Printable Assignment Tracker: Stay on Top of Every Deadline
Staying on top of assignments can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling multiple classes, extracurriculars, and personal commitments. With so many due dates and responsibilities, it's easy to lose track and miss deadlines. That's why having a reliable system to manage your tasks is essential.
An assignment tracker can be a game-changer for students who want to stay organized and reduce last-minute stress.
Using an assignment tracker helps you keep all your tasks in one place, making it easier to visualize what needs to be done and when.
It allows you to prioritize your workload, plan your study sessions effectively, and avoid the chaos of forgotten deadlines. Whether you're a high school student, a college student, or even balancing work and education, this tool can make a significant difference in your academic success.
Why You Need an Assignment Tracker
An assignment tracker is more than just a to-do list. It provides a structured way to manage your academic responsibilities, and once you start using one, you'll quickly see the benefits.
For starters, it keeps everything in one place. No more flipping through notebooks or scrolling through emails to find deadlines—your assignments, due dates, and even grades are all organized and easy to access.
This level of organization makes a huge difference when you're managing multiple classes.
It also helps you manage your time more effectively. When you track your deadlines, you can plan your study sessions in advance and avoid the stress of last-minute cramming.
Knowing exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it, gives you a sense of control over your workload.
Another big perk? Reduced stress.
When your academic tasks are laid out clearly, it feels easier to handle. You'll spend less time worrying about what you might be forgetting and more time focusing on getting things done.
Plus, tracking your progress allows you to see how you're performing in each class and identify any areas where you might need to improve.
How to Use Your Assignment Tracker
Getting started with your assignment tracker is easy, and a few simple habits will keep you on track.
First, write down every assignment as soon as you receive it. Include all the important details—class name, assignment title, and due date. This ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
Consistency is key, so make it a habit to update your tracker regularly. Whether you check in weekly or whenever new tasks are assigned, keeping your tracker current helps you stay on top of changing deadlines.
It also helps to prioritize your tasks. Highlight urgent assignments or those with approaching deadlines. If you want to get fancy, try color-coding to differentiate between subjects or assignment types.
Finally, review your tracker weekly. Taking a few minutes to look over your assignments helps you plan your schedule and manage your workload more effectively. It also gives you a chance to catch any upcoming deadlines before they sneak up on you.
Tips for Maximizing Productivity
A few small tweaks to your workflow can make your assignment tracker even more powerful.
Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Big assignments feel less overwhelming when you tackle them bit by bit.
For example, instead of writing "Research Paper" in your tracker, break it into stages like
Gather Sources
Write Outline
Draft Introduction."
Set reminders on your phone or digital calendar for important deadlines. This adds an extra layer of accountability and ensures you never miss a due date.
And don't forget to reward yourself!
Celebrate small wins—like finishing a tough project or staying consistent with your tracker. These little rewards keep you motivated and make your academic journey more enjoyable.
Free Assignment Tracker Printables
To help you get started, I'm sharing two free assignment tracker printables. These printables are designed to make it easy for you to stay on top of your deadlines and keep your academic life organized.
The first is the Assignment Tracker Sheet. This gives you a broad overview of all your assignments. You can list the class, the specific assignment, due date, and even record the grade you receive. There's also a checkbox to mark tasks as complete—a small but satisfying way to track your progress.
The second is the Assignment Info Sheet. This one dives a little deeper. It's perfect for recording detailed information about each assignment.
There's space to jot down the class, assignment description, due date, and any extra notes. The blank section is great for brainstorming ideas or outlining your work.
These printables are simple but effective. You can print as many copies as you need and keep them in your planner, binder, or study space. Having these sheets at your fingertips makes it easier to stay organized all year long.

I've recently decided to open a GoImagine shop, giving you another way to shop for all your favorite planners!
While my Etsy shop is still open, I wanted to explore a new platform as Etsy has been going through some changes lately. GoImagine is a fantastic marketplace that supports handmade businesses, and I'm excited to be a part of it.
Right now, my GoImagine shop is brand new, so I only have a few listings available. However, I'll be adding more items over time until everything is available in both shops.
No matter which platform you choose, you'll find the same high-quality products—just with more flexibility to shop in the way that works best for you.
Thank you for your continued support, and I can’t wait to see you in both places! 😊
SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
BINDING
When it comes to customizing your planner, the ARC binding system or other similar binders offer incredible flexibility and convenience.
With these systems, you can easily add, remove, or rearrange pages according to your changing needs, ensuring that your planner stays perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. Plus, you can unleash your creativity and design personalized covers or dividers, making it truly your own.
You can read more about Why I Love the ARC Binding System in this post.
Alternatively, if you prefer a professional touch, you can take your planner to a local printer like Staples, and they will expertly bind it for you.
