When we think of planning, any teacher tends to jump straight to Lesson Plans. However, planning other parts of our lives might be just as important. Cool Cat Teacher says that if we plan the things we need to get done, we are more likely to actually do them. Recently, I have been keeping a calander like the one described in her blog. I have found that it actually does help me keep up with the things I need to do. It is harder to brush something off when you get notifications on your phone yelling at you to do it. As a student, I find that I am much more likely to study, do an assignment or write a paper early if I have it written down or have a notification on my phone reminding me. Without this method, I used to forget about assingments until either the morning of or the night before. As a teacher, I think this method would help me make sure I get done my lesson plans, grading and other tasks not necessarily related to school early as well. I highly suggest keeping some sort of record of what needs to be done to all people, regardless of occupation or age. It really helps us unorganized people stay on top of things.
