Deadlines. Coursework. Revision. Part-time jobs. Society events.
Student life is busy, so staying on top of it all can feel overwhelming. Whether you're just starting your academic journey or deep into your degree, managing your time effectively is one of the most important skills you can develop.
That's why we built the Task Scheduler.
What is it?
The Task Scheduler is a built-in digital planner designed specifically for students. It helps you organise your academic and personal tasks, set deadlines, and track your progress – all within the Skills for Study platform.
No extra apps. No distractions. Just a simple, effective way to stay on top of your goals.
How do I use it?
Look out for these 'Do it' boxes across the Skills for Study website. These are quick widgets that allow you to add items into your personal task scheduler!
In the description, be direct and specific with your goals. Instead of Study text, write Read chapter 3 of Groundhog Day and write notes.
Once you have a clear aim, you can add your deadline. If the task involves several stages, you can also set a start date. This allows you to break down the work into manageable parts and make steady progress, rather than leaving everything to the last minute.
See all of your tasks in the 'My tasks' hub in the website header.
Here you can prioritise which tasks you want to focus on. Tasks will turn red as soon as the deadline has passed, making it easy to spot anything overdue. You can also edit or delete tasks if your deadlines change.
Stay on track with your tasks by adding them to your day-to-day calendar. That way, nothing will be missed.

Why start now?
The start of a new academic year is the perfect time to set good habits. The way you organise your time in the first few weeks often sets the tone for the rest of the semester. By using the Task Scheduler from day one, you can:
Stay in control — avoid last-minute stress by spreading tasks out over time
Balance commitments — see your academic deadlines alongside part-time work, volunteering, and social events
Build consistency — checking your Task Scheduler regularly helps you develop routines that support both productivity and wellbeing
Reflect and improve — as you tick off completed tasks, you’ll be able to look back on what worked well and adjust your approach
Think of it as more than just a calendar — it’s your personal guide to managing the demands of university life with confidence.
