Complete College Calendar
What if you knew exactly how to help your teen apply to college?
With Complete College Calendar, there’s no need to worry about missing application or financial aid deadlines.
Your family will have access to easy checklists for every semester of high school (including summer) so you know exactly what your teen needs to do, and when they need to do it.
Tell me if this sounds like you:
- You know that your teen will need to apply for college, but the process is confusing and stressful.
- You worry that you might miss an important financial aid deadline, compromising your family’s ability to pay for your teen’s education.
- You know there is a lot of “stuff” your teen needs to do for college, but it’s stressful to keep track of it all.
- You don’t want your teen to be surprised by last-minute due dates for financial aid or applications. You’re not interested in experiencing last-minute stress in your home.
- Your teen’s high school has shared some information, but it seems incomplete or you still have questions.
- Not knowing exactly what your next steps are to help your teen apply to college is stressing you out.
- Your family has no system for important financial aid deadlines.
- You just want someone to tell you what needs to get done for your teen’s applications, and when you need to do it.
- You would love to feel confident that you understand how to help your teen apply (test scores, financial aid, applications, state vs. federal deadlines).

Complete College Calendar is a digital product that teaches your family exactly what you need to do for college so that you don’t miss any important financial aid or application deadlines.
What you’ll receive:
- 8 College Prep Checklists (one for each semester of high school, plus summers). The checklists start the summer before freshman year and end after your teen is admitted senior year.

