I'm in college and typically students have a lot of things happening all at one once. The only problem is being able to look at it in a manageable way that lets you understand what's coming ahead as opposed to a big cluster of things you need to do. A list called "School" that holds all of your homework and other related activities won't be well organized but my method will definitely help!

I have a list for each class that I'm in and then I also create a "School" Smart List. The way to do this is by searching for "list:'' OR list:''..." and then saving the search as "School". Then, if I want to see what's coming up this next week in my classes I can just search for "list: AND dueWithin:'5 days of monday'".

Any other type of look at classes just involves manipulating the dates in that search. Also - it helps having a smart list called "School" since it's an easier way to create other smart lists involving all your classes! Hope this helps out any other students out there :)
