the most important thing I have learned a/t myself
The most important thing I have learned about myself as a teacher this past year is my time management. I think each semester gets a little easier then the past semesters. I try my best to stay ahead. I find by doing this I can step forward each day. I am do not like to feel overwhelmed or like I am treading water. I make a list each morning of things to do and complete that list before the end of each day. This helps me to stay focused and task oriented at all times. I have always known that organization was important to me but I did not connect the two until the end of last year. My life runs much smoother with good time management and organization. I am proud to say that my days are not nearly as chaotic! :)
I think your strategy is working well for you. You are always either first, or one of the first to take care of blogging. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your lists idea! I have lists as well. Of course, I have always been a list maker, but I have really put that skill into overdrive this year. Having young children and a home to keep up as well as lesson planning and grades can be overwhelming if you don't have a plan and a place for everything. Good job on your time management skills and on getting things done well!
ReplyDeleteAmen sister! I am glad it is better for you this year. ME TOO! Organization IS the key.
