Do you have a calendar? Do you like writing things down in a specific place so that you won’t forget them? Or do you have lots of post-it notes flying around in your apartment and loose paper with important information?
You might have heard it a thousand times, but keeping a calendar when you have trouble remembering appointments or deadlines can really be a lifesaver.
A calendar can function as your best friend and accountability buddy.
A calendar tells you about deadlines, exams, homework assignments, meetings with friends and doctor’s appointments. It structures your week and helps you organize your day.
The moment you know when a deadline is coming up you can work proactively toward that deadline.
A calendar can make you feel calm and in control since it takes the guessing out of your life. You know what is expected from you.
A calendar is your roadmap – no matter whether it is on paper or in digital form. You can use an app or a notebook – as long as you note down all important dates, you are good.
At first, it might sound tedious to note down everything in your life, but over time you might come to love it. We all need accountability buddies, and a calendar is a cheap and easy way to stay on track.
But how exactly would be a productive way to use a calendar, scheduler or planner? How do you make sure that everything is actually recorded and that you won’t forget important events or, even more significant, tests, exams or research papers?
