I'm sticking with writing everything down. Not just homework, but who I'm having dinner with and what times I practice and other things like that. When it's all written out, I can manage my time more efficiently.

I like to carry little booklets of bright post-it notes to jot stuff down on instead. I stick it to my desk or computer when I get back to my room, and then transfer it to my planner as soon as I find time.
