Monday Musings

1. I am behind on these posts. Sorry I have been neglectful! I've been traveling and it's the end of the semester which combine to create a CRAZY time for me. I just wrapped up the Seattle/Vancouver trip posts, but I still have Chicago to post and now our Good Friday cruise. And in two weeks I'll be in Kansas City! None of those will be as long because the trips are shorter, but I still want to post the pictures!
2. I ordered a new (second) planner. The Erin Condren is just not cutting it by itself - I think I need daily pages, but I can't convince myself to shell out for a Hobonichi when the April start date isn't available on Amazon or Jet Pens. I think I will probably use both to cover all of my bases - daily, weekly, and monthly pages - and I hope it will help me reorganize my thoughts before school starts back up in August.
3. The drive to work is still killing me, but today I have an off-site meeting at 9:30 so I get to go in a little bit later than usual! I am trying to look on the bright side. I think the cruise and forced time away helped.
4. The semester is almost over, which means I am behind on grading - per usual. I should be able to get caught up in the next two days though!
5. I just got asked to go to something on Thursday for guidance counselors and I am saying no. If I wasn't so busy, I'd make time for it - but my work priorities right now include getting caught up on emails and grading. Not that helping admissions isn't a priority, but everything can't be a priority. If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
6. I may try time tracking this week. I could start next week (once I have my paper daily planner), but why wait when you can start now?
