I started using iOS notes app during my first semester in college and since graduating college in engineering, I never missed an assignment and have turned a few in early.

Before, I wasted time using an Agenda to track assignments even when I didn't work for me, and I kept forgetting to check it.

So, I created a Running List comprised of two features: a Checklist & Reminders

Learn from my mistakes, and save yourself from missed assignments by following these 2 steps guaranteed to help you keep track of assignments:

Step #1: Gather all the Syllabi

Gather all the syllabi for your class & pay attention to the assignments and due dates.

Step #2: Get a checklist (electronic or paper)

I prefer the Notes app on iOS for a checklist because feature automatically moves the completed tasks to the bottom for you.

Step #3: List all assignments by due date

It's ok if the assignment due dates change or they're up in the air. Put them on the checklist so you have them.

Step #4: Set a reminder to check the checklist every day

Pick a time to check your checklist each day so you don't miss any assignment. Soon you'll build the habit of checking it every day and won't need the reminder.

Step #5: Enjoy the satisfaction of completing assignments

When you complete an assignment, make sure to check the box on your checklist.

Then set your sights on the next assignment.

Or take a break because you know you'll stay ahead of your assignments with this method.
