I'll put it here in writing. I'm a procrastinator. One of the world's worst. I bring home stacks and stacks of papers to grade in a weekend when it would take me only a few minutes every day. If I have a big project I start it and go great guns for awhile and then quit until a few minutes before that project is due.
But....I need to do better than the adrenaline rush of putting off a job and then doing it as well as it should be done. In that vain, I was proud of myself..after grading those mounds and mounds of papers, I actually got my midterms done 2 days early...and forgot to send them home.
And I usually do my lesson plans sometime on Sunday night - usually 8ish or after and spend several hours. But this week I had dinner plans for finished my lesson plans before 6:00. It made such a nice evening knowing that when I got home from dinner my time was my own.
And I have bought a notebook to carry with me at all times so that when great camp ideas come up I can jot them down right then and have them all in one place so when camp time comes its all together in one place instead of "where did I put the notes on?"
So, in my old age, I am going to try to plan and do things in a more timely matter. It will be less stressful and give me some free time hopefully. You friends of mine...stay on me...
