Use a day planner or digital calendar.[1] These will help you more precisely organize your time and keep up with your appointments. Enter appointments into your calendar as you make them. Then plan the rest of your days around those obligations. Try to plan your days the night before or first thing in the morning, before your day starts. Don’t start your day until you’ve planned it.
If you have packed schedule, plan your day down to the hour. You can even allot time to tasks like breakfast and exercise, ensuring you get the most out of every day.[2]
Refer to your daily plan throughout the day to keep yourself on track.[3]
If you go digital, give Google Calendar a try. You can sync it with your mobile phone or tablet so that you can check your schedule at any time, even when you’re on the go.
