Hi Matt...can you please go into more detail how you use your running files,with the stickie notes?

[@Sergeant-of-the-crossing-guard]

Hi Matt, could you make the daily form you use available? I had hoped it would be in your book. Thank you for making that free, by the way. Since you seem to have a handle on time management, could you offer suggestions for keeping teaching materials (both How to Teach Better and New Ideas in my Subject Matter) and how to build time into one’s schedule to consider new ideas (thinking doesn’t necessarily happen on demand) :-)

Hi Sunny, thanks for the question. What I do cover in my book is the idea of “fixed” vs. “flexible” time. The daily form is nothing more than an Apple calendar day printed out. Any calendar program would work. I print out 8 at a time (Mon- Mon) and spread them out. The fixed events have already been entered into my computer once, so they are repeatable, sync-able, and shareable. Examples of fixed events for teaching would be things like classes, meetings, commute, etc. I establish flexible tasks with nothing more than 1.5”x2” post-it notes. I assign them to spots between fixed events on the pages, when I am planning my week. Then if I need to adjust my flexible tasks as developments emerge, it’s a very easy transfer of a post-it note. Hope this helps.
