Lets Plan: Back to School Planner

This school year has been my first time back to school in 2 years and I have found having a planner is making it A LOT easier to keep track of everything! So I want to show you all how I set my planner up for school. (keep in mind I am only taking one class right now but you could totally use this for multiple classes!)

I am taking my class online this semester so all the information I need for my class from due dates to the assignments I have are posted right away; which makes setting up my planner a lot easier.

The first thing I do when my class starts is to print off my syllabus and highlight all the due dates, even though everything is online its just nice to have a paper copy.( I did not put in a photo of my syllabus because it has to much personal information on it that I can not cover all up) Once everything is highlighted or underlined I reach for my planner.

I don't put all the due dates in my planner for the whole semester, otherwise it gets a little overwhelming seeing everything that has to be done, so I like to do this next part at the start of each week. But totally do this step in a way that will work with your classes due dates.

My lesson plans switch over on Thursdays so either every Thursday or usually on Sunday I will sit down with my syllabus and planner and write in the weekly/daily when things are due.

I use stickers that I made on my computer to help mark when things are due, I also like to use color pens for when I put stuff down in the monthly view. I use sticky notes to write down when things are due just because I find having it written down in multiple spots helps me to remember.

Happy Planning!
