Tip
Use a Planner. Contrary to popular belief, a planner is not constricting and will probably leave you feeling more organized and self-assured. After planning becomes a habit, you won't miss commitments and you will find yourself with more time than before. Click below for more tips from the Sagan Academic Resource Center.
