To Do a To-Do Making a daily To-Do List is an excellent homework routine for enhancing your college readiness. It takes only about a minute to make, but can have a big impact on your success as a student. A To-Do List (also called a task list ) helps you focus on homework goals and assures that you complete all of your assignments and other obligations every day. A To-Do List also gives your busy brain a break, because once you write an item on your list, Brainy can relax and stop worrying about remembering it!

Remember – your to-do list needs to work for you and nobody else. If you feel the need to get personal with a design, customize a to-do list to meet your needs. As a student, consider a design that will enhance your academic performance, such as period or class prompts. (“1st period homework”, “2nd period homework”... etc., or subject prompts like “science homework”, “language arts homework”… or any other prompt that works for you.) Include a prompt for non-assignment/related tasks, like bringing a form to the attendance office or returning a library book. Personalize your design with graphics, photos of friends, your team’s logo, a holiday motif, whatever works! Bring your to-do list to class to share with other students. Stock your workspace with a 30-day supply. Make your to-do list a daily study habit . App Master. To Do List apps are plentiful and have a variety of features.
