Post-it® Brand – Make this year noteworthy.
A busy schedule seems to be a fact of life, no matter who you are. Between studying, extra-curriculars, and social events, it can be hard to keep track of everything. But with tools from Post-it® Brand and the determination to make your mark on the world, you can handle it all — and more.
- Create a home base for your schedule. The trick to making a busy schedule work is first gathering all supplies in one place. Use a planner as your central hub to jot down all your activities and appointments. Call out key times and dates with Post-it® Arrow Flags to find your most important commitments fast. When you need to add more details, use Post-it® Page Markers; they provide extra space when your planner pages are full, or you have lots of information (or if you’ve just got a lot to remember). With a little extra help from Post-it® Products, you can quickly see everything at a glance, so you can keep the bigger picture clear while still staying on top of the details.
- Color-code your commitments. If you love bright colors, you’re in luck. Since Post-it® Super Sticky Notes 1 7/8 in. x 1 7/8 in. come in lots of them, keep them on hand to plan your schedule. All you have to do is pick a color for extra-curriculars, one for school, and one for fun, (or whatever other categories you might need) use those colors of notes to write down all your commitments and stick them on your planner. Then you can see, at a glance, what’s going on every day, and where you need to focus your energy. Try it and you’ll see that color is a powerful tool to organize your life.
- Adjust as plans change. Unfortunately, your schedule is probably subject to change, sometimes at a moment’s notice. With Post-it® Super Sticky Notes 2 in. x 2 in. you can change your plans to match whatever life throws at you. All you have to do is remove each Post-it® Super Sticky Note from the planner page and re-stick them to a new page or place. Give it a shot — it offers flexibility you need to keep a clean and up-to-date planner. Plus, it keeps things looking neat and organized.
- Remind yourself to follow through. It’s best to give yourself reminders to achieve results, in addition to keeping your schedule organized. Grab Post-it® Super Sticky Notes, 3 in. x 3 in. and jot down reminders of commitment to place on walls and doors you frequently visit. Try writing your most important schedule items down the night before and then place them where they’re most likely to remind you of your commitments the next day. It might be on your laptop lid, your mirror, or the front door — whatever it takes. You can be sure your reminders will be waiting for you the next morning, and if you need to bring them along, go ahead — they’ll stick again. It may not be easy, but when you’re master of your schedule, you’ll feel like you’ve got the power to do anything. And every day you stay on top of it, you’ll know you’re one day closer to achieving your dreams. After all, your schedule exists for a reason. It’s part of who you are, and it’s how you make your mark on the world.
