How do I do it?! My favorite tool has to be a to do list. Yes this may seem oldfashioned in some ways but I seem some benefits:
1. Writing it out helps me remember
2. Crossing things off feels good (as oppose to deleting or checking off on computer!)
3. I can fit it into all parts of life and not just teaching!
First I'm very fond of my monthly calendar from Staples - it is a life saver as I'm always planning weeks and months ahead but from day to day I like to rely on a to do list as oppose to planner. Lately, I've been looking for more resources and decided to share what I have found. Since my to do list now has categories (wedding, grad school, regular school, personal, monthly....) I'm searching for better organizing. Take a look at what I found and see what works for you.
AWESOME To Do lists - FREE and it has categories!! One of my faves! |
Great FREE lists! |
Great for post-its (who doesn't love those?!) FREE download from a great blog!
How do you stay organized??! What is your best tool for keeping everything together?
I have a planner that I write EVERYTHING in. I also have a notebook that I write all my to-do lists in. I write down everything I need to do that week and cross it off as I complete them. I don't think I'd call myself Type-A because I'm really only organized when it comes to teaching....organization is a must for teachers! :) Thanks for the to-do lists. I need something cuter than just plain ol' notebook paper! :)
