Throughout this semester I've gone through a number of time management strategies, task management strategies, procrastination strategies, stress strategies, and so many more, but of all of the strategies, I've got to to say that D's Dos and Dues did the best for me. Task and time management and procrastination all come together to be what I struggle most with. At the start of every month and week, laying down all of my assignments along with the due dates and when I will work on them really forces me to get my work done. It forces me not in a brutal or painstaking way, but it simplifies my workload to the point where I really wanna get to work and the thoughts of how long and time and energy consuming may be are no longer there.
D's Dos and Dues are is real simple because to get it done all you have to do is break out your syllabi at the start of the month and put all of the DUE dates of your major assignments on the monthly calendar and at the end of each week go to the weekly portion of your planner and on one side write down what's DUE for the week and on the other side write down what days of the week you will DO each assignment in the due column. From there just follow the schedule the best you can and if necessary, if you get a bit off schedule, just adjust your DO dates. It's very simple and ever since it was presented in CLS lecture I've been using it nearly every week, in every one of my courses along with other outside tasks, and it's benefited me every time that I've used it keeping me on task and getting all of my assignments done thoroughly.
A whole bunch of strategies have been presented in CLS and I wouldn't say that any of them are necessarily bad but different strategies work for different people, classes, and assignments but I can say that D's Dos and Dues takes the cake for me in every category whether it be the type of course, assignment, teacher, my dedication or lack thereof. I'm definitely taking this with me wherever I go beyond CLS, this one goes down in the books.
