4. USE PRIORITIES TO PLAN When planning your life, just as in planning a business model, or planning an event, you need to distinguish goals and set priorities. Once these priorities are set you base your plan around the priorities. Each priority needs its own objectives. For Priority #1, plan times to study when it is most conducive to your needs. Everyone has times during the day when they are most effective at understanding things, utilize that time for studying and going to class.

5. USE PRIORITIES TO PLAN PLAN YOUR FUN As much as it sounds ridiculous, it is much easier, more enjoyable, and safer, for an individual to plan their downtime. When you plan a social event, or a party mixer, you can discuss the problems that could occur, plan a way to prevent them, and still have an interesting them or event that you can invite people to and enjoy themselves.
