What I have learned....

I have learned that when I am more organized, I am a much more pleasant person. I am still struggling with my organizational system that we developed this summer for the lab but it is better than last year. When I can get it more organized, then I feel like so much pressure will be off of me. Right now, I have delegated many of the things that I did last year to my students. The problem is that I still have to remind them of what they should be doing even though they sign in each week with their title and responsibilities. It is great that I do not have to do everything but I still spend a lot of time chasing them down to do things. The problem then is that I do not have time to go back and check them out and then I realize too late that they did not do their job. Whenever I do have time to do everything because they are following directions, I am much happier because I can actually focus on teaching cooking. I have learned that I need to have a better plan for me to be happy.
