I'm making the first two chapters of my book on time management for students (entitled: Make Lists Not Fists - A Student Survival Guide to Stress-Free Productivity) available for free as a digital download. You can download and/or read them here.
The content of these chapters covers the basics - what I feel everyone should be doing to get organised. It's what I talk to my students about when they come in complaining of missing deadlines, or struggling to start on time with bigger projects. For most people, just putting the advice from these two chapters into practice will make all the difference. If you're really motivated to become better at time management, you could choose to read the rest of the book too, which will teach you how to set up a to-do list system so solid that nothing small will ever slip through the net anymore. Most students I advise, however, read chapters 1 and 2, apply what they learned, and find that that covers their basic needs. So start with those. If you want to go deeper (and I think you'll enjoy doing so): the whole book is available on Amazon.
If you feel that you're already pretty organised - I still think that you'll get some tips that you can use from these chapters, especially chapter two. The rest of the book is also warmly recommended, of course - it describes how I myself work, and what I do to stay sane, and keep my stress levels at a manageable level.
