  1. I do not have a system to decide what to do each day, which is a bad idea because I need to have a system to get well organized since I lack in this quality. I usually write it down under notes or calendar on my phone to remind me what I need to or what I need to get done for missing work. So far I am getting in the habit of checking what is due and it works.
  1. The monthly calendar and the project folder out of the five self-management tools will help me get organized because it will be helpful to get organized in every aspect of my college career with my classes and other important events.
