D's Do and Due Organizer

Since classes have begun, I've felt the pressure and stress I've been hearing about for a while now. So I was more than happy to experiment for a week with the D's Do and Due Organzier. Task management has not been as big of an issue for me as actually just having the free time. As an art major, I have a couple of 4 hour long classes, making my schedule extremely difficult to create with reason. My week is packed with classes leaving me with evenings and weekends to have time to complete assignments and projects.
While doing the D's Do and Due, I found the Due side of the page extremely helpful in writing down when each assignment would be due for the next class. Almost none of my syllabi have the dates of when projects or assignments are to be handed in so I did have to write in this side as the week progressed.
However, the Do side of my calendar did not end up to be as successful. I found it very difficult to keep up with and because projects can go on for a while, the two sides could not match up accordingly. Overall, this was one of the more helpful methods and I will continue to use this organizer primarily for the Due side.

  1. This was also a great post. It might not be the best strategy to choose if you do not have the work included in the syllabi. I should use this more often because most of my classes have the assignments in the syllabi.
