The first critical step in any military maneuver is knowing your enemy. You can't hope to have the advantage until you know exactly what you're dealing with.
THAT'S WHAT A PLANNER IS FOR!
But often you get one and have no instruction as to how to use it. So you carry it around for a while until it falls apart and then you chuck it.
Explicit steps:
1. List all assignments and tests, along with any other information that may affect your schedule.
2. Check off each assignment as you complete it (yes, even if you finish it that day in class).
3. Cross of each assignment as you hand it in (ditto above). Acknolwedge that sense of power that surges through you as you cross an item off. That's one of the great reasons for using a planner. That's why you list even the small assignments and go through the process.
LET IT EMPOWER YOU!!!
