Color Coordinated Schedule

Ever since Junior year I been keeping a little note book schedule with me for all my school work. Usually this little schedules where pretty tiny and the could easily be hold with one hand (I believe it was 4 1/2" by 3" big). I used this size of schedules for my high school years. Now in college I use a regular size note book schedule. Since it's college I don't want to run out of space when I'm writing down my assignments. The way that I plan my schedule is by having a color coordinator system. In total I use eight colors that guide me through my to do list. The first color is red and this color symbolizes my most urgent assignments that will be due by the next day or the next next day. I usually use this color in a daily basis since little assignments are always coming up. The second color, orange signifies assignments that will be due in three to four days. When I write some assignments on orange it honestly doesn't feel as urgent as it would with red. It gives me a sense of relief because it isn't that urgent. The color green means that I have five to seven day to finish that assignment. Things on green I don't usually worry that much since I have time, but when I'm done with my urgent assignments I try to get started on this assignments. Sky blue tells me that I a week and up to accomplish that assignment. Assignments on sky blue don't bother me at all until they turn green. The color blue symbolizes that I have assignments/meetings before school starts. Purple does the same thing as blue does but on the afternoon, so after school. Pink is a free color because it reminds me of activities, exams, and personal things that will come up. And finally, black is the color that I use to cross out whats been already accomplished. With this system I'm able to adapt to all my class work and be able to successfully finish with all my homework. To be honest I recommend anyone that has a hard time at school to follow this system on their schedule. I hope this has helped you. Have a nice day/night.
