Keeping up with the Uni Life!!

Having to handle all the social activities along with work in the uni lifestyle and can be seriously stressful!!

The amount of time and effort required for each section must nearly be "equal" to one another.

There are many ways we can fight these common problems by keeping ourselves organised at all times. 

3 Simple Steps to keep Organised: 

Get updated real time by using technology!!!

1. Use a digital diary planner or calender application - write down all the important assessment dates, social events and the days needed to work. Nowadays, our apple & android phones allow social networks such as Facebook to access and update our calender app at real time!
2. Use note applications like Evernote or reminder a to-do list app - like a shopping list, list all the important tasks that are to be completed. Once completed ticked them off!
3. Keep files saved and updated at real time - with use of clouding networking software such as dropbox, skydrive or google drive. It enables users to access and update from any computer, phone or tablet.
