I had plenty of extra time last weekend, so I went ahead and handled as much homework for this week as I could. This turned out to be a great idea, since I have quite a lot of assignments that have an item due each week, and it would be easy to get overloaded if everything piled up for the day before. Particularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there isn't a ton of time between classes, so work done on those days mostly has to be done in the evening when I'm tired, and that's suboptimal. Handling all assignments as early as possible is definitely the way to go.
So far, my strategy of using a Notepad text file to keep all assignments is working. I have a big "recurring" section with the weekly routine; individual assignments are in sections grouped by date due. I delete non-recurring work items when I complete them, but I haven't yet figured out a quickly-readable way to record when I last handled a recurring task (other than double-checking that it's submitted).
