From the Paper:

"Budgeting time wisely every night is an important part of maturity. But you must also budget your time over the semester. Don't try to have too many extracurricular activities scheduled, until you are sure you can handle the work level of your course load. Have a semester-long planner and don't just focus on assignments from a day-to-day basis. Know when long, large projects are due, and if these projects conflict. Know how to prioritize certain projects, when feeling overwhelmed. Assigning the tasks you need to complete each day a letter value can be helpful--is the task "A" (very important) "B" (somewhat important) or "C" (can be put off until a less busy day)?"
