Planning Ahead

Remember that agenda you used to receive at the beginning of the year to write down any important dates? Yes, the one you would leave in your locker at the end of the first day and never touch it until the end of the year. That agenda, little do you know actually works wonders. Part of procrastinating is being unorganized and not knowing what to do or what to start. Writing down something helps you remember more of the material than you actually think. When faced with multiple tasks on hand it helps to write down the task as soon as it is given out. If you retain this habit you will be well organized and know how to manage your time wisely on each work load. Being able to list things down makes it easier to see visually what needs to be done first.
