There are as many ways to stay organized as there are people. Some people prefer a paper planner, some use the calendar built into their phones, and some leave themselves a million sticky notes. We're not here to tell you what to do. It doesn't matter what you do or what tools you use, as long as it works for you.
However, part of what you're doing in college is learning to manage your time, stay organized, and network with people to find opportunities. Having a system that helps you organize your time, your work, and your priorities is a critical part of that, and is a critical life skill.
You're not required to use any of the tools we'll talk about in this tutorial, but we encourage you to experiment with different ways to keep yourself organized, be productive, and use your time wisely. If these tools don't work for you, use this as an opportunity to think about how you can refine and improve the systems that you use to stay organized on a daily basis.
