Organizing Your Paperwork, Part 2: Creating a System. This is episode 739 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
In part 1 of this series on organizing your paperwork I noted that to get rid of your piles of paper you have to:
1. Handle this now.
2. Set aside time.
3. Create a place to put your paper files.
4. Create a system to file your paper.
In this episode - Organizing Your Paperwork, Part 2: Creating a System I share with you how to make it easy to get out from under your piles by creating a system for filing. I share that you need to get your supplies and locations to file.
1. Get hanging file folder cabinets or furniture that has hanging file drawers.
2. Get hanging file folders with plastic tabs.
3. Get regular file folders.
3. Get a label maker.
4. Decide how you will file using the alphabet.
5. Determine how you will write the name of what is in the file folder.
6. Start filing and get rid of those piles.
Before you know it, you will be pile free and feel less stressed because now your desk is no longer a mess, and you can find your paperwork.
Have fun creating that system and getting out from under your piles.

Self-Regulation: Controlling Your Behaviors. This is episode 737 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
On this episode I share my thoughts about self-regulation. Self-regulation is recognizing when you are not focused on controlling your behaviors. You could have had a bad morning, an interaction that made you angry, or just seem to always be out of sorts when that one kid or colleague come your way. You have to get control of you.
I share a few thoughts about getting control of you before you end up apologizing for your actions.
Thanks for listening!

Organizing Your Paperwork: Get Rid of Your Piles. This is episode 736 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Do you make piles of paper and you swear that you can find whatever you need? The piles keep growing and growing and you start realizing that you really don't know where anything is located. That is if you are actually honest with yourself - you know that you are lying to you.
On this episode I share my thoughts about getting out from under those piles. Afterall, I was one of those crazy pile builders and now I am very proud to share that I no longer create stacks of paper.
Get rid of those piles.
Thanks for listening!
