The Big Wall Calendar

Wednesday March 26, 2008

There is a perfect organization tool for everybody. I've mentioned a time or two that colored sticky flags are my favorite. When you find the perfect tool for your lifestyle--something that becomes an easy part of your daily routine--you might find that your grades improve dramatically.

The giant wall calendar is one of those tools that can make a big difference in your school performance. By purchasing two items, the big wall calendar and a pack of colored stickers, you can come up with a great system for getting assignments done on time.

Simply place the big wall calendar in a prominent place near your regular study space. Then come up with a color code for your classes (like green for math and yellow for history). When you have a big due date or a test date, place the appropriate colored sticker on that date. The sticker will be something you can see every time you enter the room, so it works as a constant reminder. This trick is simple, cheap, and so effective!
