My freshman year, I wrote in one color pen and every time I would open my planner I’d have a mini freak out because it looked like I was booked all day, every day. At the beginning of the semester, you can pick which color pen belongs to which activity. I also love (and strongly suggest getting) multicolored pens. This year has been the year of white-out for me, but if you hate crossing things out or making corrections, you may want to stick to pencil. To go along with your planner, you will need utensils to write in it. Related: Time Management is Your Best Friend Write it out (colorfully!!!) The last thing you want is to have too many line items and not enough lines! Now your serene, organized planner is messy and you’ve written in the margins. Do you want a monthly view, a weekly view, a daily view, or all three? Do you want to have to flip through to find the day of the week or do you want to just clip it so you can turn right to the current week? These are important questions, people! Another thing to keep in mind is how much you will be writing in it. When picking a planner, you want to decide how you will use it. If you’re like me and often switch your planner from your backpack to your purse to your other purse, a smaller one might make more sense.
If you plan on carrying it in your backpack and you like to write big, there are larger 8”x11” planners. Pick on in a size that will be helpful to you. Sometimes your college will provide you with a planner, but you can find them at Target, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., depending on what you’re looking for. Yes, I know you have apps on your phone (and I’ll get to them in a sec), but I have found my paper planner to be invaluable. So without further ado, here are my best organization tips. Don’t let this happen to you beef up your college organization skills! Soon they miss assignments, forget about commitments, and feel the overwhelming pressure of having too much to do and not enough time to do it. You will be busy with classes, clubs, friends, a job, and seemingly about a million other commitments, and it’s very easy to get frazzled with all of this on your plate! The mistake that most college students make, though, is not organizing their lives in a helpful way-or in any way at all. College changes up your sleep schedule and your study habits, whether you plan for it to or not.
