TL;DR
Adjust your own workload estimate to reflect the effort a task requires for you.
Before you begin
Open a task in your student planner. Your personal estimate does not change the teacher's original instructions.
Key points
Choose the workload level that fits the task, from a reminder to a larger assessment.
Use reminders for date-based prompts; check how they disappear from upcoming work after their date.
Give substantial work enough planning time instead of relying on the icon alone.
Review your workload as work progresses and adjust your next sessions.
