After three years of studying design, and a lot of trial and error, I’ve found a planning system that works for me. We often work on multiple projects at once. Getting the tasks out of my head helps prevent overwhelm. I use a physical journal for events but I find digital planning works better for uni.
Use iCloud notes as it syncs to phone and laptop
Use the checklist feature
Create a title for each week
Write in due dates in a different colour
List weekly tasks in order to reach deadlines. In brackets write which day you will do them with a set amount of time (this saves you from spending too much time on one task = extra stress)
The image below is not the perfect example (it’s not in order as it is a completed list). However, it should give you some idea of what I’m describing. We’re all different so it may take a bit of experimentation to find what works for you.
