#81 Do 1 Homework Assignment In Advance

Make it 2! With an impending move, I decided I better get my assignments from last week done ASAP. Usually, I do my assignments the night before or the day of because I am Master Procrastinator. So, this goal is actually a fairly big step for me. (Now, if I could only do all my assignments in advance).

By Friday afternoon, I had my lesson plan for my Tuesday class done and 2 reviews of professional articles completed for my Thursday class. By last night I had a chapter read for my Thursday class.

I think it's a little bit easier to do these assignments ahead of time because they are either interesting, usable in my future classroom, or important to what I'm trying to learn. Writing a lesson plan is going to probably come in handy somewhere along the line, so it's a lot easier to sit down and do it.

Still, I have to give myself a nice pat on the back for not procrastinating. I thought about putting it off, but instead I sat down and did it and didn't have to worry about it for the rest of the weekend. What a nice feeling.
