How do you keep track of work so that it gets done on time?

Time management and prioritization are incredibly important in the workplace. In many roles, colleagues and/or students may be counting on you to get your work done and be prepared for the day. It is important to have established systems to keep organized and ensure work gets done on time and to the best of your ability. Share the systems that have served you well in the past.

I keep myself organized and prepared by scheduling all of my tasks into an agenda. At the beginning of every week, I go over my to-do list and block off time for each item. This keeps me accountable for doing everything on my list. My students are counting on me to keep my priorities straight and be prepared for them, so time management is a big priority of mine, and I invest a lot of energy into perfecting my strategies.
