My First tip

Get organised!!
If you a student of any level you probably have assignments,homework and other things coming out of your ears my tips for you is to plan."Failure to plan is planning to fail" as they say. So follow these steps...

  1. Get a calendar. This may seem like a silly thing but if you have one you can put all your key dates on coursework due in e.c.t . Also don't be a bore use this to plan all your social arrangements to this will show off your organisational skills.
  2. Get a homework diary/planner keep all your key information in this and it will enable you to make sure you have all key things done.
  3. Prioritise order things in importance obviously everything has to be done but if you do lose track of time do your coursework before your homework, and your homework before partying.
  4. Revision timetables get some A3 paper from your school,college or university and draw up a hour by hour time table. Obviously write in your lessons and other commitments and be sure not to revise too late otherwise that can be counter productive.
  5. Use tech: I am a huge fan of technology today and don't be afraid to use it to your advantage (instead of playing angry birds) Great apps like Evernote and Remember The Milk are a must these simple yet useful apps will enable you to succeed. Also there are many timetable apps on the app store so if you think you may lose/forget your time table this can get you out of any sticky situations.