As a parent, it’s stressful to face your teen’s college applications.
Right now, you might be feeling stressed about whether your teen will get into college and how to pay for it. Applications are complicated, and even though you’ve read about it, there’s just too much information.
You know there are a lot of deadlines, but no one has really explained when this process starts and ends, and what you’re supposed to do first. You may also be worried that you’ll forget something important.
But the worst part is the feeling that you might forget something that could affect your teens applications. You just want to know that everything will get done, but there’s a nagging feeling that something might get missed.
But imagine if you and your teen had access to an easy system created by a college consultant to help your family manage the entire process easily.
Imagine if you felt calm and confident because you knew exactly when to help your teen with standardized exam prep, making a list of schools, college visits, financial aid deadlines, and application deadlines. And best of all, imagine how calm you and your teen will feel when you know exactly what’s next
This can happen for you, and quickly, with Complete College Calendar.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Curzi.
I hold a Ph.D. from Duke University, a Master of Arts from Duke University, a Master of Music from the New England Conservatory of Music, and a Bachelor of Music summa cum laude from Northwestern University.
I have taught at Duke University (Durham, NC), Baruch College (New York City), ABCD University High School (Boston, MA), Massachusetts Institute for Technology’s SEED program (pre-engineering for high school students), YMCA Achievers (SAT preparation in Boston, MA), SAT and SSAT preparation for private students in Boston and New York City, and voice, piano, and general music for private students in Brookline and Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.
My work has been featured in Collegiate Parent, Autism Parenting Magazine, Thriveworks (a nation-wide therapy organization, and Thrive Global (Ariana Huffington’s publication).
Now that I have worked in higher education for ten years, I want families to have a college application system that is simple, easy, and effective. The system I used to survive graduate school is exactly what I teach you inside Plan for Success.
I created this product because I want to share my knowledge with families who want access to a college education for their children. I want you to be able to confidently manage your teens applications, even if you don’t work in higher education. My goal is to make this process easy and straightforward so that you have more time and energy to relax as a family.
What you’ll learn inside Complete College Calendar
My favorite tips for buying and using a planner, a straightforward list of planning supplies, what kind of planner works best, and an optional motivation booster for students who need it. ($8 value)
The next section is great for students who tend to lose assignments and handouts. I explain two paper management strategies and the pros and cons of each (including which ones you should choose if you have health conditions like ADD/ADHD or if you have disabilities that affect your hands or muscle strength). This section also includes important tips for keeping each syllabus (with all your final exam deadlines) near your work for each class. ($12 value)
How to make a study station. If you have trouble sitting down to work, or if you get distracted when you work, it is so helpful to make a special space that is ONLY for schoolwork. If your school supplies tend to wander all over the house or get mixed in with laundry or your sibling’s stuff, this section is for you. It’s nice and short so that you don’t have to read a lot 😊 (6$ value)
I’ll also talk you through Syllabus Secrets, an easy 6-step system for translating those boring documents into better grades and less stress. This section also teaches you where to keep those syllabi so you never lose them. When it comes time for your final exam, you don’t want to be searching through hundreds of papers to find a due date. That’s the kind of stress that has no place in your life any more. ($27 value)
The next section is made for students who find it hard to remember important deadlines like essay due dates, midterm exams, and final projects. Don’t feel bad if you’re struggling – it’s a lot to track! I’ll share the Rainbow Deadline System, the exact technique I invented to track deadlines while earning my PhD. This system teaches you how to assemble your deadlines in one place as well as an awesome trick for knowing what’s due – in advance. You’ll never be surprised by a major deadline ever again. (33$ value)
I also include tips like how to manage little deadlines (things that are due in a day or two), what to do if you tend to leave your planner at home, what to do if you forget to check your planner, and how to keep track of random life commitments like doctor’s appointments. ($13 value)
Since I know the Rainbow Deadline System is new for all of you, you’ll also receive detailed examples of how to use it. I teach you how to adjust the system depending on where you are in the semester. Whether you’re planning at the beginning of the semester, halfway through, or close to the end, you can still use the system to give yourself plenty of heads up before things are due. It’s not going to help the night before your exam, but the whole point is that you won’t need to experience last minute study marathons anymore. ($27 value)
I even include a troubleshooting section if you’re not seeing the results you wanted. Spoiler alert: if you have a health condition that’s not treated, that can cause a lot of problems at school. Plan for Success is a very effective system that works even if you have a disability, but for best results, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting all the medical care you need. ($13 value)
That’s $139 worth of value (but don’t worry, I’ve discounted it like crazy because I want everyone who needs a copy to have access to one). You’ll get the whole bundle for just $27.
Questions? You’re in the right place.
Q: My teen has tried other systems before. Can this really help them?
I’ve been working as an educator for ten years at places like Duke and Baruch College, so the problems that students have are not new to me. I’ve been carefully tweaking my systems over the years to make them simple and effective. You’ll have the benefit of my experience as an educator, but you’ll also get to see exactly what worked for me when I was getting my Ph.D. I literally would not be a doctor without this system.
Q: Is it complicated? I don’t know if I’m up for an elaborate new system.
A: It’s super simple! I teach you my systems step-by-step. The steps themselves are super simple, like “get a few pieces of plain paper.” I want you to be able to achieve success easily, even if you’ve struggled with this your entire life.
Q: What if I work full time and am too busy to teach this system to my teen?
A: No worries! I’ve been teaching for so many years that I’ve gotten very good at explaining things easily and clearly. I know you want to help your teen as much as you can, but if your work schedule is just too insane right now, this system is straightforward. Your teen will definitely be able to teach themselves independently (though a little encouragement from a parent or caregiver never hurts! 😊)
Q: Will learning this system take a long time? My teen is super busy.
A: Expect the entire system to take an hour or two. Your teen can plan an entire semester in about the same time that it takes to watch a movie. Even better, your teen can use this system throughout high school and college. That’s years of benefit from just an hour or two of upfront time investment!
Q: What if I have ADD/ADHD? Will it still work for me?
A: Many students with ADD/ADHD find that color-coding can be very effective. The Rainbow Deadline System uses color to communicate urgency and will likely be much more helpful than just writing in pen or pencil. My systems are not a replacement for medical care (and yes, you will likely have a much easier time if you have access to appropriate treatment). But I literally created this system to help people who are not neurotypical. I want you to experience tons of success and I created this course to help make that happen.
Q: My teen is so impatient! Do you think it will work for them?
A: What’s nice about the Plan for Success system is that it’s fast. If your teen can survive the hour or two it takes to set up your planner, you’re literally set for the rest of the semester. I recommend creating a reward before you start to help with motivation (creating a little self-bribe is actually the first step of the Rainbow Deadline System, because I think everyone could use a little boost when learning something new!).
Q: What if it’s not the beginning of the semester? Is it too late to use Plan for Success?
A: No worries! I’ve included super detailed instructions about how to adjust Plan for Success based on how many weeks you have left in the semester. You’ll learn what to do if it’s halfway through the semester and how to plan if you have only five days until a final exam. You can adjust the system for almost any amount of time! It’s not effective the night before an exam, so if your exams are literally tomorrow, get a good night’s sleep, do your best, and then come back ASAP to learn this system once exams are over. If you invest a little time and money into Plan for Success, you’ll never end up in a last-minute study binge ever again.
Who is this for?
Working Parents of teens and college students
You want to help your student as much as possible but juggling work and home leaves you with very little energy.
Stay-at-home parents of teens and college students
You want to help your student with everything they need but parenting and managing your home is a ton of work. You would love an easy solution to help your student.
Parents or primary care-givers with ADHD or other executive functioning difficulties.
You love your child and you want to help them, but planning and organizing give you hives. You would love an easy solution that can help your student stay organized.
Parents of teens or older students who have executive functioning difficulties.
Your child has been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, autism, or another condition that affects planning and focus. They have trouble planning because all of the text looks the same. You believe they would respond really well to a visual color-based system.
Parents with chronic illness who have disorganized teenagers or college students.
You want to help your student with everything they need, but your health is unbelievably draining. Your symptoms are unpredictable and very difficult to live with, and you generally need a ton of rest to keep your health stable. You would love an easy way to help your student that takes an hour or less and that helps them throughout the rest of their years in school. If you have a health flare, you might not be able to help as much as you would like, so it would be great if your teenager or college student had access to a system that they could easily learn by themselves.
Students who have trouble managing and remembering major deadlines, or who have difficulty organizing important papers such as take-home assignments.
You’re tired of teachers giving you a hard time when you forget quizzes and exams, and you would love an easy color-coded system. You would especially love if you could save yourself months of stress with just an hour or two of work.

Imagine that the next time you ask your teen about their homework, they say, “no worries, I’ve got this.” And imagine that little smile on their face that tells you that they’re so proud.
Your teen shouldn’t have to struggle for a moment longer than they have to.
