I listened to your presentation this summer at the NAESP conference. I’m going to admit, at the time I was just kind of in there listening with no intention of getting a whole lot from your presentation. During your presentation I thought a couple of times, “Well, yes that’s probably a good idea,” but I didn’t feel any amazing flash of enlightenment. However, in the weeks following I found myself ordering a lovely set of teal hanging file folders and matching manila folders to set up a Tickler File. Then I started reducing my email inbox, every day I ended with fewer emails than I had the day before until it was magically down to just a dozen and then seven and then none. I briefly marveled at whatever subliminal power you must have possessed, but thought, “Ha! We’ll see what really happens when school starts!” Well school has been going almost six weeks. My desk is still clean at the end of the day and my email inbox is empty when I leave. The most crazy thing of all, is that most nights I am leaving 40 minutes earlier than I did last year while getting into more classrooms and having time during the week for some professional study. What did you do to me? Thanks, Belinda Ross
