D's Due and Do Organizer & Ranking Priorities Combo!

Hello all! Happy Halloweekend..


Remember the D's Due and Do Organizer? How about Ranking Priorities? These two strategies I have found to be the most useful for me over the course of the semester that I actually began combining them into one! It's been totally effective for me as it keeps me on track with what I need to do and to see what is actually due, all the while I can rank what needsto be done first.

Again, I use my iCalendar to use this powerful strategy combo. First, I fill out what needs to be done on each day of the week. Then I fill in when certain assignments are actually due. This part is almost exactly identical the D's Due and Do Organizer.

Next, I take each do and rank each in terms of top priority, middle priority, or optional; this part is similar to the ranking priorities strategy. You can get these by adding a new calendar on iCalendar:


I then changed the color of each DO. Top priority is red, middle is light blue and optional is green. My DUE's remain the color yellow:


I'm a visual learner so having the colors to highlight what needs to be done at which priority is extremely helpful. In the end I feel so much more organized than if I had just thrown a bunch of to-do's on my calendar. This is my past week on my iCalendar:
