Learning by H.E.A.R.T Time management

One thing about this class that I need to fix is my time management. I need to not wait until Sunday night to finish all my assignments for this class because I have a lot of other work to do on Sundays. For example, I had to study for a test last night and wasn't able to finish one of my assignments because of it.
