Prioritize impact and urgency
An assignment worth 25% of a course deserves different attention from a low-point exercise. Track points/weight beside deadline.
Use progress honestly
Progress should reflect completed deliverables, not time spent thinking about the assignment.
Flag deadline risk early
Near-due high-value work with low progress deserves immediate attention. The dashboard highlights those combinations.
Archive completed work
Keeping completed items gives you a useful workload history for future semesters.
