<p>Procrastination is a tough habit to overcome but there are lots of electronic tools to get on track. The use of a todo list with dates due, electronic calendars so that homework, project and lab times can be blocked out, etc. Professors often provide due dates for projects and assignments on the syllabus far out into the semester and it is frequently a good idea to plan or maybe start work that isn’t due for a long time.</p>
<p>Many classes have material that builds upon previous material and getting too far behind can make it very hard to catch up. Sometimes a tutoring center can provide help if catchup is needed.</p>
<p>I’d be more inclined to expect some kind of action plan with goals and checklists to ensure that action items are cleared off. Basically a business or project-oriented approach.</p>
<p>Now where is that UCB board?</p>
