Staying Organised This January as a Student

As a new term begins and the festive sparkle fades, it’s easy to feel a touch of apprehension about juggling deadlines and routines. The good news? Staying organised this January needn’t be a challenge. Whether you’re settling back into life in your Exeter university accommodation or enjoying returning to your student accommodation in Leicester, a few small tweaks can help you glide through the season with confidence.

1. Colour-Coding for Clarity

There’s something immensely satisfying about seeing all your tasks neatly laid out. A simple calendar app, with each lecture, study session, and part-time shift assigned a distinct colour, can transform your schedule. One quick glance will show which days are full-on and which hold space for a well-earned break. 

*We recommend Google Calendars or the My Duty calendar app.

2. Balance Digital and Paper Tools

While digital reminders keep us punctual with up to date reminders, a physical planner can bring tasks to life. Writing things down by hand helps to commit them to memory, and a splash of colour or a few stickers add a personal touch. Why not test out combining both methods? Perhaps digital for deadlines and paper for daily goals.

3. Remember to Recharge

Productivity thrives when paired with well-timed breaks. A short walk, a cup of tea, or a chat with your uni housemates can do wonders for morale. By weaving in rest, you can stay refreshed and ready to tackle whatever’s next, without burning out before February even arrives.

4. Turn Big Assignments into Bite-Sized Wins

Long essays and complex projects feel more approachable when broken into smaller targets—research notes today, a draft paragraph tomorrow. Each mini-accomplishment can add up to something substantial, and we guarantee that the process feels far less daunting.

5. Embrace the Advantages of Purpose-Built Spaces

Accommodation designed with students in mind can make a world of difference. Project Student properties, known for their convenience and community feel, put everything at your fingertips. Whether benefiting from Project Students Exeter university accommodation or if you are settled comfortably into student accommodation in Leicester, having shops, study areas, and social spaces nearby saves time and stress. Living in the right environment can support your organisational efforts.

Stepping into the New Term with Confidence

By adding colour to calendars, mixing planning tools, allowing yourself to take real breaks, and chipping away at projects in bite-sized pieces, January can feel less like a mountain and more like a gentle hill. With the convenience of Project Student accommodation and a balanced approach guiding, you can start this term calm, collected, and ready for whatever comes your way.
