Back to Work

When I started this blog I was on Christmas vacation. Tomorrow I will go back to work. I am hoping to continue my writing even after I return to work. I need to make a commitment to it just like I have made a commitment to so many other things in my life. In order to do that I will need to manage my time more wisely both while at work and the time I have after work. I always have time to myself after work is over and before Garrett gets home. That is prime time to work on things.

So here is how I am hoping my Monday will look:
7:20-7:50 Homeroom (On the clock at work)
7:50-8:50 Class 1 (Work)
8:50-9:50 Class 2 (Work)
9:50-10:30 Planning time (Grade papers)
10:30-11:10 Planning time (Grade papers)
11:10-11:45 Class 3 (Work)
11:45-12:15 Lunch
12:15-12:45 Activity Period
12:45-1:45 Class 4 (Work)
1:45-2:10 Bus duty (Work)
2:10-3:10 Grade Papers
3:15-4:00 Write for myself (This includes blogging, a story, a poem, Textbroker or whatever else I am working on)

Tuesday I won't have as much time during the day to work on grading papers but I think I can still devote an hour to grading after school and devote 45 minutes or more to writing. In the past I have found staying after school every day for an hour to grade was very productive and it kept me from getting behind and stressed. I am behind on grading now as it is but I think that if I make some smart choices on what to grade and if I work efficiently in my hour after school I can get caught up quickly.

I know that I can do this.
