Ironically, this book supposedly about getting organized and saving time was really unorganized and took up a lot of my time。 I honestly wondered if the ebook version I was reading was the unedited version or something。 It was all over the place, rambling, and unclear。 I really wish I had used my time to plan and actually get some stuff done rather than reading this book。 The reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because there were some OK ideas, but none were innovative or life-changing Ironically, this book supposedly about getting organized and saving time was really unorganized and took up a lot of my time。 I honestly wondered if the ebook version I was reading was the unedited version or something。 It was all over the place, rambling, and unclear。 I really wish I had used my time to plan and actually get some stuff done rather than reading this book。 The reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because there were some OK ideas, but none were innovative or life-changing by any means。 Save your money and a ton of time and just use Pinterest or Google instead。 。。。more

I was fortunate to go to one of her workshops years ago。 I took a small break away from the classroom and needed a refresher on organization! Her system is doable!

I love reading and learning about strategies to create a life of my own design, but always find myself struggling to make those strategies fit to cover both my personal and my teaching life since I'm not really trying to escape the 9-5 or start my own business。 This book aims to solve that exact problem, and does that well。 While anyone who has already completed their first year of teaching may find some of the systems to be obvious, I was still able to find unique strategies and new ideas to tw I love reading and learning about strategies to create a life of my own design, but always find myself struggling to make those strategies fit to cover both my personal and my teaching life since I'm not really trying to escape the 9-5 or start my own business。 This book aims to solve that exact problem, and does that well。 While anyone who has already completed their first year of teaching may find some of the systems to be obvious, I was still able to find unique strategies and new ideas to tweak systems I already have in place。 I'm excited to use this book in conjunction with my standbys (namely, books by the Wongs and Lemov) as I prepare for the upcoming school year。 。。。more

Very practical! While it included several strategies I already use, I gained some new ones。 Just wish I had read this my first year of teaching!

Emma

Lots of practical advice!

Robyn Horn

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach to organization for teachers, but more of a choose your own adventure book and I loved that。 I gleaned several useful, wonderful ideas that will be immediately helpful to me and saw others I flagged to return to if I ever change the levels I teach。 Great book。 Encouraging, practical and not pretentious。

BlaireT

I thought this was extremely helpful, practical and motivating! Warning: for type A personalities only!

This book has some good tips and tricks for organization and time management。 While it recommends using either paper or technology, the technology options presented were fairly limited and/or dated。 This may be a good text to get some ideas for ways to tweak organization, but it isn't a great fit for someone who is already pretty organized and tech-savvy。 This book has some good tips and tricks for organization and time management。 While it recommends using either paper or technology, the technology options presented were fairly limited and/or dated。 This may be a good text to get some ideas for ways to tweak organization, but it isn't a great fit for someone who is already pretty organized and tech-savvy。 。。。more
