Yay for Productivity!

This afternoon I finished my required work for tomorrow early.  I did not have a staff meeting or tutoring today, so I was home from school early.  I went for a walk, showered, and ate dinner.  I then decided to work ahead on my Smart Board files so that I wouldn't have to do them this weekend.  I was planning on doing two weeks worth, and if I got really ambitious I would try for more.  I ended up being able to do 4 weeks worth of Smart Board days in under two hours!  I am super excited about that.  The program only froze on me one time, and I had 13 files of it open at that point so it was understandable.

Another instance of productivity was on Saturday.  I managed to accomplish my entire list for the day - that virtually never happens.  I was especially excited because I had a couple of ambitious things on my list, including 4 weeks of lesson plans and finishing my taxes.  Happily that all got accomplished.

One of the best parts of this productivity is that I have a vacation next week.  Since the work got done now, I can enjoy other activities during my break: like visiting people, reading my new book (which I told myself I could not read before break because I had work to do), sleeping in, and things around my house.

Now, I need to get my productivity to include the lingering pile of mail on my desk.  It has been opened, the items of immediate importance have been dealt with, but there are many things still to be read or taken care of.  Somehow my productivity is typically higher in school related activities - probably because those have a deadline whereas things at home do not.
