In my self-analysis, I realized I coming to class five minutes early does not allow for all of the preparation required to set up for the day. I like to have my class topic and objectives written on the board before students arrive, and most days I am bombarded with questions before I get a chance to set my books down. There goes my five minute lead! I also take my 18-month old to daycare every morning, and it is not always a predictable process. I need to create more time in the morning, so I will try the 30-day behavior to habit rule and get out of bed as soon as I am awake every day, instead of hitting the "snooze" button. What are some successful techniques that you use to carve out more time to prepare for class?
