I did have grand designs for blogging weekly, possibly even twice weekly - but it turns out that things get prioritised, and this being an extra bonus activity for me personally (as opposed to something I have to check off for others) has taken a tumble to the bottom of the pile.
It isn't quite so bad that I'm crying out for help - but it has taken a good week of prioritising and self-managing to ensure that all the commitments I've made are honoured. I started thinking about our students - they too have life commitments, family commitments, seniors often also have work commitments. Into that mix we add deadlines, assessments schedules and generally scary concepts such as exams.
This week I am going to stop and get my students to do some self-reflection and some planning. We aim to teach the competencies of self-management; but if as an adult it is easy to get snowed under how much more as a young teen. We're going to add in a few more checkpoints for our work and just make sure that everyone who needs extra support is getting it.
