Try to arrive early and get your thoughts in order before the day begins.]]> 2021-09-16 01:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744394563 Timers https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744438209 The best advice anyone ever gave me is to set a timer for… everything! Lessons, small groups, reminders for specials, work time before/after school. It’s easy to get lost in the never-ending to do list, but prioritize what HAS to be done, set a timer to do it, and then move on. Make sure to take care of you! ]]> 2021-09-16 01:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744438209 https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744441441 List, list, list! 
Every little thing just write it down and group common things together. 
Select 3 task that can help propel you forward.

The calendar that’s attached to your gmail/outlook? USE IT! You can turn email into tasks and it can help you manage your time well. 

Set timers to help you keep track of your time and where it is going. 

Use a stopwatch to time yourself to help you figure out how to block out your schedule. 

Remember grace: everything won’t get done, but the key is to choose to prioritize  tasks that will give you the biggest bang for your buck in that moment.

If it weren’t for having systems in place, I would be all over the place. Your seasoned teachers might be able to share what is working for them. ]]> 2021-09-16 02:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744541945 Calendar https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744545562 Put things on your calendar, and DO them. If you're supposed to go for coffee with a friend, do it. Create your schedule and stick to it. Knowing you have something to do at a specific time, will create a deadline to finish whatever tasks have to be finished. Prioritize, schedule and execute. ]]> 2021-09-16 02:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744545562 Emails https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744553042 They will get overwhelming fast! Check them everyday-yes everyday! If you don’t, you’ll get so overwhelmed and behind!]]> 2021-09-16 02:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1744553042 A little every day katherine_post1 https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1754939989 For some people, completing a little every day works well. For example, you could work on an assignment for 15 minutes a day so that it is completed within a week or two. For me, it is easier to set aside a 1 hour block of time and knock it all out at once. It helps to minimize distractions if you do a big block of time. ]]> 2021-09-20 18:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_post1/data8xme13mrrfjy/wish/1754939989
