What are the specific tasks I need to get done? You have a lot to get done in many classes, but it’s spread out across multiple syllabi. No more! You’re going to get all your tasks organized in one place.
How long is each task going to take? You can’t plan without knowing how long each task is going to take. You’ll know how long each reading will take (to the minute) and you will be able to estimate the time you’ll need for tests and assignments. We’ll show you how.
Do I have time to get every task done? Students have to juggle a continuously changing and complicated mix of readings, papers, projects, and exams. Some take minutes, others take hours, and some may take weeks. Knowing when to start is critical to having a good study plan.
