This is the first Wednesday of my summer break... ahhhhhhh! Just because I'm on break doesn't mean that I take a break from school work. Not so, it just means that I take my good old time getting things done. I've brought a TON of things home from my classroom to work on over the summer. The problem is that I'm taking my time putting it away until I get the gumption to work on it. Do any of you have a similar problem?
It seems that everywhere that I turn is school "stuff"! Piles of it! On Tuesday I tried to tame the mess. Now everything is in organized piles, but still piles; piles arranged in the order that I want to tackle. Guess I'll just have to start doing some work. So much for summer break!
Lol, my picture is somewhat similar to yours. Only my pile is a lot bigger because I had to take home EVERYTHING. So, no helpful advice from me!

Yes!!! I have a similar problem! In the past, I tend to "get serious" about my pile around mid-July, and then I get stressed the last few weeks of summer because I'm running out of time and won't get to finish it all! GOOD LUCK tackling your piles!
ReplyDeleteI brought home a big pile of laminated materials... But I probably won't cut them out until August lol
ReplyDeleteI live less than five minutes from my school, so I quit bringing stuff home to work on. I'll stop by school for a little bit every no and then and that breaks down on me dragging stuff home with me. If I bring it home, I never work on it. Lol

If it was me those piles would stay untouched until school started again in August. I always have lofty goals for the summer and they typically don't happen. I am not motivated in the summer!

I am forcing myself to go get supplies for projects today! I've been putting it off, but time to get going! :)

I came over from Wordless Wednesday! I feel so guilty! I'm using the excuse that we're getting highs in the 90s for my reason not to unpack and organize my school stuff in the garage!

I have three piles- one is stuff I brought home to work on, one is stuff I have purchased that will go back to school eventually, and one is stuff I am collecting for my daughters first classroom!

Teachers Are Terrific!
Yes! My room is one of the first ones they are cleaning, so it's off limits for a while. This is a good thing because I can set up early. However, in the meantime I am dealing with a huge pile, and I can't seem to find a home for everything.

I bring home a few bookbags and put them in the garage. Then I procrastinate until the end of July. Then I slowly begin to look at a few things one day at a time or not. :)
