Introduction to the Planner How to find the monthly section of the planner Can either be right before the weekly section or at the beginning of the planner How to find the weekly section of the planner Can either be right after the monthly section of the planner or in the middle of the planner. Marking off the current month and week in the planner Use a flag from your sticky notes to mark off both the month and the week of the planner, using two different colors.
Putting Picked-Out Dates in the Planner Putting in the dates in the monthly section Put your picked out dates in the monthly section of the planner Putting in the dates in the weekly section Put your picked out dates in the weekly section of the planner
How to Incorporate Study Times Into Your Schedule Fill out on weeks worth of weekly planner with all appointments Look for blank spots (usually at minimum a half-hour long) to study Fill in those sections with studying times. Once you find a recurring pattern in your schedule for studying, mark that spot off early so you can get some guaranteed studying time in!
Using Different Systems for Quick Time Idenfitication There are two major methods for quickly reading your planner: The Highlighter System The Flag Note System
Using the Flag Sticky Notes System Using a color coded system to flag important dates Color #1 = medical appointments Color #2 = exams Color #3 = tutoring appointment Color #4 = student choice Flags go under weekly section of the planner and stick out slightly from the planner s edge. This allows you to quickly see what you have going on that week. Old flags are removed every week and new ones placed each week
Using the Highlighter System Using the Highlighter System Use a color coded system to mark out your planner for easy and quick reading Examples: Yellow = bills due Pink = exam Green = studying This will allow you to quickly and easily look at your weekly planner and go Oh! I have time to study on Thursday from 2PM to 3PM! Better bring my books in from my car Wednesday night so I can be ready to go!
