A busy schedule seems to be a fact of life, no matter who you are. Between studying, extra-curriculars, and social events, it’s hard to keep track of everything that’s going on. But with tools from Post-it® Brand and the determination to make your mark on the world, you can handle it all — and more.

1. Create a home base for your schedule
The trick to making a busy schedule work is to put it all in one place first. To do it, get yourself a planner and make it the spot where you write down everything that’s going on. Call out key times and dates with Post-it® Arrow Flags so you can find your most important commitments fast. Then, add notes about key details with Post-it® Page Markers, which will give you plenty of room to write when you’ve run out of room on your planner page (or if you’ve just got a lot to remember). With a little extra help from Post-it® Products, your planner will help you see everything at a glance, so you can keep the bigger picture clear while still staying on top of the details.

All you have to do is pick a colour for extra-curriculars, one for school, and one for fun, (or whatever other categories you might need) use those colours of notes to write down all your commitments and stick them on your planner. Then you can see, at a glance, what’s going on every day, and where you need to focus your energy. Try it and you’ll see that colour is a powerful tool to organise your life.

4. Remind yourself to follow through
Keeping your schedule organised and accurate doesn’t help if you don’t actually follow it. That’s why you should remind yourself to keep up with your commitments by leaving notes on Post-it® Super Sticky Notes 76mm x 76mm in key places you’ll be sure to see. Try writing your most important schedule items on Post-it® Super Sticky Notes the night before and then sticking them where they’re most likely to remind you of your commitments the next day. It might be on your laptop lid, your mirror, or the front door — whatever it takes. You can be sure your reminders will be waiting for you the next morning, and if you need to bring them along, go ahead — they’ll stick again.
It may not be easy, but when you’re master of your schedule, you’ll feel like you’ve got the power to do anything. And every day you stay on top of it, you’ll know you’re one day closer to achieve your dreams. After all, your schedule exists for a reason. It’s part of who you are, and it’s how you make your mark on the world.
