After viewing this I want to commit to spending more time planning, more time in Quadrant 2. I have started by actually using the calendar on my phone to input all my deadlines for these classes as well as a few for work. I also inputted a reminder a day before each deadline, so if I do forget I’ll at least get a 24 hour reminder. I will think about how to schedule my time a little better, in order to get work done on time and also plan time to relax so I don't burn out. I’m lucky that this is a 3 day weekend, so I have a little extra time to catch up on things and start the new week with first things first.
My time management has been poor lately. After listening to Dr.Pumpian’s screencast, the part that really resonated with me was Covey’s Time Quadrant chart of how to put first things first. A lot of my time lately has fluctuated between #1 and #4. I have had an increase of usual work in the classroom and also by participating in a WASC committee, as well as this program picking up the pace, and while I try to spend time Quadrant 2, I often find myself forgetting one deadline or another and rushing to get things done. When I finally catch up, I switch gears to #4 but trying to relax may be wasting too much time.
