Time Management Strategies Record known class assignments including quizzes, tests, projects and papers Recording your class assignments from the beginning of the semester creates a framework for your semester. It lets you know when you are likely to have high academic demands and when you will have more flexibility for scheduling pleasurable activities. Record co-curricular activities including work hours, meetings, social commitments and out-of-town weekends Recording co-curricular activities allows you to have a more accurate picture of how full or open your schedule will be throughout the semester. These activities are important for providing balance in your schedule.
