And now, for something completely different...
If you have trouble with organizing your time, or remembering what you need to do, I would like to recommend two free online tools that you may find useful. I have no connection to either of them, other than using both happily for some time now.
The first is Google Calendar. Go to http://www.google.no/ or http://www.google.com/ and choose "Kalendar"/"Calendar". If you already have a Google account it should start you automatically. If you don't, you need to make an account, but that is quick and simple. You can set up one-time appointments for things like birthday parties, or repeating appointments for classes and sports practices. Google Calendar can email you or use a pop-up to remind you if you want it. Very flexible and very useful!
Google Calendar can also keep track of your to-do list, but I don't like the way it's set up. Instead I use TeuxDeux, which is nothing but a to-do list. (You need an email address, any email address, to set this up.) You type in what you need to do each day, and cross each item off as you finish. If you don't cross an item off, it will automatically carry over to the next day. So if you forget to do your math homework on Thursday, it will be waiting for you on Friday...
Both are, as I said, free, although if you want TeuxDeux on your iPhone you will have to buy the app. If you use two computers, like I do - one at school and one at home - you can have the same list on both computers. Genius!
Do you have any useful online tools you'd like to share?
