Not enough hours in the day...

With all the things going on in our professional and personal lives its hard to keep track of everything!  I liked Tolis' idea to cross things off on our course syllabus, but I still feel like my to do list is outnumbered by the things I need to cross off.  I thought my smartphone would help me keep better track of my life and schedule, but I don't have the time to put everything on my calander. 

The amount of paperwork teachers are required to keep, along with all the things we have to keep track of leads to a mess.  I think of that Free Credit Score commercial.  Check the weather, check your mail...check, check, check.  Couldn't it all be located in one place???  There has to be a way to streamline somethings.  I am alway looking for new ways to keep organized.  I even had a student this week thank me for keeping things in the classroom organized, but I didn't tell her how disorganized I feel. 

Somethings that keep me organized are the TeacherWorks program that came with my textbook series.  It has all the resources and lesson plans in one place.  I keep my students organized by using a Google Site with all their assignments and resources.  One way I keep all my favorite websites organized is by using a Delicious account.  I can access my sites on any computer by signing in, and on my laptop the Delicious toolbar keeps them right at the top of my screen, right at my fingertips.  It reminds me of things I wanted to go back to at another time and things I wanted to share with family or colleagues. 

I am always on the look out for new tools to keep organized, if you have any feel free to post!
