D's Due and Do
I am blogging about the topic “D’s Due and Do.” I have used this in all of my classes as well as to remind myself what I need to do daily even when it isn’t regarding my classes. I used this strategy in CLS, MAT 222, REL 120, CFS 388 and PHI 107. I already used this method to some extent before this class, but now I just added the words “due” and “do,” but it was already very similar. I found that by adding these words it became easier to understand my schedule and what I should plan on doing when. I prefer not to split my schedule with a line, I simply prefer to write them out plainly on the date, because I will read them all anyways and I find it easier to read. I also put all of the major due dates into my monthly calendar at the beginning of my schedule in to be sure that I do not miss any assignments.
Above there is a picture of my weekly schedule.
This strategy has not failed me yet. I find it very useful and I honestly intend to continue using it throughout my college experience. I have always been very organized and used my schedule already, so this small step should not be a hassle and should be more helpful than the method I was using before. I chose this strategy because I basically already used it, I just made a couple little tweaks to the way I wrote things down.
It is very important to be organized; “D’s due and do” is a very easy method and takes only a few minutes to set up. It can save me from forgetting little things I may previously have forgotten. This is my favorite method so far, I know it isn’t a method for actually doing the work, but if I don’t know I need to do an assignment, those other methods will never come into effect. I would recommend that everyone give this method a try! I am sure it will continue to be useful from that point on.

I've tried this on a weekly schedule and now I see that it works even better on a monthly schedule. It's great that it can work so well with your syllabus too.
ReplyDeleteI am like you because I used this method before but just not with the words. I agree that it is easier to look at it without the lines just by putting the date. I think this method can help everyone out so they can better organize when things are due and when they need to work on them. I also agree with the fact that the monthly view is very helpful to view harder weeks.
