PROBLEM: F: I have been having a lot of trouble managing my time. I always forget my test and homework, due dates and I can never find the right notes I need. I heard that you're really organized. Do you think you could help me? ,M: Sure, I'd be happy to help. First of all, you need to get a planner, like this one. It's a small notebook in calendar where you can write down all the important dates you need to remember. Then you should create some sort of filing system to organize your notes. I use different colored files to keep the papers for my different classes.
