Happy Birthday!

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in systems that people had that helped them get their "stuff" done--or what kept them from getting their stuff done. I have been in education for over 20 years, and am currently a school principal. During my career, I have managed to put together some a system and some strategies that I believe not only work for me, but can work for anyone who is interested in being more organized, experiencing less stress, and managing the limited amount of time available to us. Please visit often and enjoy.

That is what I wrote five years ago today. That was the very first post. Almost 450 posts later, it's still here, and the posts are more regular than they have ever been. During that time, this blog has explored many aspects of organization and time management. It has inspired the creation of blogs at every single school in my former school system. Through workshops on blogging, many others have created their own and are able to share their voices with the whole world, or at least the little corner of the world which chooses to tune in. In a post called Of Givers and Takers, I shared my own thoughts on the "whys" of blogging.

I have learned a great deal along the way. I have met some great folks in cyberspace and gained from their ideas. I hope they have gained from mine.

Thanks for stopping by. Whether this is your first visit or whether you are a regular, you are always welcome. I will do everything I can to make it worth your while.

Thanks, Pattie! "The world" is right. If you look at the statistics for hits on the district blog lately, they aren't coming from the school system. They are coming from Google searches for "In a Million Words or Less," the post that YOU authored. No telling how many people you have never met will be inspired by that one post.
