You were about to make a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youngsdairy.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Young\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> run when your classmate sends you the text: Just finished my paper! Paper? Frantically, you check the Canvas calendar. Sure enough, due at 11:59 p.m. is the term paper that completely slipped your mind. You check the clock. 6:08 p.m. You have just under six hours to crank out eight pages proving you know a thing or three about the class. Skipping dinner, you work nonstop, and your submission is loaded into Canvas three minutes before the deadline. You fall into the bed, pull the sheets over your head, and finally get the z\u2019s you\u2019ve been fighting all night<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Does this sound familiar? What if I told you this didn\u2019t have to be your reality? That you could have had the work turned in days ago? Below are helpful tips for staying academically organized and becoming the student your professors dream of<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Plan for your week.<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is likely the most common \u2014 and annoying \u2014 advice you\u2019ve received in relation to time management. You likely fall on a spectrum between \u201cThat just isn\u2019t me! I\u2019m not the planner type,\u201d and \u201cMy Google calendar has had my assignments color-coded since the first week of school.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Newsflash: both of these people are turning in assignments somewhere around 11:45 p.m<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The reason your planning isn\u2019t working isn\u2019t because of the method! Yes, people are different, and the method that works seamlessly for one seems absolutely absurd to another. But no, the hours you spent poring over the book with the acclaimed \u201cbest system for organization\u201d probably wasn\u2019t worth it. Any system can be effective as long as you know your strengths and weaknesses. The key to effective weekly planning is internalization. There are two factors to achieving this idea:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Times New Roman\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Choose a day of the week to review your assignments for the following week so there are no surprises. You\u2019ll get a good idea of how busy you\u2019ll be during the week and which days would be wise to set aside to get some things done.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Times New Roman\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do a quick review of the entire syllabus on each planning day to make yourself aware of big projects you might want to be thinking about. If there\u2019s extra time in the upcoming week, knock out the first paragraph to that final paper that\u2019s due in a month! You\u2019ll thank yourself when the due date comes closer \u2014 and when you feel every other professor must\u2019ve placed a bet on who can assign the most work to their students.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Utilize the awkward \u201cin-between\u201d moments to cross one more thing off your planner.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t wait until you have five free hours to sit down and get all your work done. While it\u2019s nice to knock out everything at once, these moments are rare. That 30 minutes you have in between classes can be used to accomplish much more than you think! It could be finding a new source for your paper, scribbling a few math problems, or even just reviewing for an upcoming test. These minutes add up!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These are also great times to work on small parts of big projects. While it theoretically feels good to hunker down and complete that 10-page paper from start to finish in one sitting, in reality, it\u2019s not practical, realistic, or productive. We approach burnout more quickly working on the same assignment for seven hours straight, and we end up producing work far below the quality of which we\u2019re capable. Breaking up these multi-part assignments means we spend less time on it as a whole, and we can produce something we\u2019re actually proud to attach our names to.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Before you know it, you\u2019ll be in bed at 9 p.m. every night thinking you\u2019ve forgotten something \u2026 it\u2019s a melatonin. Get the rest you\u2019ve earned.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t overcommit. You know yourself!<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">People are different from each other. Some may find that they work better on a packed schedule, and others need more time to sort things out. It\u2019s important that you know which one you are. Just because your roommate can juggle basketball intramurals, being a D-group leader, and \u201co chem\u201d review sessions on an average Tuesday night and still be in bed by 10 doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it will work for you. And that\u2019s 100% okay! If you instead need to spend your evening completing algebra homework \u2014 with your trusty tutor Mr. Khan, of course \u2014 then by all means, do that. Learn what success looks like for you. Don\u2019t feel bad about what doesn\u2019t work for you; instead, capitalize on what does<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">On this same note, don\u2019t burn yourself out. If it turns out that putting on the hat of nursing major, employee, soccer player, social butterfly, and video game player proves too much for your plate, it\u2019s OK to reevaluate and make some sacrifices. Trying to complete homework when your mind isn\u2019t rested and balanced will actually slow you down as you think at a lower level than you\u2019re capable of. You\u2019ll end up spending more time on the tasks that you could\u2019ve easily knocked out, wasting precious time and energy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">James Clear, author of bestselling book \u201cAtomic Habits,\u201d notes that \u201cWhen you say no, you are only saying no to one option. When you say yes, you are saying no to every other option.\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">1<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Saying yes to too many activities that don\u2019t make sense to your academic and spiritual development means you are saying no to doing the things that matter. Saying yes to going out to eat the night before a big test means saying no to the couple hours of studying you may have needed, for example. Learn what you need as a student to be successful.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t wait for the perfect study environment to get something done.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If no one else has told you, let me be the one to break it to you: no one \u201cfeels like\u201d doing their work. Waiting until you have a real desire to do something means you will find yourself cramming it in at the last minute because your only motivation is to avoid receiving a 0. That one study room or your favorite table in the SSC might not be available when you want it, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s no longer a good time to clear that Canvas calendar. You really don\u2019t need your computer at 100% and your Zebra mildliners color-coded in order to begin the study process. Don\u2019t spend more time thinking about school than actually doing it<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This isn\u2019t to say you shouldn\u2019t create study conditions you enjoy \u2014 please do! If Post-its help you study, go buy your favorite colors. If you like writing in colored pens to take notes, invest in some. You\u2019ll be more motivated to study when you feel connected to the task. However, motivation is not everything; practicing discipline to get the work done even when your favorite purple glitter pen runs out of ink is what will ultimately help you succeed.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Go ahead and tell your friends you can make that late night Taco Bell run \u2014 you\u2019ve already turned in the assignment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Friday night.
