Waiting last minute to do assignments, not only increases the chances of receiving a low score for that assignment. It also causes your stress levels to be incredibly high. Whenever I receive instructions for a new project or homework assignment, I always say I'm going to plan my time wisely and responsibly. It almost never works. I always start each year of high school using a planner, but it only lasts about a month. I used to always think using planners was a waste of time; however I started forcing myself to use a planner everyday. I find that instead of it being a waste of my time, my planner helps me save a lot of time. Especially, when it comes to projects. I stopped waiting last minute to do many of my assignments. Another thing that helped me become more organized is the Calendar feature connected to my google account. The calendar helps me keep track of due dates for my assignments. It's a useful feature for many of my classes including, English.
