organizational skills, yo

Alright, i have just started my university career. Im looking for a bit of guidance in terms of how to stay organized. Its a totally different environment than what I was used to at high school. Mid terms are in 7 weeks, finals in 12. 40 and 50% finals are the norm. So it is pretty crucial that I get on top of everything in a timely fashion. Working smarter, not harder; is what I have always been good at. However, I have been barraged with information during my first week.

So, anyone have helpfull, insightfull tips? Things you wish you knew when you started?

Right now my plan is to keep all 6 courses work seperated in six different storage compartments. As for a bigger picture, this weekend (have class M-F), I want to write out or generate some sort of timeline with critical dates that I do not want to miss, or be unprepared for.

Get a good daytimer/organizer and get in the habit of scheduling your time, writing down deadlines, planning projects, etc. Then use it to keep the beer rings off the coffee table.

This explains pretty much everything you need to know.

On a more serious note, just be smart about how you use your time. If you have shit that you need to do, do it. Don't fall behind. Make a list of important dates and get into the habit of checking it daily so you're not surprised one day saying to yourself, "Fuck, I've got a test today?" when you show up to class.

Use every ounce of your spare time to do what sauce123 said. You will not regret it.
