I find a lot of my coursework requires me to have knowledge that I’m unlikely to pick up until the end of the term, so starting right away doesn’t always help for me. However I really agree that starting as early as possible is a good thing, and I try to get as much planning as I can out of the way early on.

Thanks for your advice.

I found the best thing for my organization in college was to do everything as soon as I could, so nothing could take longer than expected and eat up time, and there was less risk of forgetting assignments and what-not.

Above all, remember to leave a little bit of time to keep in touch with your family.
You could incorporate a regular slot in your comprehensive plans to drop them an email or make a phone call so they know you’re doing OK.

I’ve tried using both a diary and my PDA/phone to keep track of my calendar and never really liked either – it was always too much hassle to add and change everts (for example for in a diary if I wanted my timetable to show up each week, I’d have to write it in every week), and difficult to keep them in sync with my computers. I did like being able to access them anywhere though, which is an area where web applications might also be useful.

I think the key is to experiment and find a system for staying organised which suits you, and to stick with it.

Never been able to use digital organisers, I’ve always had my ‘A5 WH Smith Black Book Diary’ but its a hassle having to copy the inside pages with everyones birthday over and the black pages with my super cool 2 pages of must know information. My phone was just too slow and too cumbersome to input. Kontact looks good, might give it ago until December at least, theres a new wireless phone that supposed to be *hot* just wish I remember what it was called, sure the advert will come on again so I can look it up again!
