This will help you save much of your time and you will finish your work within the allotted time.

Along with your weekly planner you can also have a separate planner for your whole week. In this planner you can write your weekly goals in more details so that you don’t miss out on anything. You can place this calendar just beside your monthly planner so that you can have a look on both of them.
- Check yourself every day:
This is a kind of checklist that works better than both kinds of planners. Through this checklist you can check your progress at the end of the day and also decide work for your next day. This great idea as you can write down the task for each day and also allot specific time to each assignment so that you complete it effectively.
- Take out time for other activities:

Sitting with your assignments and homework will make you bore and you will start losing your concentration. So a balance of everything is very necessary in your life.
