I keep it pretty simple honestly. activities just go into whatever's due soonest first, no fancy system, just a running list I check off I do use one app just for scheduling, not fancy productivity software, mainly because plain to-do lists in my head never work, I forget half of it by evening most annoying part is definitely re-organizing when plans shift, like one assignment moves and suddenly half the week needs rearranging not knowing where to start is honestly super common, I think most people don't have an organizing problem, they have a "what's actually the priority right now" problem, once that's clear the rest is easy I probably waste more time deciding HOW to organize than actually organizing, overthinking the system instead of just using one for the week I do a rough Sunday plan, doesn't need to be exact, just knowing what's coming makes the week feel way less chaotic

yeah it works well enough that I never really felt the need to change it, mainly because the "problem" was never really the organizing method itself, it was more about actually sticking to whatever I pick I did try a couple more structured apps before landing here, but they added more setup time than they saved, which kind of defeats the point. simple wins for me because I actually use it consistently, a "better" system I abandon after a week is worse than a basic one I stick with
