Dev Log 3 - Scheduling My Work

Devlog
A downloadable project

I think we've all struggled with time management. Crunching the night before something's due has been pretty common over the last few years in this course. Scheduling can help reduce the time spent crunching on tasks, and I think I've found a method to help myself out in that regard.

My go-to method for scheduling is using a task sidebar on my phone that lets me list and check off tasks. I've come up with a naming convention for these tasks, that goes Class: Assignment Name (Due-Date.) So, for example, one of the tasks in my list at the moment says Level Design: Assignment #2 (Oct 19)." This isn't an ideal system as it's just words in a list, and it doesn't have any visuals to distinguish between which classes given tasks are for, so I'm actively looking for an alternative. The reason I've stuck with this method for so long is the convenience: it's a widget on my phone that I can open up on top of other apps and view my reminders. 

If anyone commenting on this has any alternative apps that they use to manage their daily schedules, please share!
