do Discussion boards by Thursday, Learning Activities Friday and Assignment papers Saturday and Sunday.  It's tough.  I did finish one paper by Saturday, and that was wonderful!

I try to do a little each day and then I feel less overwhelmed. It does help to work ahead on projects. It has definetly been an big adjustment for me. It has been challenging to manage my time.

I have set up a schedule where I make sure to finish all of my discussion board posts by Friday, then I am able to focus on the Learning Activities and Assignments over the weekend. So far I have had at least 1 day of the weekend free to focus on this, but that could change as the holiday season/conference season/grading time approach.

I've been making progress in getting into a routine, and know that it's better to get assignments done in the beginning of the week. I also have two young daughters, so work, grad school, family life and taking care of myself is all about balance!! I try to give myself one evening off a week from extra activities, to de-stress and enjoy my family.

I have tried to set aside a certain day to do each thing that is required. Original post on Tuesday, follow ups on Thursday, Learning Activity on Friday-Sunday. Then working on assignments in free time. This past week has been very difficult though. I had a work injury that has landed me with physical therapy and dr. appointments. And I also had a bridal shower for myself this weekend so that took away a full day of work time. October weekends are busy for me with pre wedding stuff so I am trying to find time to move more of my work into the week but its hard to do with all the home and school requirements.

I have struggled a bit with keeping up with everything. I already knew I was a procrastinator but it keeps showing through...

It has definitely turned into a balancing act of work, school and a life outside of all of that.

It is definitely hard to balance everything.  I have found that I have to set aside specific time for each assignment, post, and activity.  I try to have my original discussion post in by Wednesday, Learning activity done by Friday and the rest of the time spent on the big assignments.  However, I do seem to spend a lot of time on the class and not enough with family.

I usually try and start with my first discussion board post and outlining my weekly assignment or one of the larger assignments. This last week has been rough since I'm teaching all new classes, but so far I've made it!

I set up "appointments" in my Google Calendar for when I have class, when to check the discussion board (a couple of times per week), when I'm going to focus on the Weekly Learning Activities and when I'm going to work on my other assignments. The trick is to keep to this schedule, rather than just "moving" the appointment to another day (which is really convenient to do in Google Calendar!)

I am in super efficient mode! I currently have 18 people here from Germany for a 3-week exchange program, so I am living between school, homework, and hosting duties. Things will be so easy when they leave!

I start looking at the discussion on Wednesday evening. Thursday evening is when I do all my grading and prepping for the following week. Then I come back to the assignments for this class on Friday and go back and forth with my teaching things.

It's hard but I keep a list of "things to do" and try to hit everything.

I have a pretty good routine down now but I wouldn't recommend it to others. It involves doing most of the work on the weekends and early in the morning. My discussion posts are the biggest struggle for me so far because I focus so much on teaching during the week.

For me, I try to do one item a day. That may be doing the discussion board on Tuesday. Learning Activity on Wednesday and the Assignment on Friday.  I also try to limit my time to a set amount and wherever I am, stop. Break. Start back where I left off when I want to resume.

I have been trying to just take it one day at a time.  I try to get all my ideas and everything down during the week and use the weekend to finalize everything and then focus on citing with APA.  That seems to be my biggest problem is making sure everything is cited correctly.

The balance has been harder that I'd expected! I hate the feeling of lots of things going on, and not really doing any of them well. But, I sat down this weekend and scheduled out this week, so I'm hoping that will help...

I have started to get more of  a routine with how I'm completing assignments.  I work on the discussion posts and weekly assignment right away on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Then I start working on the larger assignments on Thursdays and Fridays.  The weekend is when I finish up any assignments and submit them for grading.  I've been completing things in my own classroom in the morning and save this coursework until after school. Things will change once I start teaching at the after-school program but for now it works for me!

I would agree, some weeks are better than others. I am learning to look ahead at what the next week will bring with different commitments. I find that the hardest thing for me to remember is that I have to go back and comment on the discussion board after all of the preliminary posts. I am really enjoying the communication though!

Some weeks are better than others. Between grading during the week and remembering to have my discussion posted by Wednesday/Thursday can be a balancing act! I spend one evening (usually Tuesday) mapping out the assignment for the week-outlining, getting my cover page and my resources cited.
Most weekends have a 3-4 hour block to work on writing, weekly activities and revisions. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that has a hard time getting things done during the week...but knowing that I have Saturday or Sunday to get things done is a great feeling!

I do not have the hang of this thing yet.  There are plans I had made for this semester that are coming up short.  It is very hard to keep up.

If I have one trick it's with APA battles. I'm finding the best idea is to ignore it until the end. I make my own short citations as I'm writing and then go back and put them in proper format when I finish. Most of the errors I make come when I am trying to cite while I am writing.

I find myself struggling to find the time to complete my own coursework. I spend so much time and energy into my classroom that leave myself as a learner behind (I know that this is not ok as a teacher I must always be a good learner!
