2. Moment of truth... By a show of hands:
How many of you feel extremely organized thus far? Disorganized? Do you have your time management under control? Have you missed assignment deadlines or ed professors for extensions? How many of you feel as if you could’ve done more?
How many of you are willing to step it up and start doing more? Are you willing to accept responsibility? When you complete an assignment, are you pleased with the final product?

3. Planning Ahead Lay your clothes/supplies out the night before
Make check lists and double check due dates
Even if you don’t feel up to it, do whatever you have on your check list (you’ll thank yourself later)
Have realistic expectations of yourself
Don’t procrastinate on large assignments
Do them little by little each day!
Set aside time to do personal tasks and to enjoy life
Don’t cram multiple events or tests into one week if you have the choice not to!
