By Topic

If you’re a jack of all trades, keep your classes straight by creating different lists for each topic or category you’re looking to learn.

By Due Date

If you’re the type of person who likes to block off time on your calendar, create to-do lists for everything, or has a productivity app within reach at all times, chances are this list strategy is going to work for you! Create lists for different weeks or months and add all the classes you want to complete within that timeline. You can even set a due date for each list to serve as an extra reminder.
