How to get started

1. Define the task

Write what you are preparing for, such as admission, a job or an appointment.

Use the organisation’s current list as your main source.

3. Add each item separately

Include forms, documents, fees and deadlines only when required.

4. Track progress

Mark items complete after checking them.

5. Review before submission

Check the latest instructions and keep copies or receipts where appropriate.
