It's Not Tuesday...

...it's Thursday.

It seems like I blinked my eyes and this week was gone. It certainly wasn't a lack of work that made this week pass by in a flash. In fact, it's the opposite.

I walked in to the office on Monday morning and started answering emails, walk-ins, and help requests. I can't remember a moment this week I wasn't doing at least two things at once.

I wonder if I am still doing things as well as I'd like, because I know it's difficult to give anything the full attention it deserves when doing several things at once.

I won't go into tons of detail about all the projects going on, but they are coming non stop. I looked outside at my lawn as I drove home today and noticed it was half-mowed. There is a line right down the middle, where I left off when it got dark on Sunday night.

Seriously, how did it get to be Thursday already?

Who's got some advice for slowing things down a bit?

I'm working on a good blog topic for Tuesday, something that came out of my mouth during a training session today that I need to develop a little more fully and write about. A room full of educators was sharing how busy all of us had been this week with all the new changes we've been encountering this new school year. I said that I'd like to say it'll pass and we'll get the hang of it, but instead I suspect that things are not going to slow down for any of us. There are exponentially more new things that come our way in technology, education, at our jobs, in our lives in general. I am interested in exploring ways we can prepare our students for a world where the number one thing they will need to do is solve new and often unforeseen issues as they come at them in real time.

Doing the odd numbers on the multiple choice worksheet simply won't cut it.

Talk to you next Tuesday.
